bt wax. PHXLrP SZMOCS. (United Frm Staff Corrw.pond.nt.) STOCKHOLM. Nov. 6 (by mail). Sweden is perhaps tha most divided country in the universe over the war. One could not ay with truth that Sweden is pro-Ally or pro-(Jrmn. There are many factions and each look at the great conflagration in its own way. Most everybody. Is anti-Russian. A great many are anti-British, a small circle are pro-German, but everybody Is

pro- rencn, even the pro-Germans. A strange paradox, but a true one. Still Sweden as nation is neither pro-Ally nor pro-Prussia. The Russian antipathy is historic. Sweden used to be on both sides of the Baltic. Russia toot Finland and for generations Sweden has feared Russia some day would try to go further west, blazing: a fray to open porta of the Atlantic. German propaganda has helped this feeling; along. France, one and all say, has been the Ideal country in this war. from the first gun until the last. She has fought like a lion and unselfishly. She has put herself, heart and soul, into the struggle and has always fought strictly according to Hoyle. Her attitude has been nobility itself, and not even the proGermans seem to hope for her defeat. However, in this pro-German crowd, one hears that England is using France for her own selfish purposes. According to them, England Is aiming at world-domination, and that if the Allies win and Germany Is crushed. England will have her hand on the world's windpipe and can throttle it at leisure.

commercially and otherwise. And as proof of what England will do, they point to the English blockade. Even now, they claim, Sweden is being sorely pinched economically by the action of England's fleet. The cost of living has gone up from 40 to 100 per cent, they assert, and certain commodities are rot to be had at all. Should England become all-powerful, as she would in the event of a crushed Germany, what would happen to Sweden? I asked President Carl Frisk of the Stockholm Handels bank, one of the most powerful financiers in all Scandinavia and one of the best Informed men in such matters in Sweden, about the effect of the British blockade and if it had effected the cost of li-ing to any great extent. He did not seem tc think it had. Living was higher, he said, but on an average not more than 23 or SO per cent. Sweden is exceedingly prosperous and there is plenty of money in the land. Perhaps the greatest authority on the cost of living in Sweden is Axel Robert Bilot, director of Transito Ltd.. formed to handle freight "in transit" from foreign countries, through Sweden, to Russia. This concern was recognized by

the British government and goods consigned to it were allowed free passage through the blockade because England had guarantees that such goods would not be diverted to Germany, once in Sweden, as formerly had been the case very often. The pro-German press of Sweden fought Transit untnercilesply, claiming that through it England was tying to .get a strangle-hold on the economic life of Sweden, controlling every mouthful of food and all other supplies coming into the country. "This assertion was utterly without foundation," Iir.;ctor Hildt told me. "We handle only 'in transit goods. These, now arriving in large quantities from America and other countries, are let through the blockade without delay. It is not true that England thus con

trols all Sweden's imports. "We simply are surety to England that such goods sre not consigned to us to go to the Central powers." "Has the cost of living gone up very much since the war?" he was asked. "Not more than in the United States, Argentine and other neutral countries, I should say," lie replied. "At the start we had in Sweden abundant supplies of everything, but Swedish dealers could not withstand the temptation and to sell and disposed of this surplus, principally to Germany at war prices. Now

we are short and price have risen in consequence some 30 per cent on an average. "England has tried to arrange with Sweden to allow Sweden to restock en an ante-bellum basis. But the proGerman clement refuses to agree to this." So relations between the two countries continued to be somewhat strained. England refused to allow certain things to pass the blockade and enter Sweden. Sweden retaliated by laying an embargo on certain articles woodpulp, for exampU. Xow the wood-pulp dealers, who formerly exported some 300.000 to 600.000 tons per year, have no market for their pulp and are not happy. "I am sure." Director Bildt said, "that at present our government would like to go back on its action. An agreement with England would benefit us much."
