Claim That It Transmitted Messages
for America to Turkey Before De
claration of War, False Only
Messages Sent Were Twelve Weeks
Afterward.
WASHINGTON", Sept. 13. Haron
Akerhielm, charge of the Swedish le
gation here, today informed Secre
tary .Lansing he had received the
statement of the Stockholm foreign
office- already published here on the
pussago of Count Luxburg's dispatch
es thru the legation at Buenos Aires,
hut that as the department already
was in possession of that Information,
ho did not consider it ncccsury to
present it formally.
The explanation is presumed to be
the same as the official statement is
sued at Stockholm earlier in the week
which declares the Intriguing nature
of the dispatches was unknown to
Sweden.
Examination of the already pub
lished statement reveals some inac
curacy. The Swedish foreign office
says it acted in a Similar way for the
United States and its minister in Tur
key. llcply Tlmccllnile.
"The American minister here,"
said the Swedish statement, "during
tho present year, asked for and re
ceived leavo to send to nnd from Tur
key letters and telegrams and this
at a time when Turkey had not yet
Bono to war with the United States
and its interests had not yet been
taken over by the Swedish represeh
tatlve in Constantinople."
The -Swedish government's agree
ment to forward messages required
the United States to present them to
the foreign ofice at Stockholm, or to
the Swedish legation In Constanti
nople, in French and there to be
put into Swedish cipher for trans
mission. Regarding the forwarding of let
ters to or from Turkey, Jlr. Morris
has informed the department that he
did not ask such permission until
some time in July, 12 weeks after
Sweden had taken over American In
terests in Turkey. lie said that In
making the request he made it clear
that such letters nnd replies be for
warded only with the knowledge and
approval of the Turkish government.
