Peace Movement.
The work for bringing about permanent peace in the world, or for the
abolition of war and the substitution for it of international arbitration, has
long found sympathizers in Sweden. As early as 1883, was formed the
Swedish Arbitration and Peace Society, which is still in existence. Since
1911, also, has existed the Sivedish Peace Federation, under the
chairmanship first of Baron Carl Carlsson Bonde, and since his death of Baron
Theodor Adelswärd; this Federation works chiefly by the free publication and
distribution of pamphlets, which aim at providing reliable information
about important facts and about actual problems encountered by the Peace
Movement and in the domain of International Law. There also exist a
few less prominent peace organizations. In 1892 was formed, within the
Swedish Riksdag, an inter-parliamentary peace group, affiliated to the
Inter-parliamentary Union; the Swedish State has made a grant to the
Interparliamentary Union, as well as to the International Peace Bureau in
Berne.
