and not only when it is really a question of
defence, but when it is a matter of preparation
for defence, that is drill, even if this extend to
years of barrack life in time of peace.
These are the sacrifices demanded from the
people.
There are those who think, would it not be
much better if the people, on their side,
demanded a little security that the country should
not be far too thoughtlessly plunged into
war—war which can no longer be carried on by
paid volunteers, but with members of families
conscripted by force, by means of compulsory
service?
Such security could be effected by changing
the formulas of government §§ 12 and 13, and
the constitutional law § 26, partly so that the
conclusion of treaties should require the
confirmation of a united meeting of the
Swedo-Norse cabinet councils, and partly also, that
certain treaties, namely such as include a
greater political intricacy, should be subjected
to the confirmation of the Riksdag and the
Storting, as has been the case with certain
treaties of commerce—bagatelles in comparison
with the entanglement of the kingdoms in war.
