possess the power of veto over the rep resentative Storthlng. Swedish officials are never appointed in Norway (no Swedish 'carpet-baggers). but there are many Norwegians employed in the Swedish Foreign Department and as agents in foreign countries. As mat ter of fact, instead of Sweden having gradually deprived Norway of power, Norway has gradually been raised from condition of vassalage to one of equality.
 Yet the taking possession of Norway has cost Sweden not only troops and money, but the province of Pomerania turned over to Denmark by the treaty of Kiel. in compensation for the loss of Norway It has also in a way cost Finland, which Russia, in spite of the straits in which she found herself in 1872, was allowed to keep in hope that the acquisition of Norway would prove an offset. The offer of the Crown Prince, already referred to. was the cli- max Or the cordial treatment accorded Norway Many Swcdes concured in this offer which. in view of the origin of the union, must be considered gen erous. Even this has been refused.
 The Norwegian party asked for the results negotiations in advance of their completion and insists upon a special, separate consular system. IL cannot carry this through, however, a s 1t requires not only the consent of Sweden but that of all sovereign pow CTS to which consuls are to be accred- ited.
 Blames the Politicians.
 It certainly must seem inexplicable that people treated with so much con- sideration should show genuine hatred toward a sister nation. That this Is the case. every Swede and every Nor wegian knows. The fact that the Scan dinaviar peninsular Is near Russia and that 1t bars the latter country from the oceans of the world has been made use of by professional politicians as a con venient weapon against Sweden. New ertheless, Norway is quite as much ex- posed to conquest by Russia as Is Swe- den. But it looks as if Norway would rather share the fate of Finland than to continue in the unior-solely for the pleasure of putting Sweden in a diIem- ma. The int srior conditions of Norway with permanent and sovereign Stor- thing and with )nly one Chamber of Deputies and universal suffrage, has caused to spring up a class of profes sional politicians who. when they can advertise themselves in no other way. stir up hatred against the Swedes. Herein lies the secret of the whole trouble.
 It seems strange that there are Swedes who run the errands of the Norwegians. That is what those who are seeking to abolish the present sys-

The royal title in Nor wegian documents has been changed so as to give the name of Norway precedence. According to the royal decree of 1885, members of the Nor wegian privy council are permitted to be present at the discussion of dip- lomatic affairs. The alteration in the constitutional law of ISS5, which Nan sen calls a coup" changed nothing in the foreign department of the Swed- ish government. It merefy formulated the fact that foreign affairs were in charge of a Swedish minister, as al- ready declared in the 'riksakt" of 1915.
 Of the joint consuls seventeen are Norwegians and ten Swedes There Is no instance on record of a Swedish consul having neglected the rights of Norway but 1t has happened that the Norwegian born consuls nave incurred the censure of Swedes. No formal complaints have been made, though they have been published in the news | fense of both countries, while Nor way since 1885, has exempted sixty three per cent of her small army from joint defense service. The Norweg- ians have built fortresses, not against possible foreign foes, put against Swe- den.
 There does not exist more than one instence of a conquered country be- ing offered equality. This was when the crown prince recently proposed to Norway a complete revision of the condition of unon on the basis of equality. What more does Norway de- sire?
 The fact is that Norway desires to take the lead In the unfon or disrupt it.

When the thirteen American colonies declared themselves Independent of England, il was in consequence of taxes imposed upon them. Norway has never paid any taxes to Sweden.

tenn of government in Sweden in favor of a one-chamber system are doing. They consider the attainment of the goal of more importance than the hon. or and welfare of the country. Fur ther. the social democratic party in Sweden, which aims at the abolition of present social conditions, is subservient to the Norwegians. Many other party factions. which cannot be referred to here. have themselves in agreement with Norwegians's aims in some re- spects. Any one ignorant of politics can judge for himself if it is not prob able that foreign powers whose inter Scandinavia have not had hand in the Swedish Norwegian disputes through the use of influential tools. The most contemptible cause of the trouble is the private ambition of cer- tain Norwegians. The Bjornson-Nan- sen fight proves it.
 Has Never WrOnged Norway.
 In conclusion I may say that Norway has never suffered any wrong through Sweden, that Sweden has always had to look after the interests of both countries and 1t Is at this very mo- ment prepared to meet all that is in accordance with common sense in ac- quiescing in the wishes of Norway. That the separate consular system de- manQeQ Will De tOQnQ on ClOseT eXdIIll- nation to be neither desirable nor use full in itself is likely, for it Is simply a means to an end.
