permanent peace tribunal In session
here will get in Sweden all the help
Sweden can give. This aid will not be
official. but undoubtedly 1t will come
from certain official as we'll as unofn-
cial sources.
The Swedes being pro-German ana
convinced Germany wants peace. would
like to see the Ford movement succeed
though the best-informed Swedes do not
believe it has any chance. Their SYM
pathies make them lend 1t aid; their
skepticism prevents official approval OF
the movement
Incidentally, Stockholm is friendly to
the tribunal, because 1t is spending APP
proximately $4,000 weekly there.
Except that they have delegates pres
ent who are we'll paid and supported In
handsome style. Norway and Denmark
regard the tribunal with strong dis
favor.
The Dutch are afraid the movement
may do actual harm.
Switzerland and Spain have never
been heard from.
With Fords money TO support II, indi-
cations are that the tribunal may linger
in Stockholm indefinitely. Stockholm
hopes, for financial reasons, that /. may
do so, but nobody has any idea that II
will accomplish anything.
