Can Sweden Defend Hersef?" IL
the title of pamphlet written by
Fabian Manson, Social Democrat.
He figures out that it would take
s415,OS7.2O0 to put the army and navy
OF Sweden in good shape. But as
this amount cannot be had he pro-
poses to drop the matter OF military

the authorities some annoyance.
A few representative Swedes at
tended the agricultural exposition in
Kristiania, but they were there as
private persons, not as Swedish rep
resentatives. One of them, Prof.
Juhlin- Dannfelt, was interviewed for
Norwegian daily, and he made a

that the Swedish nation does not en-
dorse everything said by the professor
IN his interview.
