policy of England, and it's actions against smaller nations, shall be plac- ed in juxtaposition to the theory of English democracy This pamphlet should deal with internal conditions in Russia and Poland and should show the relation of our Social Democrats to the Fatherland. Through reviews in the press this pamphlet could be given great publicity throughout the country.
 ''The Swedish-Russian question must of course play an important part in the propaganda. A Russian news bu- req with Swedish name should at once be started in Stockholm because Russian questions now are given only small space in the newspapers. have the proper men in mind for the collec- Ition and handling of this material A lIeSinning has been made for spread ing this propaganda by John Lonne- gren, 0 Swedish winter, in work called Russia and the European War; based upon the German work of Dr. Paul Kohrbach. In this publication the principle has been followed of giv- ing it the character of Swedish work, putting on the ,ra,1e of a Swedish au- thor and issuing it from printing haIse above the suspicion of being in the pay of Germany.
 The only thing lacking to put through a big plan in Sweden is ini- tiative and systematic work. One of the main things is Sreatment of the questions between Sweden and Eng land. We must convince Sewden that her position is going to be rendered more and more difficult by England. If 8 little money is spent whole lot can be done along this line by clever i propaganda. We must adopt the policy of arranging lectures upon os- tensibly cultural subjects in order to present the righteous cause and objects of the Central Powers in the proper light. The main causes of Entente sympathy in Sweden, I find, are as follows:
 1.-The publication in Germany of annexation of territory plans. l "2-The supposed over-development ! of German militarism.
 T3-The violation of Belgium neu- trality.
 "+The U-boat war (Lusitania.) | "5-The assertion of Entente friends that Germany alone was preparing to bring about the war.
 f"6-The publication here of articles asserting the danger of German inn perialism which would reduce Sweden to vassal state of the Empire. l 'In our propaganda especial atten- tion must be given to these points. The various subjects should be dealt with in quieting and reassuring articles and pamphlets. The objects of high ideals of military system are not understood in a ch hnII1d hn |violation of Greek neutrality by the Entente with the violation of Belgium neutrality We must compare the U- boat war with the English sea policy. All that favors us must be properly presented"
 The report deals with Sweden's growing export trade, the establish ment of direct lines of steamers to America and to England, and the great increase of business with Russia, as one of the great obstacles in the way of inducing the people into un- ion with Germany, especially as they have discovered they can carry on trade independently of Hamburg. The report refers to the good pro- paganda work of the anonymous pro- German pamphlet entitled: "Sweden's Foreign Policy in the Light of the World War;" and recommends that a German edition be printed for circula- tion in the Empire.
 "The German papers,, the report adds, should be given strict instruc- tions as to how they shall review the work in order that a proper reflective effect may be had in Sweden. They must be. told not to go too far, but shall gently hint that Sweden's stand ing apart from Germany is sincerely regretted and that it cannot help but engender. a slight feeling of coolness on the part of the friendly German people.
 Judging from the mood of Sweden the past ten months it easily is con- cluded that she does not wish to break either with England or with Germany. am told that Sweden might more cas- fly be carried along if Germany were in real danger and asked the brother hood-in-arms of the Swedish people. But to arouse. the people under exist ing circumstances systematic work is necessary. The political money spenders in Sweden exhausted their re- sources last year in the defence agita- tion, so respectfully recommend that Your Excellency make an appropria-
 
 make a proper beginning. The pro- paganda should not be confined solely to German interests, but should take advantage Of the friendly feeling here toward Austr,a, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey and deal with the relation ship to Sweden. Therefore I suggest that the goverrpents of these coun- tries should be asked to share the ex- penses- Briefly summarized the pro paganda should be along these lines:
 1.-The establishment of new po- litica1 group, which, after a proper building up of public opinion, shall throw it's influence toward a marked pro German policy.
 "2-The publication of pamphlet attacking the Swedish Socialist Dem ocrats, cost 10000 marks.
