STOCKHOLM, Nov. 17.—(By mail)
—Despite the fact that the queen of
Sweden is German and the crown
princess, her daughter-in-law, is En
glish, it is said they never have clash
ed over the war.
The queen of Sweden, formerly
princess of Baden, has the reputation
of being one of the most intelligent
women in Sweden. From the start of
the war she has been a center of pro
German sentiment. But the crown
princess, formerly Princess Margaret
of Connaught, is said to be the most
tactful of women, and the combina
tion of intelligence and tact has pre
vented rupture between mother-in
law and son’s wife—a relation no
toriously hard to maintain.
It is said here that for some weeks
now the queen is no longer as active
as formerly she was reported to be.
Until some three months ago she had
as her right bower her kinsman, son
of a daughter by morganatic marri
age, Prince Douglas of Ludwig, of
Bavaria, and therefore as German as
she. His death was a distinct loss to
pro-Germans. As marechal of the
court his influence was great, and it
was through him mostly that the queen
exerted an influence on the politics
of Sweden as they bore upon the
war.
The university of Upsala, oldest
and most influential in the country,
is another center of conservatism and
pro-Germanism. This is perhaps be
cause the university graduates be
long to the “ruling classes” or nobil
ity, and the nobility seems to see
something menacing to itself in the
destruction of the ruling nobles of
Germany.
But if queen, court, army circles
and the nobility, or "ruling classes”
of Sweden are pro-German, why did
not Sweden long ago join the war on
the side of the central powers?
I asked this question of a number
of men, bankers, editors and business
men. Summed up the reply is this:
The bulk of the population of Swe
:len is democratic in the extreme.
Theresas even a fairly strong current
in Sweden favoring a republican
form of government. Once a year,
regularly, someone gets up in the leg
islature and proposes a republic. He
is not howled down. He is not hang
ed as a traitor. He is not imprisoned
for lese-majesty. To the contrary he
is listened to quite as though he were
proposing the building of a post-of
fice at Haparanda or increasing the
tax on tobacco. A debate follows, a
warm debate, various members of the
body of law-makers stating their
views on the subject. Then comes
a vote and the republic is defeated.
This shows the absolute democracy
at the bottom of Sweden. The Unit
ed States, too, have some influence on
the national mind, though the “ruling
classes” would scarcely admit it.
“The population of Sweden outside
of the big cities;” a Swedish editor
remarked, “knows more about the
United States than they do about any
other country. And most of them
know Chicago, Minneapolis, New
York and other American cities bet
ter than they do Stockholm. The
reason for this is plain. Many
Swedes have gone to the United
States. They have met with success
there. They like tiie country. So
they write home glowing accounts of
the great country, the cities and
towns, and tell the folks at home how
this and that is done in the states.
All this has a direct influence. It may
not be pressing and aggressive, but
it is constant. Sweden is sure to be
come a republic some day. Not be
cause it wants to copy any other na
tion but because the whole tendency
of democracy is in that direction and
Sweden, heart and soul is democratic.
I don’t mean we are going to have a
revolution or anything like that. I
don’t mean that we are going to be
come a republic next week. We will
simply evolute into a republic, do it
by vote of the people, by consent of
the majority.
“For, believe me, the majority has
its say in Sweden and perhaps that
is why the queen, exceedingly intel
ligent though she is, and all the
court officials, nobles and “ruling
classes,” have not had any great in
fluence on placing Sweden on the
side of Germany. Like the United
States most Swedes do not want war.
And though there was danger at one
time of Sweden coming in, I believe
all danger past now.”
