unpleasant for them next year If they

Isn't it strange how some can
didates try to ;nislead the people
in regard to their strength? We
sometimes wonder if they really
believe what they try to lead
others to believe. They are
not sincere and they make

people. Beware Of the man who
tries to mislead you! If he mis-
leads you before the election, what

NEUTRAL ALLIANCE
State Department Officials In
{ dlcate Sweden's Suggestion
| viii Be Rejected.

This Government will not take part
In any combination of neutrals for
the maintenance OF neutral rights.
This was the view expressed by
State Department. officials today in
commenting on an interview of the
Swedish prime minister, DR.. Ham,
marskjold, given out at Stockholm. in
which no urges the idea that this
country should collaborate with other
neutrals in protecting neutral rights.
In the course of the interview. he
makes II clear Sweden objects strong
~ to the blacklist.
Officials say that this Government
ever since the war started, has been
urged to enter into combination with
other neutrals. It has not done so and
VIII not do so. In this respect. IL is
trying to keep clear of alliances that
might prove entangling.
In this connection. II Is pointed out
that Sweden has taken vigorous meas
ures to protect her own neutral inter-
ests.
1t is denied by the prime minister
that she has any purpose except TO do
that and asserted she will keep out
OF the war. Copies of the correspond
ence between the English government
and the Swedish government over mail
seizure have been received here. They
reveal that this correspondence was
decidedly peppery, and that Sweden in
sisted vigorously on her rights.
