STOCKHOLM, Oct. 20.-Rumors
of German demands led diplomatic
observers to express belief today that
the northern countries would be
dangerously optimistic if they as
sumed that Adolf Hitler would let
Soviet Russia issue all the invi-
tations in the Baltic.
A sour witticism in Stockholm just
new, in the wake of the conference
of rulers of Sweden. Norway, Dem
mark and the President of Finland.
was I'VE shall soon know whether
we Swedes are Germans or Rus
sians."
The conference ended yesterday
with a joint statement of the four
nations unity, but no specific men,
tion was made of the Russian de-
mands on Finland which prompted
Sweden's King Gustaf to call the
meeting.
Indications are that the strug-
gle to preserve northern neutrality
and national integrity has just be-
gun.
The rumors of possible German
demands on Norway, Denmark and
Sweden were not confirmed, but
aloofness of official Berlin to the
fate of Finland led to speculation.
Aided by Germans.
The Swedes, Danes and NorWe-
gians, as we'll as Firms, remember
that Finland's independence was
won in 1918 with the help of Ger
man troops and that German gov
ernments, including that of Hitler,
have looked with almost parental
pride on Finland.
If Hitler now should give Rus
sia free hand in Finland they won-
dered how much restraint he him.
self might exercise toward other
northern countries.
Great stress was laid on the non-
military nature of the Stockholm
conference Indeed, it is doubtful if
Stockholm's streets have often seen
so few military uniforms as during
tne past TWO days.
An afternoon paper, however, car
ried more than two pages of ad-
vertisements for air raid shelters,
gas masks and similar equipment
and soon after Kings Haakon of
Norway and Christian of Denmark
left for home, reserve troops en-
route to posts Of duty gathered in
the same railway ntation.

conference yesterday:
"The Kings of Denmark and Ice
land, Norway and Sweden, together
with the President of Finland, have,
together with their foreign secre-
taries, been united at a meeting IN
Stockholm on october 1919.
"At the meeting they discussed
first the general position seen in
the point of view of each country.
difficulties which under present Sc
