London Times he Is quoted as saying:
'Our people will not recede from the
position they have taken. The mini
mum of our demand Is separate con-
sular representation. Thus far the
Swedish government has refused to
grant these rights. Further negotia-
tons with the same government prom
ises only further failure. Hence we
are disinclined to take part In them.
u is useless 20 travel over the Old road
again, while Sweden's case Is in the
hands OF men In fixed position to Nor
ways irredIcible policy. There is
nothing in the constitutional relations
between Sweden and Norway contrary
to Norway's position. We are within
the constitution in all our claims.
Sweden's attitude implies Norway's
subordination to the larger country.
This status is repugnant to the vast
body of our people and will not be
endured. We purpose nothing vio-
lent All our procedure will be con-
stitutional yet our commerce must b.
free and our trade interests in our
own hands. If Sweden should say
no. the consequences will belong to
Sweden; If trouble arises Sweden must
be the aggressor However, I'm my

matter how uncompromising in the
past, will not oppose itself finally to

the crown feels compelled to associate
itself with the ultimate determination
Of the more numerous nation, but con-
fdently expects that this determinat ton
will give way to what the Swedes now
recognize as the unbending will Of the
Norwegian people. At present the
only matter at issue is the consular
question, but II the Swedish foreign
minister should decline to get for our
consuls the official status they require
In foreign countries, we should be
forced to choose foreign minister of
our own to perform this function. Such
a step would logically lead to separate
ministers from and to other countries
as well. We hope the controversy will
not be permitted to drift so far, be-
cause Norway is honestly and keenly

For the castle itself is used as "A
