Swedish Premier
Says Nation Will
Remain Neutral

81 OCkHOLM, March 21.-Premier
tden, speaking yesterday at Henkoep-
ing on the new and grave problems
facing Sweden through the complete
Transformation of the situation in the
Baltic, declared the government would
maintain policy of unshakable neu-
trality.
" tn reference to Finland and the
Aiand Islands question, the Premier said
the Finnish government had repeated
~ requested arms and ammunition
from Sweden and Swedish military in
tervention in the civil war. Sweden
had been obliged to refuse the request,
he explained. to avoid being dragged
into the war
The request for Intervention. con-
tinued the Premier, was made simul-
taneously to Sweden and to Germany.
Germany responded to the call and
would not allow herself to be dis
placed. Sweden might have pursued
the same policy had she chosen to
participate in such a dangerous game,
he added.
to secure million tons of goods from
Great Britain against a transfer of
tonnage, and said that Sweden must
limit that transfer as much as posi-
bic and safeguard sufficient tonnage for
her own imports and exports.
1--WE have been unable to prevent the
great change in the balance of power
in the Baltic" continued the Premier,
land we desire to maintain the most
friendly relations with Germany. who
now dominates this sea, while at the
same time safeguarding our indepen-
dence. a close understanding between
Sweden, Norway and Denmark has be-
come Of more vital Importance than
ever
+ Sweden, however, cannot concen
trate herself solely upon her Baltic
interests. Never was it more impera-
tive to keep an open door to the west.
Only so can we and our neighbors
safeguard in common the free and in
| dependent position Of Scandinavia"

SUGAR "A NATIONAL TXTRAVA-

If we have a national sweet tooth,
as Mr.. Hoover accuses us OF having

Should we fill it with 80 pounds OF
sugar per person each year when the
Italians dave only 8 pounds, the
French 13 and the English &c?
If these nations are getting along
with no detriment to health with this
decrease in their sugar rations, and
If they are doing all the fighting on
enormously decreased sugar rations,
isn't it pretty positive proof that we
are consuming many pounds Of sugar
more than we need just because we
arc selfindulgent spoiled lot OF
people?
Ono fact very few of us realize
that by cutting out the extra spoon,

household that helps the allies.
