SWEDEN SUFFERS
: FROM THE SHORTAGE
OF MONEY, REPORT

Stockholm, Oct. s.-sweden is, suf-
fering from a scarcity of money and
an abnormal economic situation. This
is reflected in the report Of the state
bank for September.
The money shortage depresses the
stock exchange where prices of bonds
and shares have touched a very low
level, even old established industrial
enterprises which pay dividends Of 10
to 18 per cent being quoted below par.
Causes to which Sweden's unsettled
condition is attributed here include the
socialist program, emanating from the
present government, such as the in
vestigation whether specialization of
industry and commerce lies within the
borders Of possibility, heavy taxation,
an increasing demand for higher wag-
es and the labor unrest.
Adding to this the growing debts to
foreign countries through unnecessary
imports. and decreased production as
cribed by many to the eight-hour day,
one obtains a picture Of the present
economic position of Sweden.

run the risk of losing their jobs.
