The first move in the diplomatic buttle between the two countries is apparently won by Sweden, for today she forbade the exportation of wood pulp. This coun- try has been the best source Of sup ply of the material for Great Britain, and cutting off the shipments win be serious blow. The move is taken entirely because of the seizure of parcel post packages addressed to Swedish citizens.

The people as a whole are against the al formative and particularly the labor unions, whose representatives have waited upon the premier and present. e1 him with a memorial asking that martial law be not declared, as the burden of living was already excessive on the workers, and martial law would so raise the cost of food and fuel that serious suffering among the poor was sure to follow The leaders of the labor unions state that the conditions under martial law would be intoler- able. and react against the govern ment.
