A WAR-BORN GRIEVANCE
The Association of Swedish Creditors of Great 'Britain, formed in the early part of last year, and comprising Swedish importers who had cargoes of merchandise held up find seized by the British authorities during the war, has issued a pamphlet to call the attention of the British commercial world “to the unjust treatment and tin* considerable losses which a great number of Swedents merchants have suffered by the war-time seizures, and above all by the refusal of the British authorities subsequently to pas compensation to the owners of th a goods.” The competent authorities of Great Britain are asked to revise their attitude towards these clair-'.g by instituting negotiations with the Government and importers of Swed.en, or by submitting the question to international arbitration. Such a step, it is asserted, “would create the fundamental qualification for renewing and strengthening old business and opening up new, and would be equally profitable and advantageous to both parties.”
