At the annual meeting of the Dam
ish Peace society, which will take
place next summer, the executive COM
mittee will propose the following res
olution: 1.-THE Danish Peace society
makes a unanimous appeal to the
government and the rigsdag to take
pains to have Denmark, contempora-
neously with the two other Scandina-
Wan kingdoms, if possible, commit
herself to policy of perpetual neu-
trality as over against other powers. -
The peace society is not very strong
organization, and, taken by itself, a
resolution like the above would not
mean much. But Politiken, the pow
erful daily which has been instru-
mental in building up the party in
power, makes the following signifi-
cant remark: 1.-THE time has no doubt
come when we must deal with the
question of having Denmark adopt a
policy of permanent neutrality. 1t
will be beautiful and momentous
problem for our democratic admins
tration to solve this question, which
was sidetracked by the Rightist cab
inets.''
