SWEDISH SAILING SHIPS
TO CARRY WHEAT FROM AUSTRALIA ij. LONDON, June 27. The famous pre-war wheat aces from Australia to England will be resumed as soon as the Swedish fourmaster sailing ships Pommern and Passat have been overhauled, says the British United Press correspondent at Stockholm. Their owners are confident that they will be able to enlist young British sailors as crews for these ships, because they believe the Admiralty will readily accept their offers on account of Britain's shortage of ocean-going sailing ships.
