The Facts SPEAK.

LONDON, Sept. 10 - The following
statement from an authoritative source
was made to tho Associated Press to
day with reference to the revelations
concerning Sweden:
There is no need for any action on
the part of tho allies regarding the
Swedish exposures. nor Is any action.
joint or otherwise. contemplated. The
facts as narrated speak for themselves.
This is not a case of any quarrel on
the part of the allies with the Swedish
people, but Of individual action by ndi-
vidual officials. which. it is confidently
believed. will be strongly resented by
the Swedish people.
There can be no doubt that Sweden
will take the earliest opportunity TO
explain her position. and this. 1t is
hoped will clear the air and even lead
to better understanding.
TT Is we'll known that there is a
small militarist group in Sweden which
might possibly approve of such behavior
AS has now come to light. but 1t is con-
fidenuy expected that the bulk of the
Swedish people will share the view Of
the world at large regarding the har-
harous intrlgues Of Germany. Tcle-
grams from Bucnos Aires show thar tho
disclosures have caused great excite
ment. and, In the view Of the leading
politicians. serious action by the ArEcn-
tine government will become necessary"
In Swedish circles In London the view
Is expressed that the revelations come
just in time to insure big victory for
the Liberal Socialist bloc i'm the Swedish
elections. which are now under way and
which will continue until September II.
This should he followed by the fail of
the present Conservative government Us
