Neutral Sweden is right in the middle of a two-way war of nerves such as has not been experienced since the birth of psychological warfare on. a. big . scale shortly before the shooting began in 1930; writes Donald Bell, a well-known American commentator. The immediate cause is ball bearings, Sweden makes them and has been selling them in large quantities to Germany, thus contributing in no small measure to the German war effort. Britain and the United States, and Russia as well, want Sweden to stop selling ball bearings to the j Germans, The Germans, naturally, want the sales to j continue. j The Allies are not threatening-Sweden with re-j taliation by force but the Germans are, making' warlike gestures that are unmistakably meant to ! "iw the Swedes into favorable action. The Germaa! "oves, in effect, mean that either Sweden continues ading with Germany or the Germans will get by e what they can no longer get by agreement. S" eden earnestly desires to remain neutral. But here is no absolute neutrality for a- country in- her geographical position. In the first years of the war, Sweden had" to sub mit to German pressure. She even allowed the transit! if German troops and munitions to Norway and Finland. In addition her natural resources and in-j dustries were integrated into the German war machine. That was the price she had to pay for not being occupied like Denmark and Nonvay. On the other hand, it was very advantageous for Hitler to have Swedish co-operation without alT the; sabotage occurring, in other countries, and without imrnn . r t.: e e I uaiug ut mure ui ma lorces lor occupational purposes and to keep down a hostile population. It was only after the German defeats in. Russia' and after the Anglo-American offensives in the Mediterranean that the Swedish government dared forbid- the transit of German troops and munition? through its territory. It was then that the Swedes-became apprehensive of Allied reprisals, during the All Sweden recognizes that its freedom depend.- j on an Allied victory.

But they preferred the mail route via Sweden so that Swedish customs officials could discover this "threat" to their country. The result was as expected. It was just at the time when Cordell Hull had urgecLthe. neutrals to cease helping our enemies. The Swedish public felt that an invasion might follow if their government gave in to Allied demands. The apprehensions, were strengthened by the sudden appearance in Stockholm of Paul Schmidt,. German foreign office spokesman, who warned the Swedes of German reprisals, vAn2' 1 C0UVse' Swedish, fears have been, intensified by the sudden influx into Denmark of German airborne infantry and paratroopers, but this thinly-masked threat of invasion is not taken seriously by the best-informed Swedes themselves, nor by the Allies, who see it as a move directed, against the forthcoming opening of the second front.
