DESPOSITORY FOR TERRITORIAL FUNDS.
STOCKHOLM. June 30. — (Forres
pondence of the Associated Press.) —
Stockholm, where wayfarers of all
nations meet and mingle on neutral
ground, but a few hours' journey
from belligerent lands, it Is possible
to learn much that may be credited
as to the views of governments and
peoples concerning the possibilities
and problems of peace. This is par
ticularly true with regard to the Ger
mans and Russians, for at this time
the nationals of those countries make
up by far the larger part of the for
eign population of Scandinavia. Of
ficials and travelers from France and
England are also constantly passing
through Stockholm on their way tc
Petrograd, leaving behind their en
tirely Informal and unofficial ideas as
to what the future holds.
From contact not alone with offi
cials and men of influence fresh from
the warring countriep, but with the
diplomats accredited to the Swedish
capital as well, the correspondent oi
the Associated Press can state that
each government as it contemplates
the terms of peace sees behind any
prospective international negotiations
the far graver problem of squaring
with its own people the menacing ac
count in which a balance must be
struck between benefits won and the
staggering losses of blood and wealth.
What will the “common people" oi
the belligerent countries do and say
if the net result of the years of sac
rifice and fighting is but a re-estab
lishment of the ante-bellum status
quo? Jan any one of the nations at
war satisfy Its people with such an
accounting?
Whenever the prospects of nn early
peace seen) bright, these problems
cloud the skies of hope. The "off!
clal" views as to the conditions of
peace allowed to drift out of Germany.
Austria and the entente countries
have as yet offered no basis of agree
ment which takes into consideration
the settlements to be made "at home"
by both sides. At least that Is the
view taken here in Stockholm.
It is felt here that France occupies
perhaps the least difficult situation
of any of the nations now at war. For
France was invaded, Haris was threat
ened and the army was called into the
field in defense of home and fireside
France, it is said here, can settle on
any honorable terms and there will
be little discontent among tue people.
Out what of Germany? Gan she, it
is asked, give up all the occupied tei
ritory In Europe, return to her own
borders with industries shattered.,
foreign trade to be won all over again
and yet make the people “at home”
feel that their losses and sufferings
were not in vain?
Can Great Britain afford to give
back to Germany all of her colonies
after the sacrifices at Gallipoli, in
East Africa, Mesopotamia and in the
fields and trenches of Flanders and
Western France? Will Germany in
these circumstances have been suffi
ciently "crushed,” and will Great Bri
tain's prestige in the world have been
sufficiently increased to offset the
enormous losses of British lives and
make easy the burdens of the years
to come?
Many theories are discussed here
as to how peace might be accom
plished if it were but a matter of give
and take at the conference table, but
this greatest of all world wars has
wrought such havoc of loss to all en
gaged in it that the mere settlement
on paper is not to be compared wUh
the problem of setting things right
"at home.”
"It is when we get to mat pnaBe oi
the situation that I feel matters are
all but hopeless," said a man of out
standing prominence in the diplomatic
circle of Stockholm. "The war has
gone on and on, accumulating head
way and drawing nation after nation
into its grasp, until I confess I can
not see how the end will come. Who
will take the Initiative for peace? I
am convinced it cannot come from the
outside. It must come from one of the
belligerents, but who of the belliger
ent parties has been so mortally hurt
as to take a defensive position In the
conference by first suggesting or ac
cepting an offer of peace?
"It Is nonsense to say that the na
tions at war do not want peace. But
they all feel there must be some Bort
of decision in their favor. How can
the various governments face their
people with empty hands? There have
been no suggestions thus far that
would mean ‘peace’ at home to all
the countries now engaged In war,
and unless someone can suggest Buch
a peace I for one do not see how there
can be a settlement until there shall
have been a more overwhelming mill
tary advantage than either aide has
, yet gained.”
It Is difficult to find In Stockholm
anyone who believes other than that
the war will eventually end with tier
man troops occupying foreign soil on
every front. This view has even been
expressed here by war correspondents
accredited to entente newsp '.pers, and
who, fresh from the western front.
Tiave passed through Stockholm on
their way lo watch the Russian ram
palgn of the present summer. They
believe that a powerful, concerted
move on all fronts by all the allies
at the same time might develop a
weakness here and there In the Ger
man and Austrian lines which would
give the allies material advantage
But they feel that an attempt to drive
the Germans bark within their own
borders would mean losses not (o he
estimated, even by the standards of
the last few months at Verdun.
There is, of course, to lie considered
the allied hope that, the pressure of
the blockade may bring Germany to
terms. But in the discussion of this
phase of the war here in press and in
official circles a parallel often is
drawn with the American Civil war.
It Is argued that if the Confederate
states, with their poorly equipped
army, lack of outside supplies and in
vaded territory, could withstand thp
northern blockade for four years and
succumb eventually only after over
whelming military reverses, it is dif
ficult to tell how long it would re
quire to conquer Germany by a “star
vation campaign.”
And yet, entirely apart from any
official statements that may emanate
from Berlin, it can be said on the
authority of men recently come from
the German hospital, that Germany
expects to gain nothing from the war.
I
According to no less than three of
these men. whose reception here in
the highest German circles left no
doubt as to their standing. Germany
will be content to exchange the con
quered territory in fra nee and to
evacuate Belgium and Serbia in re
turn for the German colonies over
seas.
"As far as I can see,” said one or
these men, "the total net result of the
war will be the creation of the King
dom of Poland. Germany will not
consent that Poland shall pass back
under Russian control.
“Rut,” he exclaimed, "what a price
to pay for the freedom of Poland.”
“Will the people of Germany be sat
is fled with such a settlement?”
"There admittedly is the problem.
Germany takes the ground that she
has merely defended herself against
aggression in this war. The emperor
repeatedly has said so. and this must
be the explanation to the people. I.
for one, am not so suro that we will
not have serious political, social and
economic disturbances after the war
Is over. Rut tell me if you can which
of the belligerents will be free front
similar problems? The problems of
the war have been great, but to m>
mind the problems of peace and re
construction after the war will find us
face to face with questions far more
difficult to solve than any' encoun
tered upon foreign bnttlo .fronts."
In the further consideration of peace
there is widespread discussion here
as to how Russia shall be appeased for
the losses she has suffered in the war.
Russian sacrifices have been great,
and the Russian people eypac t mater
ial compensation. Sweden is particu
larly Interested in seeing that Russia
is appeased. Men claiming to know
the Russian view have stated that
that country will be content only if
given possession of Constantinople
and the Dardanelles. With this natu
ral outlet it is claimed Russia would
forever be removed from the field
of Europeau politics, that her flel
of development then would be wes
.ward and that only Japan would hav
to fear her activity and her compet
tlon. On the other hand, traveler
from I’etrograd assert that If Hues)
Is denied this outlet -he will not r<
main quiet for :-ny gre-.t length o
time, and the peace of Europe car
not be asstired unle.is Russia If quiet
Such a settlement, of c.utr <>. woul
meun that Turkey eventually woul
be called ujion to make the greater
sacrifices nationally of all the nation
engaged In the war. Bulgaria migh
expect something from somebody, bu
naturally would be bound, as worth
Austria, by any terms of peace dir
tuted from Berlin.
So Stockholm views the situation.
