I LEADER . j
STATES POSITION!
s. **■«>»,<* w.
In a recent interview, Hjalmar
Branting, the Swedish Socialist
leader, discussed the position of
Sweden, and the Socialist opposi
tion to the war element:
"If the English-Swedish trade
negotiations fall through, and at
the same time trouble should arise
in Finland the situation produced
by these two misfortunes would be
an alarming one. It would then
be impossible to restrain the pro
German element of this country
from rushing into war. This ele
ment is numerically small but it is
powerful beyond its numbers. We
must not ignore the possibility of
such a catastrophe, and I cannot
help viewing the situation with
grave apprehension.
"i still have hope that the diffi
culty with England will be satis
factorily settled, and the possibility
that ihe German opliib interests in
Finland will stir up trouble there
is. i think remote, I do not. there
fore. consider this prospect of war
particularly tliraetening at the pre
sent time, but it is distinctly with
in the range of possibilities.

party in Sweden stands almost un
animously for peace. A few days

“I cannot help feeling that our
misunderstanding with England,
might have been settled some time
ago, if it had not been for the fact
that the Swedish members of the
commission have been a little too
theoretical in their views. The
English members have presented
a practical issue to our traditional
rights as a:i independent nation.
“We have argued that Sweden
had a right, to carry on an uninter
rupted trade with another neutral
countiy like America. Of course,
in theory, Sweden has such a right,
but some of us are forgetting tliat
this is not an ordinary situation
which would hold in times of
peace. England is plainly interfer
ing with our sovereign rights, but
so is Germany, and if we are to
take action against every nation
that has in this war committed of
fence against Sweden, we must
fight the whole world. We have
protested pgainst England’s inter
ference with our imports, and that
is as far as we should go. I am
sure that the Swedish point of
view in the whole matter has been
too narrow.
"The Swedish Government lias
played absolutely square 8n the
question of tile transit of supplies
to the A.llies and Germany. Sweden
has held firmiy to the strictly neu
tral position.
The trouble has come through
the illicit commerce, which has
got e on between this country and
Germany—trade forbidden by the
government and which the govern
i ment has done all in its power to
; prevent. Bui by means of falsified
certificates, and the other subter

fuges commonly used, Swedish
traders have done a tremendous
secret business with Germany.
"I don’t mean to say that our
Swedish traders are either more or
less honest than those of other na
tions, but there arc enough dis
honest traders everywhere, who
yield to the temptation of great
profits held out to them. Most peo
ple do not realize how great this
illigal business has been. 1 do not

“'Concerning the war talk which J
one hears so much nowadays, the Jj
war element docs not represent the 9
nation. Not even the conservative u
party itself wants war. I have re- rt
cently spoken with the premier, and jj
the foreing minister, and they are §
both inclined to discountenance □
the work of the extreme activist, g
who iiave been spreading war pro- 9

strike against Russia, taking ad- jj
vantages of Russia’s misfortunes jj
and forgetting that we would have I jj
