Sweden's Competition In
Postwar Shipping
Very Limited

STOCKHOLM, November 30.
by wireless) - If treated as an
equal, Sweden is ready to discuss
its contributions to postwar inter-
national shipping, Stockholms-Tid-
ningen wrote on November %.
pointing out that Sweden's mer-
chant fleet of barely 10000
gross tons is insufficient for the
country'S own needs. Therefore,
Sweden cannot be suspected of Of
fering unlimited competition
against, for instance the 10000
900 American gross tons. Before
the war, the paper observed, only
II per cent of Swedish tonnage
was employed in international
trade.
