SWEDES IN TREATY WITH THE
RUSSIANS.
COMPACT, CovERINa FINANCIAL, COMMERCIAL,
AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, RATIFIED AT
PETRoGRAD.
Significant At This Time.
Fear of Russian Aggression Has Long Pre-
vailed in N~eighbouring Nation.

Stockholm, June 6, Despatch to the Lon
don Morning Post "A treaty was ratified
in Petrograd last week between Sweden and
Russia, mutually acknowledging the fnan-
cial. commercial and industrial interest of
the respective countries.
Coming at this time, the signing of a
treaty between Russia and Sweden would
seem to be more than ordinarily significant,
If the new agreement indicates q removal
of many of the causes of difference between
Sweden and Russia, it means q considerable
victory for the diplomacy Of the Allies, for
Sweden at the outbreak of the War was al
most the only country ia the world which
could be said to be pro~German. There was
considerable German sentiment III Holland
and Switzerland, and more in Bulgaria; but
Sweden was strongly against the Allies.
Her aristocratic aud, military classes to q
man, and most of the people, distrusted Rus
STA so much that at the beginning of the
war their sympathies naturally went out to
the power that appeared at that time as the
defender of Central European culture against
the Slavs.
The reason for this distrust is TO be found
in the course of Russian history since the
days when Charles XII. of Sweden and
Peter the Great Of Russia fought for the
domination Of North Eastern Europe. Peter
conquered much of Sweden's territory on
the eastern side of the Baltic and built Pc
trograd in the conquered region. Steadily
through the eighteenth century Russia
waxed and Sweden waned, and finally i'll
1909 Russia dealt a deadly blow by the con-
quest OF Finland, which had belonged to the
crown of Sweden for FIVE centuries. This
brought the Russian frontier up to a point in
the north where only a narrow strip of Swed-
ish territory separated Russia from the sea.
This has been the position throughout the
last hundred years. 1t is known that Rus
sia's movement for an ~ice-free port looks
toward the Atlantic as we'll as toward the
Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf; and
