SWEDEN SENDS ITS
TERMS To NORWAY
What They Expect In Case Of
Dissolution.
SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Committee Regards an Arbitration
Convention Between the Two Coun-
tries as the Proper Thing-commit-
tee Recomme endations.

Stockholm, July 25.-The special
committee appointed by the riksdag
to deal with the crisis which created
the revolution in Norway today deliy
cred its report
The committee declares unanimously
that the government bill cannot be
adopted in the form in which it was
presented to the riksdag, and proposes
that the riksdag shall signify its will
ingness to negotiate with Norway for
dissolution of the union if the new
ly elected stOrthing requests a repeal
of the act of union and a dissolution
of the union or if such request is re-
ceiyed from Norway after the Norwe-
gian people by a plebiscite have de-
clared in favor of a dissolution of the
union
The committee recommends that in
the event of a dissolution of the union
Sweden should insist on the following
terms:
First, the establishment of zone on
each side of the frontier separating
the Kingdoms within which the exist
ing Notifications shall be razed and
new Notifications may not be erected.
Second, the right of pasturing rein
deer belonging to Swedish Lapladers
in North Norway.
Third, that the transit trade through
both countries shall be secured against
unjustifiable DISTINCTIONS
Fourth, that the status of Sweden
in respect to foreign powers as estab-
l1shed by the treaty shall be clearly
defined SO that Sweden shall be com
pletely freed from responsibility for
Norway to other states.
The committee also regards an arbi-
tration convention between Sweden
and Norway as desirable, although it
does not consider it an essential con-
dition for the dissolution of the union.
The committee further proposes to
authorize the government to raise a
loan of 25,000,O 900 which can, by
resolution of the riksdag, be made
available for such readjustments and
arrangements as may be necessitated
by the new conditions.
Regarding eventual negotiations
with Norway the comittee declares
that whatever may be demanded for
the welfare and dignity of Sweden as
a condition of the repal of the act OF
union on the part of Sweden and the
recognition of Norway must be claimed
and adhered to with rigor and deter
minatiOn.
