WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 17.-.- The Swedish government has asked that the United States join with Sweden in making united protest against the British interference with neutral trade.
 The question is now receiving the attention of tho State Depart ment If any such note is presenteu jointly by the powers concerned, it would of course be considered in the nature of an ultimatum.
 s- The main objection of Sweden to the interference Is due to the fact that of late the British blockade has been even more strictly enforced.

War After Conflict Is Practical.

Study of the proceedings of the re-

entente powers has satisfied some Of
ficials here that the proposed CONNER
c;al war-after-the-war, at first viewed
specifically as outlining policies which
could not survive the heat of war or
the operation Of perennial economic
forces, is a practical proposition. Every
indication since the conference has
tended to decrease the feeling that its
provisions could not be carried through.
1t is pointed out that the blacklist,
which had been enforced by England
for some time. has been accepted in
principle by all the allies. The agree
ment for a closer economic unity be-
tween the governments is shown to be
working out through mutual conces-
sions. excluding other countries from
their benefits. though not necessarily
viewed as illegally discriminatory by
the United States so long as confined to
war purposes.
