More than two million laborites will be

thousand Socialists, whose anti-war

sisted by an extensive propaganda
The position TO be taken by the
miners is considered one Of the most
interesting features OF the conference.
A large number of these workers are

Eventualities May Alter
Neutrality Course, Says
Premier.
FIRMLY RESOLVED
TO MAINTAIN RIGHT
Concessions Only Open Road to
Further Demands, De.
Clares Minister.

Stockholm, Jan. 25.-Maintenance Of
neutrality in conformity with the prin-
ciples Of international law was the key
note of all the speeches before both
Houses of Parliament to-day when the
debate on tho budget was opened.
Leaders Of all parties dwelt on the
virtual unanimity Of the Swedish peo-
ME in favoring firm and impartial neu-
trality. Premier Hammarskjoeld de-
clared this to be the policy Of the gov
eminent, but he added:
1--WE repudiate the idea that our pol
icy means we will not abandon neutral
ty under any conditions. II is our
fervent desire to keep peace. and 1t is
-ur duty 10 work for this end with all
our might, but we must also reckon
with eventualities in which mainten-
ance of peace. in spite of all our eff
forts. would no longer be profitable"
Sweden, the Premier continued. had
cndcavored constantly 10 cooperate
with other neutrals, particularly Den
mark and Norway, TO promote common
aims. In these efforts Sweden had been
successful to a considerable degree. he
said. and added:
1--WE regret that these united efforts
Cor the rights and welfare of neutral
bowers and for preservation. ~ men,
toned in the Speech from the Throne,
Of the inheritance Of international law,
should depend on circumstances over
which we have no control, and TO judge
which we have no right.
Sees Change of Alignment.
But il is our conviction that the
success of such efforts would be TO the
advantage, materially and ideally not
,nly Of Sweden but of other neutral
countries and of belligerents. The
present grouping OF the powers will not
le eternal.
ain other circumstances a belligerent
:erhaps will be very sorry that II
has, for the sake Of an often doubtful
and temporary advantage, torn up
treaties and provisions Of international
law, when IL is too late TO restore or
replace them"
The Premier admitted that certain
:ncCnveniences. especially Of CONNER
cial nature, might have been mitigated
f the government had been less scrupu-
lous in regard 20 absolute and impartial
neutrality.
"However, experience has shown u.s."
the Premier continued. that in view
of the perpetual and rapid aggravation
Of the commercial war one can depend
FOR only short time on the precarious
enjoyment of advantages procured by
such arrangements.
"Other ncutralS also have learned
from experience that concessions merely
give rise to fresh demands. When
once one enters on the road of CON
cessions it is easy 70 get farther and
farther away from real neutrality.
Restrictions Risk.
"On the other hand, there is the risk
that dangerous restrictions Of our
rights and liberty, should we submit
10 them, will probably remain in force,

BRITISH ADVANCE
ENEMY TRADING ACT
Bill Passed to Third Reading in
Commons, Despite US. Protest.

London, Jan. 25.-The House OF
Commons to-day passed the third read
ing of the trading with the enemy bill
without division, after the adoption Of
amendments concerning minor details
in the application of the measure.
The feature of the debate was sew
eral bitter attacks on the Board OF
Trade, on the ground that it had
shown too much leniency to aliens.
Washington, Jan. % Secretary Lam
sing announced this afternoon that thc
American governments represC IN tations
against the inclusion of American trade
in Great Britain's enforcement Of the
trading with the enemy act he'd gcHc
forward TO the American Embassy in
London.
Although the representations d. ret
take the form of a protest, because the
act is limited in its immediate opcr-
alton to British subjects. strenuous OBJ
lection is directed against any attempt
TO apply the Legislation to American
trade.
The United States contends that the
proposed interference with trade is II.
legal, and that it would be impossible
to successfully aim a blow at Germany
without doing grave injustice TO Amer
lean commerce.

1000 Turks Captured
i'm Battle at ErZerum

london, Jan. 25.-Four thousand
Turks. including fifty officers, were
captured by the Russians in the recent
battle in the neighborhood of Erzerum'
according to Reuter- dispatch from
Petrograd. The report says:
THE rout of the Turks in the battle
which resulted in their being driven
into Erzerum appears from later &C
counts 10 have been even more de-
oisive than shown in the first reports
Apart from the ottoman losses IN
actual battle. the Russians captured
during the pursuit 80 officers and 4.OOO
men. They also took scores Of ma
chine guns and enormous quantities oil
munitions. -,
"The influx of 10000 Turks in Er-
zerum is considered to reduce the de
fensiye power of the fortress.

saws. cargoes destined for other coun-
.ries. like Norway.
Referring to "The Morning Posts"
igures. the statement says, there are
two general criticisms to be made Of
them The first criticism is that the
statistics themselves are incorrect, dit
fering from the American trade re-
-urns from which they purport TO be
taken. The term 'neutrals" has been
substituted for the American term
other Europe" Thus "The Morning
Post" figures for -four, exported 10
neutrals. says the statement, include eX-
rorts from the United States to France
and Italy, among other countries.
Secondly, the statement says, The
Morning Posts statistics completely ig-
more the fact that in normal times neu-
tral European countries all obtain great
supplies from Germany and Russia. 1t
is forgotten. the statement adds, that
Russia annually exports 3OO'OOo,ooO
bushels Of grain, which must now come
from other available sources. More
over the United States export stats
tics naturally take no account Of the
very large quantities of goods placed
in the prize court in England.
Referring to "The Morning Posts
figures that 462 900 pairs of boots were
exported from the United States to
neutral countries in 1913 and 4,oOOOOO
pairs in 1915, the statement observes
that the neutrals here include the Bal
kans. Italy, Russia, Switzerland and the
Spanish Peninsula. in addition TO Sean
d5navia and Holland. and says II should
be remembered that these countries i'm
ported some 100000 pairs from Ger
many in 1913, while Italy, requiring
presumably much greater quantities,
received from Great Britain 100000
pairs less in 1915 than in 1913.
France. the statement continues, not
only received 100000 pairs more from
England in 1915, but her imports from
the United States increased during the
first nine months Of the year from no.
GOO pairs in 1913 to over 100000 pairs
in 1918.
The statement says that the figures
for all leather goods show no increase
in imports into Scandinavia ana MOI
land over 1913. and that il may there
fore be confidently deduced that the IN
creased exports of boots from the
United States were mainly due TO the
sbutting of Of the normal supplies and
The increased requirements OF italy ana
concerning bacon. the statement de-
clares that "The Morning Posts dec
laration that there had been an IN
crease in Dutch imports by 5.OOO,Ooo
Mounds would be entirely accounted Tor
by imports into Holland for the Bel
Elan Relief Commission, while with re re,
gard to the increase of 555'OoO'oVo
hounds 10 other neutrals, when lhcIuqe

seem highly probable that large pro-
norton Of il had gone to Italy.
Concerning cotton, figures are gwen
showing that very large quantities OF
the staple were imported before the
mi erect of the Order in Council was
felt, but it is stated that since APEli
imports have been restricted to the
normal quantities imported before the
war Thus. says the statement, the
imports Of the whole year Of 1919 we're
