Herr Hedin, who has a weakness for strong
expressions, had the opportunity of using some
such in their right place. Unhappily, this
cannot be said with truth of the closing words of
his speech, where he remarks that the
expressions of the Foreign Minister are so decisive
against the bill that they deal the report of the
committee of the Second Chamber a right
deadly blow.
The committee had proposed that the king,
with the authority which § 11 in the form
of government accords him, should seek to
bring about such agreements with foreign
powers, that future possible differences
between the powers named and Sweden should
be settled by arbitration.
The deadly blow must be the remark of the
Foreign Minister that questions affecting the
existence and independence of nations must be
excepted from decisions by arbitration.
This principle is known to be universally
accepted, and in no way stands in antagonism to
the report of the committee, which of course
left the hands of the king as free as possible to
promote the idea of arbitration according to
circumstances.
