Sweden Rushes All-O Out Defenses: Army To Be Increased By 50 Pct.

part of defense expenditures prob- ably will be covered by current rev. enues and no further increase in the national debt will be necessary provided the international situation does not change for the worse.
 Present armaments, however, will lead to q total national debt oi about Sl66 per capital. Skold be- lieves this burden can be borne by Sweden without serious dificulties
 Costs for Sweden,s defense pre- paredness have reached their peak and in the opinion of military ob- servers will decline gradually. This Is due to the fact that the entire male population of conscript age Is about to be satisfactorily train- ed. In the next fiscal year all hith- erto untrained reserves will be fully trained.
 Due to the foresight of Swedish military leaders, all necessary equipment for the army has been acquired. The nations primary task therefore is two-fold. First, train new classes of men, and second, maintain and modernize war ma terial.
 Called Real Politik"
 The swedes want to stay out of this war. That present policy, which primarily is based on the current principle of real politik."
 This unanimous desire to remain aloof from the war, however, does not find Sweden mapping. Along side It's military preparedness, Is Q continual campaign educating the civil population how to act during eventual enemy attacks from the air, land or sea. Cities are dotted with public and private air shelters and volunteer ARP squads may be seen training with imaginary fires originating from hypothetical in. cendiary and explosive incursions.
 Despite all this military prepared ness, however, Q growing distrust in the supreme command of the country's defense forces has been noted in the Swedish press. This criticism of Gen. o. G. Thornell, Sweden's supreme commander, Is

Stockholm, May i4.-(UP)-Swe- den'S main issue today is the growth of It's military strnegth
 The lot of small neutral nations in Q Europe ct war is extremely pre-. carious and about a score of mlli. tary experts and observers agree that Sweden's decision to be mili- tarily strong was 6 wise one.
 In Q speech at GrangeSberg TO. gently in connection with Q meet. ing to promote Q defense loan Minister Of Defense P. E. Skold stated that during the first six months of lo40 when the interests of the belligerent great powers cut across Swedish territory, the pri- mary task of Sweden's defenses was to keep the country's military re- sources available for immediate use.
 After that time, the minister added, the direct defense prepared ness had been reduced and the growth of the military strength had become the main issue.
 Stress on Infantry
 Sweden's present efforts are to increase the quantitative strength of the army by 50 per cent of which most is to 90 to the infantry. A cor- responding increase also is planned for the navy and coast artillery. The air force Is to be doubled but the qualitative improvement will be far greater.
 Energetic work is being done every day to strengthen sweden's military resources, but at the same time the country Is prepared at any moment to make the direct prepar- edness the primary issue again.
 For the three fiscal years from July 1, 1889, to June 30 l942, Swe- den's defense preparedness is esti- mated to cost approximately 2,300,- 100000 crowns In current expendi- lures and 3,000000,000 crowns in non recurring expenditures. (The crown currently Is S0.2386). Of the total, between and 2 billion is being covered by current revenues. while the balance has to be covered by loans.

never outspoken but can be read between the lines in many connec- tons.
 Press Shows UneaSiness
 The recent removal of General Rappe from his post as chief of the defense staff despite his generally recognized qualifications for that past, was interpreted in many nsws- papers as resulting from dissension between him and the supreme com- mander. There Is c marked uneasi. ness about what Is actually taking place behind the scenes in the high est military circles.
 Svanska Dagbladet on Feb. i2, made an indirect attack on the su- preme command In leading or. ticle in praise of Gen. Henri Qui- san, the Swiss supreme commander. Qulsan's frank and firm policy and general appearance" according to this newspaper, was an example of how Q true military leader of Q f,eu. tral country should act and behave to Inspire confidence and ulnshaiS. able defensive spirit among the peo. pie. The article concluded with the following suggestive address to the Swedish supreme commando:
 ITO the military Inandrines who from the great Moltke have only copied the air of sullen silence, the Swiss supreme commander may ap- pear as a suspect and dislikeablc figure who entertains relations with scrlbblegs and publicists and thus with the entire people"
 Paper Attacks Commander
 Tn commenting on an article by Major Richard Alderman on the greatly deteriorating effect on swe. den's strategical position caused by the events in the North in the past year, Svenska Dagbladet attacked Gen. Thornell again.
 The article in question concluded with the assurance that although Sweden's position had become greatly unfavorable, 1t was not hopeless but 1t demanded a of the defenses to the very limit of Sweden's ability.
 svenske Dagbladet added:
 "This applies to both personal and material preparedness but also to the problem Of the supreme coEn- mand of the defensive forces"

But MT. Roosevelt and Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval op. erations, revealed the extended op. eration in April. It Is believed that was the first full month in which that new technique was directed against the German blockade.
 Favorable returns from the patrol system apparently explain Secretary of Navy Frank Knox sctatement here night before last that some new defense other than conveys may be the solution of the Atlantic prob- lem. It is understood that the patrol system augmented further by air. plane endorsements --- perhaps by use of one or more airplane carriers In the patrol Aeet-may suffice to minimize German efforts in the At- lantic.
 Naxis Say Combat Zone
 But a new problem arose with the official announcement from Berlin that the Red sea has been declared combat zone and any vessels op- erating there would be liable to destruction by mines or other war means" MT. Roosevelt last month rescinded his order which had closed the Red sea to American vessels.
 Germany's designation is not ex. pected to cause Mir. Roosevelt to close the sea again to American shipping. He said last month that he had no knowledge of the Ger man defined combat zone around Great Britain. And he is not likely now to recognize that affecting the Red sea unless Germany is able to achieve air or surface mastery there --an objective they have not at- tained in the opinion of diplomats here.

States ships by President RooSevel and now declared Q combat zone b. Germany coincided with effort here to speed up the program fo aiding the British shipping situa ton.
 Reliable sources reported tha American oil shipments for Britain soon may be routed directly tntt the Canadian Port of Halifax, N. s. instead of being transferred to British ships at New York anc Philadelphia.
 Great Lakes shipbuilders and mar. itime commission officials meet to- day to discuss the use of lakes cons struction facilities in the emergency shipping program. Ships as large as 450 feet and 5000 to 10000 tons would be put to sea by sending them to the Gulf of Mexico through the Illinois River Canal and the Mississippi River.
 10 Ships More
 fntercoastal shipping operators are working out details for transfer oi at least 70 of their l0e ships to the Presidents requested 100000 ton shipping pool for immediate British service.
 The ship bill which the Senate considers today would permit presi- dent Roosevelt to esquire e3 Idle for eign vessels, including those Of German and Italian registry, in American ports. Senator Charles w. Tobey, Republican, N. H., told the United Press he still intends to offer an amendment to 1t forbid ding assignment of the navy to con- voy duty.
 Senators Arthur II. Vandenberg, R., Mich, and Bennett c. Clark, D., Mo, said they would offer an amendment to prevent transfer of seized foreign ships to belligerents. The administration beat that amendment in committee and Is confident 1t can beat 1t on the floor.
 There is no discernible hope for the Tobey ariti-convoy amendment. The bill is sure to pass, probably in the form desired by MT. Roosevelt. But the convoy debate-flrst formal opportunity for Congress to pass on the question-may take several days.
 Easing Convoy Dispute
 The opening of debate followed what appeared here to be 6 material easirg of the whole convoy ques- ton. London reported yesterday that the battle of the Atlantic was going more favorably for the Brit. ash. The official announcement was that loss of merchant ships was less in April than in any previous month of the German blockade. Highest loses were in March.
 This contrast between March and April seemed to accord & tremen- dous degree of success to MT. Roose- veits extended Atlantic patrol which on It's face is c device to help the British protect their munitions car. goes without actually undertaking . convoy job. The precise date upon which the administration ordered American naval vessels to keep tab on German raiders at least 2,000 miles off our shores is not known.
