It would be an unwarranted presumption for me, after a few weeks’visit in Sweden, to attempt to tell you, who know the country much better than I, about conditions there. It cannot be presumptuous, however, to tell you how those things impressed me. I began with a fair knowledge of the Swedish people and their activities in this country and with my own ancestry so long rooted in America that I have neither racial pride in, nor racial prejudice against, any European State.
