tions. The principal plank in their
platform is disarmament.

who, under the red flag. are just as
imperialistic as they were under the
banner of the Romanovs. We must
strengthen our national defenses in
order not to invite attack from the
East"
Socialists Fot Fearful.
The Socialists pooh pooh these con-
tentions. They assert that Russia
has no desire for war, and that even
If she had she is in no condition, and
will not be for many years to come, to
a wanton waste to spend the Swedish
Besides, the Socialists argue, with the
methods and means of warfare chang
ing from month to month, it would be
q wantom waste to spend the Swedish
peoples money on fresh armaments.
The recent visit of a large part of
the Swedish fleet to all the important
Germany, was said in many quarters
to have been a gesture to show Rus
Sia that Sweden rules the Baltic
wave.' Neither Russia's nor Ger
many's naval force can compare with
Sweden's since the war In the opin-
ion of the opponents of disarmament,
Evening star., 1924-09-14

surrendering this advantage would
amount to sheer madness.
Undoubtedly Russia has the largest
air force in this part Of Europe-a
fact which the militarists emphasize
in their campaign for more money for
armaments. The Socialists counter
with the suggestion that Sweden fol-
low the plan now under consideration
in Denmark and disband her army
and navy altogether, 'since Russia,
with her vast resources and her in
finitely larger territory and popula-
tion, can always keep several jumps
ahead of us in armaments."
Cite UnprOvOkcd Attack.
The Socialists crowning contention
is that in~case of an unjustif1ed at
tack by Russia, Sweden would re-
ceive the assistance of the great
powers that can afford to maintain
huge armies, navies and air fleets.
AS a matter Of fact. there are few
Swedes who really believe that at any
time since the Bolshevist revolution
in Russia has there existed any dan
ger of an attack by Russia. There
are no more who believe that the
Russian leaders are even remotely
thinking Of invading Sweden except
with their subtle red propaganda,
which so far has turned out to be
"dud." Only the professional jingo-
lists, of whom in proportion there are
as many in Sweden as in any other
country, delight in painting pictures

Police Have Own Newspaper.

The Scotland Yard police and detec-

The paper publishes all the news

pictures that enable them to apprehend
offenders. Within a few hours after
an offense has been committed police
