Count Douglas, Former Minister
of Foreign Affairs For
Sweden Talks
WHY NORWAY LEFT THE UNION
pupIicity Of Some Leading Norwesians
planted the Seeds Of Dissension With
. View to Causing Separation Many
Years Aso-Many Advantages in a
Union.

Stockholm, July 27.-Count l.. Doug
las, former minister for foreign at
1air, of Sweden and Norway, now
governor general of the province OF
ostergoetland and leader of the stors-
ven.;ka, or patriotic party whose name
has been mentioned as the next premier
OF Sweden, received the correspondent
Of the Associated Press today while
awaiting the publication of the report
Of the special committee appointed by
the riksdag to deal with the crisis be-
tween Sweden and Norway. Count
Douglas said:
.sLn Norway they say and have
spread broadcast over the world that
the storsvenska party is a party of
nobility. The object of which is to
give the nobility of Sweden, the power
of government. This power is, as all
sans persons know, mere nonsense, and
childishness. They also say that our
object is to give Sweden some kind of
sovereignty over Norway. Such was
never our object, as you know Norway
has in respect Of self government been
one Of the freest nations in the world.
But the fact is that long before the
Bother parties perceived the duplicity
sof some Norwegians who were work
ing with the object In view of causing
separation. To accomplish their
object they were incessantly searching
for seeds Of dissension, and when
found planting them they worked hard
and heartily for dissolution of the
union, and we worked as hard to
co,lnteract their efforts.
TN the first excitement after the
Norwegian revolution, and after the
Swedish people had recovered from
the stunning insult to it and it's king,
many persons came to the conclusion
that 1t is we'll as it is, as they (the
Nerwegians) are unwilling to live in
peace with us and share the apparent
blessings Of this union of more than
ninety years duration, let them go
their own way and we. will go ours,
but they could have chosen a more
honorable way to break off this union.
That, at least, we might have good
reasons to expect. Now, when the
first excitement has passed, Sweden
ought to exert herself to the utmost
not to give up the union, because in
reality the differences are so insight
ficant that they easily could be over
come. A new union must be, offered
by us to the Norwegians, founded on
