ROOSEVELT INCIDENT
MAKES SENSATION IN NORWAY.
| Ex-President WronsfuIIy Quoted as
| Partisan in Norwegian Politics.

Christianfa. May 9.-Mr. Roosevelt 5
visit here has been followed by an in
cident which is making "A sensation in
Norway. Mr.. Roosevelt has severely
censured eX-Premier Gunnar Knud-
sen, who is now vice president of the
parliament, for using his name and
quoting him as partisan in Norwe-
gian politics
The ex-premier has been making a
campaign and has introduced bill
in parliament for the conservation of
the natural resources. chiefly the wa
ter power and the opposition party
has been fighting this scheme as an
infringement on personal rights. At
the recent gala dinner at the castle
Mr.. Knudsen had a conversation with
Mr.. Roosevelt on this subject. The
latter, in the belief that he was speak,
ing Of general principles, expressed
warm sympathy in the work.
Mr.. Knudsen asked permission TO
make the former presidents remarks
public.
Tell it TO anyone you like" Nyr
Roosevelt replied uSiastically.
There was a considerable stir when
the newspapers appeared quoting Mr.,
Roosevelt as warm supporter or
Knudsen's policy Mr. Roosevelt sum-
cally that he issue a denial. and he
himself wrote a letter to the same
effect The opposition papers are now
attacking the eX-premier.
The Aftenposten says:
From the denial which Mr.. Gunnar
Knudsen was compelled by Mr.. Roose-
welt to make. it appears that at the
conversation in question Mr.. Roose-
welt was thinking of his own American
policy while Mr.. Knudsen was speak
ing of his Norwegian policy. We Will
not dwell upon the want of discretion
shown by Mr.. Knudsen in trying TO
involve a guest of the nation in our
own internal political disputes and
trying 10 turn him to political account.
This want of discretion rightly reused
great deal of Indignation. II is an
absolutely unprecedented phenomenon
that man holding a position like
Theodore RooseVelts should dnring the
visit he paid US be compelled TO issue
denial of what the late premier stat
ed regarding his conversation with
him."

The president said in part:
Il should be wa nting in personal
gratitude if l did not seize this oppor-
tunity to come here and give my
thanks to a profession to which per-
sonally / owe so much. ] do not Ike
to compare you either with lawyers or
politicians, but there is one respect. at
least. in which we are all alilye-the
money we make seems to come easy
and go easy.
You are different from lawyers and
politicians in that, out of the gener-
osity of your hearts. you take care Of
those who have played their parts in
your profession And have reached the
time when they are dependent on
others.
TT was no meaningless phrase when
/ said to you that ! owed much to your
profession. There is nothing that
know of in nerve-straining life that
equals the relaxation of a good play,
we'll mounted and well played. and you
put all human nature under oofigdtion
by holding up the mirror To nature"
William II. Crane, the dean of Amer

the president with a gold medal struck

the president said IL closing:

overcome by your generosity. But
