SCANDINAVIAN POLICIES
 puRlNe TIE WAR
fTasona Ledger.)


 A marked mcrease in trade reia tions between the United States and Sweden has resulted from che war. Sweden is buying more from the United States than ever before, and the United States is in turn buying more from Sweden. A Swedish politl- cal expert. writing for the New York Times. expresses the hope that large part Of th,s commerce growing out of the war win continue after the present world crisls has passed.
 Sweden is buying from the United States many things formerly bought rom other countries, while the United States is reciprocating. The develop ment of this commerce is quite natur. al. though tho British goyerrmept seems to Do of the opinion that some of the large Swedish imports from the United States are finding their way into Germany. The Swedish political expert demonstrates the falsity of the British view by showing that Sweden must buy from some country and IS disposed to lay in supplies against an emergency.
 >sweden and the other Scandinavian countries, Norway and Denmark, are acting in harmony in an effort to pre- serve neutrality and to protect their economic welfare. Shortly after the
 war broke out the ministers Of for 1 eign affairs Of Sweden and Norway ap peared before their representative as semblles and delivered Identical ad 1 dresses. embodying q statement to the enect that the Swedish onG Norwe gian governments had agreed to main tain their neutrality throughout the

AMERICA IS WORTH 4 THOUGHT

Epresdent Taft makes keen and pertinent criticism o the plan to prohibit export of munitions ot war ne og that this seemingly pacific plan involves some highly tars9e consequences.
 The reason is simple and singuiary clear If the non-eNp0r taon of war material from neuals to oegerens aoopso as an international principle, the nation winch n will have even greater advantage over peaeeu nssi0 than at present. Armanens will thus receive added rent and lack of warke preparation added dscourageen
 With no prospect of getting these supplies from neutral na ion in an emergency peacefully inclined nations will have to provide for themselves advance They will have to enlarge ther plants for productions and make provisions TOT A inc larger stock on hand than they would think necessary u der present circumstances.
 In brief the adoption of such principle would amount to
