Stockholm, Dec. 13.
Sweden formally avowed her intention to give material aid to Finland against Soviet Russia when Premier Per Albin Hanson, in a radio broadcast, declared today:
"We want to supply Finland-with material help, which is much more necessary than any possible mani-testations or meetings."
The Swedish Premier, who has just reorganized his Cabinet on a coalition basis, went into no further explanations, but stated:
"If we are compelled to take certain measures, it is because we are the best judges of our own sitüation."
The Premier also pointed out that the formation of a new, coalition Cabinet best answers Sweden's need in the present hour. He paid homage to the work and accomplishments of the former Foreign Minister, R, J. Sandler, and declared the latter resigned two days ago because of differences of opinion with his colleagues, not because of pressure from abroad.
In conclusion, Premier Hanson emphasized Sweden's determination to maintain her liberty and independence.—Havas.
