SWEDEN EXPECTS
REAL NEUTRALITY
With King at Helm People
Are Breathing Easily,
With War Remote.

STOCKHOLM, June ga The
Swedish people are breathing more
easily now than at any time since the
war began. They arc convinced at
last that their king and their govern
ment are determined TO maintain a
strict and impartial neutrality until
peace shall have been declared and
they are plungng with renewed v!gor
into prosperity unprecedented N the
history of the country
. That Sweden would give up this
PROSPERITY and the happiness which
= has come with it for the perils, the
poverty and the misery of war seemed
uuthinkable to the foreign observer,
but IT cannot be denied that the po-
litical and inter national crisis through
which the country passed the latter
part of Nav brought 1t dangerously
near to the brink of catastrophe. Not
that the people wanted war-far from
it-but the arti-Russian propaganda
carried forward by an influential
group OF politicians known as the
ACtivists attained for a time a mo-
mentum which threatened all the die
tates of neutrality ard was out
spokenly an effort to force Sweden
into war with her traditional enemy
Russia. and thus ally this part or
Scandinavia with the central powers
This Activist movement was de-
nounced by the Socialists and Liberals
in the Swedish parliament as more
pro-German than pro-Swedish' ana

Socialist Leader Brantihg as having
dangerous strong financial back

Sweden carried the campaign at times
to a violent extreme and the bitter
ness cngendered between these papers
and those representing the Liberal
and Socialist elements of the country
may not be effaced for years to come
Conservatives safe.
The Liberals and Socialists frankly
feared for q time that the influential
Activists would win over the support
of the Conservative party, which still
controls the upper house Of parlia-
ment and is supposed 20 more than
held the balance Of power in what is
theoretically a coalition cabinet. But
when the test came. when the situa-
tiOn was at !ts worst. the ConserVa-
tives threw their strength with the
other two parties In determination
to keep Sweden out Of the war at any
cost.
1t so happened that the Activist
campaign, designed to upset the neu-
trolity of Sweden. actually brought
about an agreement among the con-
tending political factions of the
Swedish parliament. which has given
Swedish neutrality a stability and a
standing before the belligerent ma
tons 1t had not enjoyed before. This
