WASHINGTON, September Io.-While
the American government awaited de-
velopments to-day following Secretary
LansinE's disclosures regarding the
transmission of Official German dis
patches by the Swedish charge at Bue-
nos Aires Washington officials and for
eiGn diplomatists turned their atten-
ton to a study of their possible sig
nificancc.
Two facts stood out clearly to mos,
observers. Sweden will be compelled
to make definite her position as neu-
trail. and the exposure may be taken
ton of the allies to see that Germany
shall cease receiving aid from all the
Northern European neutral countries.
Publication OF the facts, although
disclosing nothing the government s
exports administrative board has not
known for some time. reveals to the
public that this government LIS fully
coSnizant of aid Sweden has been rem
derinE the ceutrai powers. and tends
to cement opinion ia supper. OF abso-
Lutte embargo put into effect against
Sweden, along with the other neutrals,
six weeks ago. 1t has already been
declared definitely that no foodstuffs OF
other supplies will be permitted to go
to the neutrals for at least six weeks,
to give this government an opportunity
to establish precisely sthslr- trade rela-
tions with Germany.
SWEDISH IRON EXPORTS

export to Germany any commodities

American officials say the war would

iron exports to Germany were stopped.

Another phase OF the situation being
given careful attention here is the pos-
sible effect If Argentina breaks rela-
tions with Germany or declares war.
Argentina this winter Will have large
quantities OF wheat for export, and as
neutral she might send much OF II
10 the European neutrals under tho op-
Grafton OF The British blockade. AS a
bclliGcrent or with diplomatic rela-
tions broken, the government probably
would take control of its exports and
carefully supervise all shipments to the
neutrals TO prevent any foodstuTs from
