SWEDISH POLICY
♦ ; STATEMENT BY PREMIER. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.5 p.m.) STOCKHOLM. July 28. The Premier (M. Hansson) in a speech, admitted that concessions to Germany for the transit of troops through Sweden represented a change from the policy adopted during the Norwegian hostilities, but said there was no ground for a suggestion that Sweden was changing her basic policy, namely, a refusal to become the “brick” of any Power or group of Powers. It would be a mistake, he said, to suppose that Sweden did not realise her dependence on the rest of the world, but Sweden must retain the status of a free people.
