b. Current Political Issues
The overshadowing political issue in Denmark is the problem
of how to bring the nation back to a normal life ofter the dislocations
caused by the war.
Denmark's dislocations arise, not from destruction of property
or shift in populations, but from a change in normal markets and world
scarcity of agricultural raw materials, such as fertilizer and animal feed.
(See Section II, pg. 3-4. ) At first the Government undertook to encourage
abnormally large imports in order to increase both agricultural and indus-
trial production for export. This move made Denmark's export-import balance
SO dangerously unfavorable that the government put forward, as a remedy,
the so-called Economy Plan, which calls for increase of exports and a reduc-
tion of imports to the barest minimum in order to get Denmark on her finan-
cial feet. Though all parties did not support this important legislation,
the government proceeded to put it in force. (See Section II, pg. 9-10. )
UK trade, which has always been the mainstay of Danish economy
and has meant a certain British influence in Danish politics, has recently
taken on an added political aspect because of the recently signed revised
trade treaty (see pg. II-7) which contains a stipulation that all revenues
from the increased prices Britain has agreed to pay to Denmark shall go
direct to the Danish producer. While not objecting to the principle of
having receipts go to the producer, the non-government parties, particularly
the Communists, denounce the implied outside interference in Danish internal
affairs.
