New Ministers Appointed.
On March 20, the King accepted
the resignation of his ministers and
appointed a new cabinet headed BY
Carl Johan Gustaf Swartz who Fad
been minister Of finances from 1898
to 1911.
NJ. Swartz is an extreme conserva-
tive and his appointment caused a
tremendous disappointment Through
out Sweden. the people realizing that
the king intended to continue the
state policy along substantially the
same lines as formerly. The Dazens
Nyheter, a leading opposition paper,
words when it said: "The new cab
met is not particularly imposing.
You might AVE expected a little
more character and a stronger lead
ership in view of the crises which
confront u.s.
Two days after accepting ONCE the
new premier issued a statement
wnich was quite coloriess and in
the various issues involving the life
OF the nation, would be discussed in
cabinet meetings. He also said some-
thing superfuous about the serious
ness of the time which everybody
realized without being told in an off,
ctal statement promising no solutions
OF the problems whatever.
Popular Unrest Shown.
In the middle Of April a series of
1000 riots started in a number Of
Swedish cities, caused by dissatisfac-

IN many kinds of provisions and high
prices generally. On April 90. a great
demonstration took place in Stock
holm following the announcement Of
the premier that "the Swedish food
situation was being taken care Of"
TWO days later the government issued
an order prohibiting the retail sale Of
distilled liquors throughout the coun-
try until May ~.
This was the first intimation that
the government expected trouble on
the first Of May-the international
workmen's day throughout the Eu-
ropean continent.
Dangerous Talk.
About this time the cry OF revoiu-
ton was heard for the first time. The
example of Russia was encouraging,
and large factions claimed a republf-
a form Of government installed In
stead Of a monarchy. It was report
ed that the king had prepared to
leave his castle and that two warshfps
had been stationed In the immediate
neighborhood OF the castle.
But the Swedes are rather slow in
