Sweden's Neutrality
(BY H. S. H.

THE revelation Of Sweden's sympathy with Germany
as exposed BY the transmission Of several decidedly
- bellgerent dispatches from the German charge
daffares in Buenos Aires to the foreign office at Berlin
part of the Swedish diplomatic correspondence from
Argentina, has startled the world. It has shown how
supposed neutral may for time acty aid belligerent
and escape detection.
The explanation Of the Swedish foreign office that the
Swedish minister at BuenOs Aires Of the
character Of the messages through the Swedish ga
ton is unsatisfactory The fact that the messages
In the German diplomatic code IS not mitigating crcum-
stance for It should have been the duty of the Swedish
minister require from Luxburg certified transa-
on of the dispatches be read in confidence of
Luxburg, had he been unwilling furnish such transa-
on could not reasonably have expected the Swedish gov
eminent to grant him the courtesy Of providing transmits
sion for his dispatches.
Luxburg might have lied to the Swedish minister about
the dispatches and probably would have done had the
latter made inquiry to their character but in that
no blame could have attached to Sweden
To all appearances, the Swedish minister granted Lux
burg carte blanche TO send Swedish diplomatic messages
whatever he chose and made inquiry This fact, to-
gether with the nature Of the Luxburg dispatches cons
tutes the part Of the Swedish minister grave breach of
neutrality.
Nor is the Swedish government less culpabe than
representative in Argentina for the offensive dispatches
consigned to the foreign office at Stockholm and
thence redrected to Berlin. The Swedish foreign ministry
ITSELF then, became active participant in the breach Of
neutrality.
The Swedish government by actively assisting these dis
patches in reaching the Berlin foreign office became pary
