Christiania. Norway. June 14.-Mr.
Loevland, former president of the SEC
tion of the Norwegian council OF state
at Stockholm, who will be inducted
into his new Cffice of foreign minister
OF Norway tomorrow, in an interview
yesterday, said that a special envoy
would. within a few weeks, be dis
patched TO the great powers to seek
the recognition of the diplomatic and
consular representatives of Norway.
Regarding the probable difficulties to
De encountered. Mr.. Loevland declined
to express an opinion, but hs said the
envoy would convey the best wishes of
Norway to the powers and would 90 to
them with the highest hope as to the
successful result OF his mission.
when our case is presented TO the
powers" said MIR. Loevland, lit will be
seen that it is not one of antagonism to
the principle OF monarchies, nor TO a
single monarchy Norway has been a
kingdom for many centuries. and is
proud of that fact. The dissolution Of
the union was purely on constitutional
grounds. Our constitution existed
prior to the union with Sweden, and
when there came conflict between
the two peoples. Norway chose TO re-
tain her constitution.
Our difficulty with Sweden i. in the
first place of an economic character.
Our commercial interests, our tariffs
and our entire economic policy differ
from those of Sweden. While the dip
lomatic and consular services were
based on the ideas governing the union
OF the two countries. they worked to
the profit OF Sweden rather than to
that of Norway.
"Norway's merchant marine now
ranks fourth among the nations and
Norway no longer can afford to nego-
iiate with foreign powers through
Stockholm. The union. however, was
dissolved only when the conflict be-
came question Of our sovereignty.
we hope the powers win make no
mistake regarding our action. We have
never tried to create danger for Swe-
den. and Will Leyer seek TO make diff
culties for our sister country. We are
acting for the benefit of the common
interests OF each other and for our
common safety in the face OF foreign
Danger.
THE action taken by the Storthing
is irreyocable. and the powers should
realize the fact tha; Norway will fight
before this action is reconsidered. The
question OF peace rests with Sweden.
but the early recognition of our indie
pendence will be of interest to the pow
ers as well as 10 ourselves.
Immediately upon the dissolution
OF the union Norway informed Sweden
of its Willingness TO open diplomatic
relations, but we are Jealous OF our in
dependence and of our future. and will
avoid all alliances and Will not sub
ject ourselves to the influence of any
great powers"
Mr.. Loevland said he thought that
Norwegian interests would not suffer
during the interim in which the coun-
try would not be represented abroad.
Fortunately. he said. Norway's biggest
trade was with Great Britain. Germany.
the United States and France. where
for a short period eonsuls were not in
dispensable.

that it's less the boss and any inclina-

Why Mitchell Buys the Grub.
Editor News :

Editor News:
While | ask so many questions |
guess it is right for me to answer some
as it is great mystery to some people
how union boys get along so well dur.
ing strike. l will illustrate that
question this way. Suppose you have
a great crime hanging ovaar your head
or some of your folks have, and there
was no way to get out except by pay
ing sum of money which You did
not have and had no way to get. Then
Then suppose the union boys put in
their little mite every week, and help
ed you to pay it off. This is the way
we live in time of strike OF lockout.
We put our little mite in Uncle John
Mitchel's hand and he buys our grub
and sends it to us. Then some one
will say why don Uncle John give us
back the money and let us buy our
grub here. We can easily dispose of
that question, for he can buy our food
for us in large quantities much cheap
er than we can buy it in small quaint
ties. Then, too, the quality is uni
forlnly the best. John Mitchell works
no shoddy stuff off ON his friends.
During these times some people re-
mind one of the cat and the rat. II
don't any difference what kind of con-
dition he sets up so he gets fat, but
when the crisis comes he never thanks
the God who made him nor the man
who got his prices. GREEN HORN.
