SWEDEN DREADS
COMING QE WINTER
Made Uneasy by Prospect of
Curtailed Imports from
United States
CROPS LIKEI.Y TO
BE BELOW AVERAGE
1 "*
Food and Raw Materials Very
Scarce?Deny Reexporting
to Germany.
Stockholm.?Washington advices
of the last few days forecasting the
sharpest limitation or possible discontinuance
of all exports to neutrals
caused anxiety in government circles
and among the people generally. The
situation is already grave and the
prospect pictured by news from America
rentiers it still more disquiet
ing.
Crops arc likely to be below the
average. Many factories in various
lines are closed by lack of raw material.
Others can not maintain production
much longer. Benzine and
petroleum are nearing exhaustion.
Leather is scarce and so dear that a
pair of oradinary shoes cost from ten
to twelve dollars. Automobile tiros
bring $.">00 a piece. The cost of living
is steadily increasing. The
stocks of coffee in the kingdom will
be exhausted in a month. Long lines
of people standing outside the stores
waiting to buy coffee may already be
seen.
Not Re-exporting.
The government has already taken
extraordinary measures to deal with
extensive unemployment which is con
sidered inevitable if the war lasts anobter
winter and it becomes impossible
to import needed commodities.
lr. vicrvv of the assertions in some
quarters that Sweden's imports were
not intended solely for Swedish consumption,
the Associated Press ask
cd Herr B. Trolle, formerly minister
of foreign affairs and now prseident
of the government war trade commission,
for a statement. He said:
"Official statistics of Sweden's importations
for 1010 which are now
nearly complete demonstrate conclusively
the absolute erroneousness of
as serious that we are bringing in
American products tor tne purpose
of passing them on to the Central
pOWCv'S.
"In scv.eal instances our total inn
portations from America show a decided
decrease compared with 1913,
the last normal year, and in many
instances where our imports from
the United States increased, this increase
tell considerable short of mak
inp; good the deficit caused by tiv
decrease or total discnotinuance fo
our pre-war importations from belligerent
countries.
"A Paris paper recently declare#!
that exports to Scandinavia ami
Switzerland rose from $40,000,000 in
1013 to $183,000,000 in 191G. Leading
American papers have published
similar statistics and asserted, that

fact that Sweden had been re-exporting
to Germany. This assertion will
not stand the test of examination."
GERMAN SHIPPING AT

London.?A dispatch to The Time*
from Rotterdam says that German
shipping there is steadily increasing
steadily increasing. Twcnty-om
Twenty-one German ships from Harr
