Sweden's present foreign policy may be charac- terised as part of her military policy. Sweden now is in a position to offer such resistance to a possibly planned invasion by Nazi forces that, though she is encircled by Germans, it would not be an easily won blitzkrieg. This is one of the main reasons for the reaction of the Swedish people against the Nazi menace in the last few months.

The best evidence of the shift in Sweden's "real" policy to an active neutrality is given by the daily newspapers. All agree in uncompromisingly sharp denoun- cement of Nazi Germany. Recent articles in "Svenska Dagbladet." conservative and or of Sweden's finest papers, and "Dagens Nyhe- ter." a leading liberal paper, pay tribute to the heroism, patience and iron toughness of the English people.
