Hard Pressure On Sweden

Whatever may be the difficulties of the United
States in preserving neutrality during the European
war, they are as nothing compared to those of the
smaller neutrals-Sweden, for instance.
Sweden is between two fires, German and Russian.
The difficulty is in keeping German Russian
ships from poachng in Swedish waters and carrying off
merchant ships which entitled to the protection Of
the Swedish government while in Swedish waters.
Sweden is small and not very powerful None of the
belligerents cares much for the rights of a small
ton On more than one occasion German destroyers
have dashed into Swedish waters, driven British
Russian ship out beyond the three mile limit and then
taken possession of her prize. Russian warships

varably been released with apologies but without part
of their cargoes Lubricating oil is at premium;
fuel OIL gasoline rubber nickel cotton copper and
most of ALL food These all subject to seizure

sea Sweden is chiefly concerned with the fact that
warShps of the belligerents do not invariably wait
the ship is in open but try take possession
of her, sometimes when lying at anchor within mile
of shore.
This has given the navy of Sweden great deal of
hard work. and on more occasions than Swedish
warshps have been stripped for action believing It

force the recognition of Swedens sovereignty in her
