EXPECTED SWEDEN
WILL EXPLAIN FULLY
Y. 8. Minister Demanded and Received
Privileges Similar to Those Allowed
sweden-swedes in England Expect
Exposure to insure Victory For Lib
eraI Socialists and Fall Of Present
Conservative Swedish Government.

London, Sept. 1.-THE following
statement from an authoritative source
was made to the Associated Press to-
day with reference to the revelations
concerning Sweden.
There is no need for any action on
the part Of the allies regarding the
Swedish exposures nor is any action
joint or otherwise, contemplated. The
facts as narrated speak for them
selves.
This is not case OF any quarrel
on the part Of the allies with the Swed-
ish people, but Of individual action by
individual officials, which it is con-
fidently believed will be strongly re-
sented by the Swedish people. There
can be no doubt that Sweden will take
the earliest opportunity to explain hel
position and this, it is hoped, will
clear the air and even lead to bet
ter understanding"
In Swedish circles in London the
view is expressed that the revelations
come just in time to insure a big vic
tory for. the liberB.l socialist blood "
the Swedish elections, which are now
under way and which will continue un-
til Sept. 81. This should be followed
by the fall of the present conservative
government as soon as parliament re.
assemblies in January and its replace
ment> by cabinet headed by Hjalma1
Branting, the socialist leader. J.
Statements to the same effect were
made to the representatives Of both
belligerent groups without there BEING
any question Of Sweden taking owe,
any representation Of any powers in
terests.
Y. s. Held Similar Privileges.

cases, demanded and obtained per-

taken over German interests.
TN the summer of 1915 the wish wal
expressed from tthe British side tha,
the transmission Of kilograms between
Germany and North america should

but notwithstanding this, the foreign
minister acceded to the wish. TIT
