POSITION OF NEUTRALS.
RECENT EVENTS' IMPORTANCE. British Official Wireless. RUGBY, April 15. The appreciation shown in most neutral countries of the significance of the events of the past few days has noted in London with satisfaction. In North and South American countries particular the extravagance of the Nazis' propagandist claims appears to have failed entirely to impress.
In certain neutral countries more exposed to the stress of Nazi pressure the reluctance to acclaim Allied successes is fully understood. Sweden's precarious position especially wins general sympathy and the statement by M. Hansson, Swedish Prime Minister, made an excellent impression.
Contact is being maintained between the Swedish Minister in London and the Foreign Office.
