Eress OF the Swedish political party,
representing majority of Finland =
and most influential cin sses.
yesterday passed a resolution favor
ing complete separation of the grand
duchy of Finland from Russia. The
resolution reads:
The Finnish people have progressed
so far In culture that Finland Is en-
titled to demand her right to take her
place as an Independent state among
the sovereign nations
This radical action Is only the latest
action of the separatist agitation
which started after the revolution and
which Is occasioning anxiety In Petro-
grad and bringing out sharp opposi-
tion in the press.
The agitation started when Premier
Katoi,fa social democrat, In speech
In parliament used an expression Ina
plying that Russia haA ceased to be
friendly neighbor and possible ally.
Government Power Questioned.
4 Tho temporary government In Petro-
grad III restoring the Finnish constitu-
ton on March, 20. claimed the new
Eussian government had succeeded to
AL rights OF the emperor. but the Hell
sinfors parliament last week declared 1t
tN ~ Ian, ,Intt la ,t,..,,
OF the temporary government was cor
rect and whether therefore, that gov
ernmcnt had inherited the former en-
perors rights to sanction Finnish par
lament acts or refuse sanction TO
them.
In addition the Finnish government
has suggested to Russia the immediate
passage OF measures increasing Fin
lands measures OF independence, hut
the temporary government holds thar
this section must await action OF the
constituent assembly to draw up u
constitution for the whole empire.
Freed by Revolution.
Prominent among the advocates of
complete Flnnish Independence is Pro-
fessor Erich, who declares that Fin
land attained absolute independence by
the fact of the revolution, adding that
Finland's future relations with Russia
would depend exclusively on the will
OF the Finnish people and could he
regulated exclusively by voluntary
Finno- Russian treaties of an inter-
national character.
Altho some members OF tho Swedish
paities and tho socialist groups %
posed the claims as premature and M
likely to cause irritation In Russia, tho
only party solidly opposing indepcnd-
ence Is tho old Finniah party which
has always been Russophlle.
