Show SWEDEN STRICTLY NEUTRAL. Will Not Take Sides in Controversy Between World Powers. Stockholm. Prime Minister Ham-marksjold Ham-marksjold on Wednesday in an interview inter-view said: "iSweden proclaimed her neutrality at the very outbreak of the war. All her actions since that time have borne out that proclamation and all rumors or accusations that she has done, or intends to do, anything inconsistent in-consistent with this attitude are due either to failure to comprehend her situation or to some less creditable reason. "Whenever Sweden has taken any step displeasing one or other belligerent belliger-ent power her action has been dictated solely by consideration of the kingdom's king-dom's own necessities and of its future fu-ture welfare and not by any partisan reasons. We hope sincerely that the belligerents will not make it impossible impos-sible for us to maintain this attitude unto the end." |
