Lansing and later had an interview with
President Wilson at the white House.
Minister Morris is home OH u leave
OF absence and did not come to Wash
ington on any special mission. II was
au~thoritatively denied that he brought
communications from any of the Scan
dinavian Governments to the United
States or submitted any proposals on
behalf Of those Governments.
Nevertheless tho Minister was able to
give Secretary Lansing much infornia-
ton about trade conditions in Sweden
and the Scandinavian countries gcner-
ally.
Because OF the peculiar position OF

tons with Great Britain. II has been
repeatedly charged that Sweden was
shipping huge quantities Of foodstufs
and other products To- Germany through
the Baltic. thus demonstrating the non
effectiveness of the British blockade Of
Germany So far rs scandinavian u
tries are concerned. On this account
Sweden H. having Extraordinary difficult
ties in getting supplies from the outside
world. the British authorities manifest
ing great suspicion Of an shipments Of
food and other products consigned TO
sweden.
The state Department has not here
tofore been completely enlightened as to
the precise situation IN this respect,
though II has heard much about 1t from
interested sources. The American meat
packers cases before the British Cow
ornment. about which there has been 20
much difficulty. relates chiefly TO con-
signments Of meats to sweden.
The efforts of the British Government
have been directed toward limiting the
mounts OF all articles Of Co~ntraband
which sweden Will be free to import
monthly, but these efforts have not been
entirely successful. An agreement has
been made with respect 10 cotton. the
British agreeing that l0,O00 bales it
month are to bc permitted TO pass freely
to sweden. This amount H. twice the
monthly consumption of former years.
In regard to meats. copper and some
other articles effective arrangements foT
such limitation of shipments have not
been made and shipments to sweden
consequently remain one of tho chief
sources of controversy between the Brit
ish and neutral shippers.

The war has changed things, Foreign

As regards the abuse of gold being

As for the exchange OF bank notes

for the gold and that the operations
could have been stopped without in

All commercial transactions which in
