Swedish feelings are quite spontaneous, says the "paper, and" not the result of foreign" propaganda.

· Concerning the Näzi denials that civilians had been fred on, the paper says that a new light was thrown on this sübject by the machine-gunning of Swedish ships within Swedish terri- torial waters.

The Social Demokraten says that it will not be prevented from publishing news which it considers true, Just because this news is a stain on Germany,
