SWEDEN REALIZES
SERIOUS SITUATION
Stockholm. — Sweden realizes the
seriousness of the situation created by
the recent disclosures at Washington
regarding the transmission of German
dispatches and expects to take all
steps possible to put matters right.
Foreign Minister Lindman stated dur­
ing an informal talk. All transmission
of German dispatches bad been stop­
ped, he said, and Germany had been
asked for an explanation of the abuse
of the privilege formerly extended.
The foreign minister, during the en­
tire conversation, seemed imbued with
the desire to see the situation cleared
up fully and completely on a basis
satisfactory to the United States and
Sweden, and in a way to permit the
continuance of the most friendly, cor­
dial relations with tile American (or­
ernment and people.
"As Boon as I was informed of Sec­
retary Lansing’s statement,” he said,
"I immediately gave orders to cease
this practice. This would have been
done earlier as a matter of course had
my attention been called to the unde­
sirability of the practice.”
The foreign minister has as yet been
unable to explain the exact circum­
stances under which the practice of
transmitting dispatches in code for
Germany had come into being, as it
was an inheritance from the adminis
tration of his predecessor. He had or­
dered a rigid investigation within his
department as to the origin of the sys­
tem, he said.
