itself on a matter which concerned Norway
equally with Sweden. This objection was
without foundation.
During the drawn debate, March 3, I had
already taken occasion to point out that it
would not be seemly for one moving a
resolution in the Swedish Riksdag to act as
spokesman for Norway; at the same time expressing
my confidence that the Storting would meet
us in a friendly manner, if the Riksdag
approved the bill with respect to Sweden.[1]
[1] Mr. Arnoldson’s speech ran thus:—
“The second speaker on the Right propounded certain
difficulties, amongst others, one referring to Sweden’s union
with Norway. Since Sweden and Norway have the same
foreign policy, and the initiative in this question comes from
Sweden, the Union King ought certainly to be able to act
freely in the common interest of the two kingdoms. In any
case, it is probable, as Mr. Hedlund remarked, that if the
Riksdag takes the first step it will not be long before the
Storting comes to meet us. It was chiefly on the ground
of courtesy that I did not undertake to speak for Norway
too in the Riksdag. We know that the Norse—and it
does them honour—are tenacious of their right of deciding
for themselves. I do not think it would be seemly for the
mover of such a resolution as this to make himself their
spokesman in the Swedish Riksdag—not to mention the
positive incorrectness of the proceeding. This is why I
limited the matter to Sweden in my proposition.”
