SWEDENFORECASTS
COMPLETE RECOVERY
FROM DEPRESSION
Foreign Office Fears COmpe-
titiOn of Countries With
Low Exchange

Stockholm. June 10-(By The Asso.
ciated Press).-Sweden's complete flu.
ture recovery from a series of painful
operations for post war ills is forecast
in the official economic report of the
Swedish foreign office commerce de-
partment just made public. Its princi-
pal note of optimism is the Swedish
exchange. After a year and a half OF
deflation and international liquidation
still under way, the Swedish krona is
virtually at par.
The government experts find that the
greatest obstacles to economic recoy-
cry lie in the competition of countries
with deprecated currency and in the
fact that wages have not yet been suf-
ficiently reduced. Countries with low
exchange can dump goods in Sweden at
prices against which Swedish manufac-
turers cannot compete. Likewise, in
the foreign markets, Sweden is severe
ly handicapped because of her high ex-
change rate.
Tendency Toward Revival
The report states that there is a
strong tendency toward revival in MANY
lines of industry but that the natural
process of building up is delayed by
unsettled conditions in central and
eastern Europe. the monetary troubles
and the u~ncompleted process of wage
adjustment.
The foreign office finds that during
the second half of 1921 and the first
quarter of this year there was observed
a slight increase in the activities of
Sweden's basic industries accompanied
by expansion in foreign trade. espe-
cially In timber, pulp and paper.
Although great interest has been
shown in an early return to the gold
standard, the foreign office reports
that doubts have been expressed of the
wisdom of adopting the American dol
lar as basis OF parity, as suggested by
financial experts.
Bank Savings Drop
Bank savings and deposits show a
marked drop during the first quarter
of the year. This is attributed to con-
sumption of capital during the period
of depression.
Never has the stock exchange wit
messed such drop in values of stocks.
the market having been affected, saws
the report, by the heavy losses suf-
fered by industrial corporations and
non-activity of others.
Sweden is still suffering from a buy
ers' strike. which accompanied the
price leFei ana most industries
are working on a scale of one-third to
capacity.
Employment Increasing
The signs of Improvement in unem-
ployment are weak. However, the
number of unemployed is going down.
There were 1884, 700 jobless on Janu-
ary 81 and only $4,000 idle at the
lose of February and unemployment
continues to decrease. OF these more
han $1,000 were receiving government
lid.
The report emphasizes that although
arge cuts in wage scales have been
made, real wages-that is a COM
with cost of liying--are still
lbove pre-war standard and must be
owered further. This is held to be
likely in view of the cuts in the United

Turkish Students
Demand Resignation
of Treaty Signer

Constantinople, June 1O-(By The
Associated Press).-Four professors
have resigned from the University of
Stamboul at the demand of the stu
dents on the ground hat they were
strangers to the sentiments of indie
pendence, nationality and sacred
rights"
Ria Tewfik Bey, professor of phil
osophy who was one of the signers of
the peace treaty of Sevres, also was
requested to resign but did not do so.
The peace treaty of Sevres aroused
the opposition of Turkish n~ationalists
on the ground that it took away Turk
ish territory and resulted in placing
the sultan under the domination of the
allies. 1t was recently revised at a
conference in Paris but the revision
has not been accepted or put into eff

1HiS was the last time he was seen
in public, but behind the scenes he has
worked harder than ever. for never was
a party so torn by fierce quarrels.
Nobody knew this outside and the
grandiloquent world judges at Genoa
did not realize on what a volcanic
foundation the Russian delegations
stood. Though P~etrograd, ruled blum
deringly by Simoneff, was threatening
secession and riotous secret meetings
were held almost nightly in Moscow
among those planning revolt against
the soviet policy of compromise with
capitalism concessions. etc. this fury
was restrained by one magic word

and loved him, even the opponents of
his new policy.

Vladimir Llynitch Ulianoff, called
Lenin in political and literary life. was

what ome after him. Nobody can
replace him. Marks doctrine of econo-
mic determination mocking person
atty falls down here and shows what
one mans leadership is worth in
stormy times. Trotsky. with his steel
will and abundant intelligence. was the
organizer of Red army. Menshavik,
before the war was disputatious, obsti-
nate and capricious and sometimes has
been accused of inclining to the grand
dukes standard of living.
Litvinoff Vrassin. Simenoff. and
Radek are not of the highest type of
Russian. All lack the hundredth part
of Lenin's art of ruling. The latter
alone could dare give peasants 80
per cent of the sO-called n~ationalized
property; abandon communism's out
ward signs; reopen money circulation
for private trade banks and the stock
exchange: seize church treasures, even
convoke the resisting priests including
the honored Patriarch Tychon before
a revolutionary tribunal. He alone
could be forgiven before radicals for
granting concessions to the foreign
prOfiteers, exploiters of the p%roletariat
who must be Inundated and enslaved,

absolute.
Yet today Poincare issues hints, if
not orders, which induce Dubois his
representative to dissent from his col
legues. If anything was needed to
clinch Frances isolation this incident
would supply it. Poincare's critics
agree he acted logically but unwisely
in not agreeing with the others at
least to listen to what proposals the
bankers had to make, since it was
expressly stipulated the reparations
commission would not be bound to
adopt them. AS it is France has serv-
ed advance notice that she won't en-
terrain any such proposals while the
majority Of the commission have said
they will.
This is the most threatening thing
that has happened to the entente since
the armistice. 1t brings to a sharp
point the whole question whether
France shall continue as a .dominat-
ing European power or succumb to
majority rule.
The only choice left for Poincare
seems to be between emphasizing the
national isolation by acting alone in a
military move or making a clever COM
promise a la BRAND. His every in
.clination is to avoid the former and
/ believe yet the latter step seems to
be one of political suicide.
