SWEDEN WILLING
TO MAKE AMENDS
FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS NO
MORE GERMAN MESSAGES
WILL BE TRANSMITTED.

Stockholm. Sweden realizes the Sc
robustness of the situation created by
the recent disclosures at Washington
regarding the transmission of Ger
man dispatches and expects to take
all steps possible to put matters right,
Foreign Minister Lindman told the
Associated Press during an informal
talk. All transmission of German dis
patches had been stopped, he said,
and Germany had been asked for an
explanation of the abuse OF the privi-
lege formerly extended.
In the course of his discussion of
the affair with the correspondent Ad-
lowing points:
First-That the Swedish govern
ment was not, as alleged in certain
quarters, taking the affair lightly, but
on the contrary realizes fully the Sc
rious aspect of the situation and in
tended to do everything possible to
settle the problem.
Second-That transmission of dis
patches on behalf of Germany had
been stopped absolutely from the mo-
ment when the disclosures were
brought to the foreign minister's at
tention and would under no circum-
stances be resumed
Third-That had the Swedish gov
eminent had the slightest idea of the
nature of the dispatches which the
Cerman Government was Transmitting
the messages would never have been
transmitted.
Fourth-That strong representa-
lions had been addressed to the Ger
man government on the abuse made
of this practice, accompanied by re-
quest for explanation to which, how
ever, no reply had yet been received,
