RUSSIA WOULD
GRAB SCANDINAVIA
Sweden and Norway Greatly Exercis

(United Press Service.)
STOCKHOLM, April 8.--Is Russia
preparing to grab the Scandinavian
peninsula? This question is being '
thoroughly threshed out in the cam
paign that is now on looking to the
election of a new Riksdag. A good j
many facts have been brought for- :
ward, which, despite semi-official de- j
nials from St. Petersburg, tend to
support the belief prevalent through
out Sweden and to a certain extent
in Norway, that there is real and im
minent danger of Russian aggression,
and consequently ample justification i
for an immediate and heavy increase
of expenditure for the national de - .
fense.
Here are some of the charges
against Russia that are made by the
Conservatives who are supporting
King Gustav’s program for a length
ening without delay the term of com
pulsory military service as well as
extensive preparations for enlarging
the navy and improving the land for
tifications. Finland, just across the
Gulf of Bothnia, is now being perm
anently garrisoned by the Twenty
second Russian Army Division—25,
000 men. Two other divisions are
stationed just over the Finnish bord
er, near St. Petersburg, from which
locality they could be drawn and
thrown into Swed n within ten days
1 by means of the new military rail
ways which have recently been com
pleted in Finland and which extend
right up to the Swedish frontier.
Army strategists assert that within
three wreeks Russia could place 150,
000 men in the field against Sweden.
In the past three years Russia has
been secretly engaged in building ex
tensive fortifications on the Finnish
west coast, and is now said to be
violating the treaty of Paris of 1856
whereby the Aland Islands were to
remain unfortified. For several
months past there has been an un
usual increase in the number of Rus
sian tramps an,d pedlers throughout
Sweden, especially along the eastern
coast in the north. A number of
these when arrested were found to be
in possession of military maps sim
ilar to those used by the Swedish
general staff. It was noted that oth
ers, who professed to be merely wan
dering Russian peasants looking for
work, not only bore no signs of
manual labor on their hands but could
speak Swedish fluently. In this con
nection the espionage scandal of last
fall is recalled as the result of which
the Russian minister and his military
attache were compelled to leave the
country. It was also openly charged
that the former Princess Marla Pav
lovna, wife of Prince Wilhelm, second
son of King Gustav, was a particular
ly active Russian spy. She, too, has
fled, and the prince is suing for a
divorce.
The Swedish Conservatives are
making good use in their campaign
of the words of Dr. Fritjof Nansen,
the Arctic explorer, who, in address
ing an anti-government mass meet
ing the other day in ChriBtiania, at
tacked the Radicals for preferring the
promotion of all sorts of social re
forms Instead of increasing Norway’s
defenses, and said: "I fear that the
day will soon come when Norway and
Sweden will have to unite against a
common enemy for the defense of
their neutrality and independence.”
In the meant'me Russia is doing
all she can to allay the Swedish sus
picions. Says the Novoye Vrenya,
semi-official organ of the St. Peters
burg government: "If the Swedes
should exercise a little more perspic
acity they would readily see that
their potential enemy is Germany, and
that it is from the WHhelmstrasse
that their baseless suspicions of Rus
sia’s ulterior designs against its Scan
dinavian friend and neighbor have
been fostered. In ease of an armed
collision between Russia and Ger
many the latter power would at once
endeavor to establish a naval base at
some point on the Swedish coast;
consequently it behooves the Swedes
to be prepared for such an eventual
ity by rendering their coast defenses
as far as possible impregnable. This
is the precautionary work of the
Swedes, instead of uselessly lavishing
their treasure on thetr land frontier
defenses."
