HJALMAR GRANTING, FORMER PREMIER
 OF SWEDEN, PASSES AWAY AT HOME IN STOCKHOLM AT AGE S[XTY-FOIR YEARS
Played an Important Role in Nearly all International La
 Dor Conferences and Was Member of Peace Confer ence Paris Where He 1ndorsed Ideas Pres. Wilson Was Awarded Nobel Peace Prize for the Year 1921

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Feb 24.- Hjalmar Granting, who resigned the premiership of Sweden a month ago, died here today.
 Hjalmar Granting, the first Social ist prime minister in the history of Sweden, and one of the outstand- ing public men of that country in his time, was regarded by the Swed- ish people as their countrys most prominent international politician.
 Devoting virtually his entire life to the amelioration of the condi- tions of the working classes and the attainment of the Social Democratic dream of universal peace by univer- sal understanding, Dr. Granting worked increasingly and with a fine optimism for the realization of his ideals. He spared hmiself no per sonal sacrifice, and even sat in pris- on for his championship of the cause of those whose casts and culture were inferior to his own.
 Interference with these activities which he regarded as his more i'm portant international work, promi- nent Swedes said at the time, was the real reason for Dr. Brantings resignation as finance minister in the Eden government in 1918, altho he had said he was withdrawing from the cabinet because of the con- dition Of his health
 The ministry from which he re- signed fell in power, however, only from March to October, when it re- signed. As a result of the Socialists victory in the elections in the fall of 1921 he was returned to power. His government remained until Apr 1923, during which Granting was both premier and foreign minister. It resigned after having been defeat ed in the upper chamber on pro- posal by the government to distrib- ute doles among the unemployed.
 The succeeding ministry resigned in October, 1924, because of diverg- ent views between it~and parliament on the question of disarmament and for the third time Dr. Granting was called to head the government.
 During the World War Dr. Brant- ing was outspoken in his criticism of, Gremany and in May, 1917 he made a bitter attack upon the Ger man government for it's submarine warfare, characterizing Germany's ruling clique as "the common ene- mics of mankind"
 As the representative of the SWed- ish Social Democracy, Dr. Granting played an important role in nearly all international labor conference. He took part in all the meetings of the First International and in the summer of 1917 was chairman of the Dutch-Scandinavian delegation which sat at Stockholm and in turn con- ferred with delegations of the Social ist parties from nearly all the belli- gerent countries with a view to de- vising a platform for joint interven- tion by them in the interests of
