EXPORTS AND IMPORTS OF SWEDEN SHOW
A REMARKABLE GAIN SINCE WAR BEGAfl
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 5—Figures showing the exact in
crease in Swedish imports and exports since the beginning ol
the war upholding the English contention that Sweden has
acted ns valuable channel for the delivery’ of materials to Ger
many, have been obtained by a correspondent of the Associated
Press. According to these statistics, which are as yet unpub
lished, and now available for the first time, Sweden’s cotton im
ports during the first six months of 1915 were over nine time*
as large as her cotton imports during the corresponding month*
of the previous year. From January to June, 1914, Sweden
imported 12,957,890 kilos of cotton. During the equivalent
period this year, the impend was risen to 109,926,051 kilos.
While Sweden exported only 856,689 kilos of copper during
the six months before the war began, she exported during the
next six months 2,852,568 kilos. The figures given do not tell
what portion of this export has gone to Germany and what
portion elsewhere, but it is generally agreed that it has been
sent almost exclusively to Germany. Figures regarding other
exports are not now available.
HONG KONG NEWSPAPERS ARE OPPOSED
MONARCHCAL GOVERNMENT FOR CHINA
—
HONG KOXG, China, t'Nov. 5—Hong Kong papers are
pessimistic in their discussion of the proposed change of the
Chinese Republic into a constitutional monarchy, as suggested
by the Peace Preservation Society.
The South China Press says: “Tt should be time enough,
five years hence, when the republican system has had a fair
trial, to discuss such a dangerous topic. It is fully realized that
the reforms promised by the new administration have made
slow progress. It could not be otherwise. This has been due
more to the feeling of the inscurity following a period of strife,
to the magnitude of the reforms themselves and’ to the
ignorance of the masses than to >uiy fault of the president and
his loyal adherents in office.”
