Sweden Comes Around


or all the neutral countries to-day save
" Mexico. Sweden has been most pro-
German. AS long as that nation remained in
the grip Of the Conservative party, it was a
nominal, il not actual, ally Of Germany.
IT allowed Germany to prostitute it's diplo-
matte service. 1t allowed Germany to enter
its markets freely. 1t purchased goods
abroad and resold them at a profit to the
German government. 1t maintained con-
slant intercourse with German interests, and
a large part Of its merchant marine defed
the allied blockade in effort to maintain
trade relationship with our enemy.
The great body Of the Swedish people soon
found that they were dealing with false
friend They found that German U-boats
we're sinking their vessels with the same
ruthessness that belligerent merchantmen
were sunk. They found that Germany was
eager to absorb whatever Sweden had to give.
but had nothing but promises to pay to offer
In return The Swedish people found, more
over, that their food stores were running
dangerously short. Their supply Of certain
raw materials was exhausted. and their only
hope of keeping hunger away and OF saving
their economic structure lay in a closer re-
lationship with the allies.
Thereupon the Conservative party was

the government through popular verdict. A
swift and radical change of national policy
took place. friendly trade mission was
sent to America. This mission was authorized
to make treaty with the United States, with
out regard for German threats, German in
timidaton German brutality. This mis-
sion frankly informed the American govern
ment that Sweden wanted food, oils, rubber,
cotton copper and other materials. Just AS
frankly the American government informed
the Swedes that wanted ships and that
Great British needed iron and wood pulp
With this statement of the case, Sweden
and the United States found basis for nego-
tation. Each had something that the other
wanted. The only question was how much
OF the one would have to be paid for the
other. 1t was straight case OF bargai ming
on both sides. fact which the parties to the
negotiation readily recognized. After several
weeks OF conference. the two governments
reached an agreement. The United States is
TO have the use OF 100000 tons of Swedish
shipping. In return, food and raw materials
are TO be delivered to Sweden provided not
one dollars worth OF either is transshipped.
Germany may roar as much as she pleases

her neighbor with dire consequences as she
did Holland when the Dutch government
under the pressure OF necessity dealt upon
similar basis with this country. But Ger
many will not bring about. the abrogation OF
