The
LANGUAGE TEST

Washington, Sept. 24.-The govern
ment's Interpretation of the language
test clause of the Seamen's act, pass
ed by the last congress, was announ-
ced last night by Secretary OF Com
-merce Redfieid. 1t sets forth that the
law does not require 'the use Of any
particular language on the part of ok-
ficers and crew of any vessel but
that "any language which is UNDER
stood in. sufficient measure by officers
and the proper proportion Of the crew
Will comply"
The requirement that members Of
the crew shall be able to understand
any order given them by their officers
is construed as meaning only such
orders as may normally be given to
members of the crew in each depart
ment of the vessel IN the course of the
usual performance Of their regular
duties. Among these duties, however,
should be included life boat work or
emergency work for such members Of
the crew as may be called upon to
perform these classes Of work"
In conclusion, Secretary Redfeld
SAYS the language test is understood
to require the safeguarding of a ves-
sci sin such a manner as shall be
helpful and not hurtful to our mari
time commerce and that 1t Is in no
sense intended to be used to create
embarrassment or to cause unneces-
sary expense or delay.

Swedes and British in
Deadlock Over Trade

Correspondence of the Associated
Press.)
Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 24.-The
English-Swed edish commission which
has for two months been striving to
adjust the trade differences between
the two countries, is no nearer sat
isfactory solution of the dispute than
while, over $25,000,00O worth of sup
plies for Russia which she urgently
needs, have accumulated in Sweden,
owing to this country's refusal to al
low the transit of goods to Russia un-
til England has modified her demands
regulating the amount of Sweden S
imports.
the commission after an adjournment
which followed apparently Intellectual
attempts to, arrive at an understand
ing, has reawakened fresh interest in
ment the most widely discussed topic
in Sweden. Hope Is generally express
ed that compromise Will be effected
which will result in more friendly re-
lations between England and Sweden.
Few are pessimistic enough to believe
that the misunderstanding will widen
into a more serious breach between
the two countries.
The two sharply conflicting points of
view which were presented to a cor
respondent of the Associated Press by
Swedish and English members of the
commission do. not, however, promise
pute, nor do they contain enough in
common to suggest the possibility of
compromise. The English members or
the commission argue that a large
amount of SUPPLIES, many of which are
directly connected with the mainten-
ance of an army and the prolongation
of the war find transit through Sweden
to Germany. They contend that con-
spicuous increase in Swedish imports
beyond her own needs is evidence that
these supplies find way to Germany
and that great many of them are ar
ticles which Germany particularly
needs, notably meat, coffee, cocoa, cot
ton, copper and lubricants of various
sorts. Being assured that these are
destined for Germany, England claims
the right to place such cargoes in the
prize courts and is enforcing this
right
1t is admitted that these cargoes are
vouched for by Swedish merchants as
having Swedish consignees as their ul-
innate destination but it is claimed
that through intermediate steps in
Sweden they find their way finally into
Germany. 1t is also stated by the Eng
Ish members of the commission that
the collision of Swedish shippers with
Germany has led to the deliberate sur
render of ships and cargoes to German
vessels and that their capture was part
OF a prearranged plan English COM
missioners admit the right of Sweden
to continue the export of her own prod
ucts to Germany and to import any
quantity of goods that 1t may be rea-
sonably supposed is for Swedish con-
sumption, but argues that this amount
should not exceed her normal imports.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1915-09-24

Calling attention to her increase in i'm
ports, the English commissioners ask
Sweden to guarantee that supplies ex-
cept for home manufactures will not
be sent to Germany or, in other words,
that there shall be no transit of sup
plies through Sweden to Germany.
The Swedish members of the commits
sion reply that her export laws which
are rigidly enforced by the government
prohibit the sending of most articles
to Germany and that exceptions are
she is forced into an exchange of sup
plies with Germany by shortage of
necessary articles in her country,
caused in many cases by England's
some articles, such as aniline dyes,
medical goods and certain kinds or
machinery which Sweden can obtain
from Germany and in order to get
tend to Germany special licenses con-
trary to her prohibitory regulations.
But it is contended that these supplies
which Germany obtains under these
Swedish commissioners claim that she
is justified in refusing to guarantee
the stoppage of all transit to Germany,
because as an independent nation, she
has a right to trade with one country
as well as another and that If England
sees fit to hold up her imports, she
will refuse to transmit supplies to Rus
sia.
The issue which has caused a dead
lock is the quantity of supplies sent to
Germany under the special licenses
contrary to Sweden's list of forbidden
exports. The English members of the
commission have called for exact fig
ures showing the export to Germany,
but such statistics, it is claimed by the
Swedish government, are not available.
The English and Swedish members of
the commission also disagree as. to the
usefulness to Germany for military
purposes OF such articles as copper
which are on Sweden's free list. The
English argue that whether the copper
Is one kind or another, it can be con-
verted into copper for military use In
Germany and that large quantities of
copper, oil and cotton have found tran
sit into Germany.
Although some of the selected sta
tistics available in Sweden are mis-
leading, they support the English con-
articles mentioned have in some cases
been trebled since the beginning of the
war. The declaration of cototn as con-
traband has of course eliminated arti-
cles from the discussion.
From Investigations made by an i'm
partial observer in Sweden, IL is clear
that although greatly decreased by
England's supervision, the transit of
considerable, supplies to Germany still
continues. After arriving and being
vouched for by Swedish consignees.
these supplies often pass through as
many as dozen hands before their
shipment to Germany. Many Swedish
merchants have frankly stated that
when they could not only command
better prices but serve their own in
