SWEDISH POLICY
DEFINED BY MINISTER t INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL INDEPENDENCE. REJECTION OF ENFORCED ALLIANCES. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.55 a.m.) STOCKHOLM, March 28. “Our idea of a free Sweden is political independence externally and also the right to determine our own internal affairs and freedom to dispose of our assets,” said Mr. Skoeld, Defence Minister, addressing Social Democrats. “We shall not. isolate ourselves, but shall retain the riglff to determine in what manner and to what extent wc shall participate in international reconstruction,” he added. “We shall not tolerate being forced into alliances or conspiracies and shall refuse to accept commercial principles and prices leading to ourselves or others being impoverished. Sweden’s peace time foreign policy must also be based on this principle, which fixes limits of our participation in international co-opera-tion.”
