SWEDEN.
The Berlin Tageblatt says something
to the point about the sending of a
garrison to Aland by the government
of Russia. Sweden, says the paper,
has a deep-rooted suspicion of Russia
from way back. This suspicion was
strengthened by the treatment which
Finland received at the hands Of Rus
STA a few years ago. The danger from
the east induced Sweden to increase
her military forces, and Sweden is
carrying heavier military burdens than
any other country in Europe. The in
ternal conflicts in Russia and the re-
storation Of Finland have Gained
Sweden, but still she has cause for
turning her looks to the east with
anxiety. Russia can never be depended
on, and as long as she keeps soldiers
at Aland she is a very unpleasant
neighbor. In the course of a few hours
Russia may land troops in Sweden
The Tageblatt also mentions that Rus
STA has no international right to keep
soldiers in Aland.
