ACROSS SWEDEN
TRANSIT OF GERMANS UNDESIRABLE TRAFFIC (Rec. 9 p.m.) STOCKHOLM, Apl. 4. Referring to the transit of Germans across Sweden, the Prime Minister, M. P. A. Hansson. declared: “Neither the public nor the Government regards the traffic as desirable. The Government regards the concession as one of the burdens Sweden has to carry as a result of the war between the great Powers.
“ The Swedish public’s increased irritation is understandable in view of the events in Norway, which have deeply affected Swedes.” the Prime Minister added, “ but all quarters should realise that Swedish opinion does not desire our attitude to fluctuate with the fortunes of war. Our chief aim is to keep out of the war while maintaining our liberty. We will defend our independence against all encroachments.”
