FOREIGN MINISTER INTERVIEWED. BRITISH AGREEMENT SWEDEN CANNOT BREAK WITH GERMANY. Received Oct. 30, 5.30 p.m London, Oct. 29. The D.iily Chronicle's Stockholm correspondent interviewed' Herr Wallenberg, Sweden's Foreign Minister, who discerns signs of a probable change of policy regarding the agreement with Britain as to imports and exports. He' said the Swedes had most friendly feelings towards England, but bo complained of our failure to trust Sweden, or study her interests. He honed they had now arrived at the point when the difficulties would be cleared up. Sweden could not be forced nor dominated. He instanced the friendly intentions of Parliament in voting, without discussion, money to establish a daily steamship service to England after the war. It was impossible for Sweden to break with Germany, who supplied goods unobtainable from England. The whole of the war material for Sweden sent from Germany would be insufficient to prolong the war for a single day. Many Swedish industries were suffering, especially that of margarine, owing to inability to secure copra.
