CHRISTIANIA, Dec. 1.—(By Mail)
! —If the Swedes, by stretching things
a bit can be called pro-German, the
Norwegians, without stretching things
at all, are pro-ally.
Norwegians and Swedes are not
particularly fond of each other and in
the recent neutrai alliance it was more
a feeling of self-preservation than
anything else which brought about the
union of Sweden, Norway and Den
mark.
Tor here one does not hear much
talk of a Beautiful Peace in the near
future in which all the nations o/ the
world will have a hand. Nor does
anybody seem to believe that this is
the last great war; or that after this
war is over little nations will be safe
from molestation by the big.
Rather the feeling is that “prepar
edness” is the only remedy which for
a long time to. come prove effective.
All eyes are on the United States to
see what steps she is going to take
along these lines for whatever people
may say in Europe or at home, the
prestige of the United States has not
suffered in Scandinavia. Wherever l
have been in Norway and Sweden—
and I have been twice in Norway and
threg times in Sweden since the war—
only good words were heard of Amer
ica. Americans here say the Ameri
can nation was never more highly re
spected than now.
So now Swedes, Norwegians and
Danes are watching the United States
to see what lines her “preparedness"
program is to take.
Norwegians welcome co-operation
with Sweden and Denmark. Already
three general meetings have been
held: One in Sweden—the first—the
second in Denmark and the third here.
There will be others as occasion de
mands. But as to just what transpir
ed at these meetings no one is yet ab
solutely certain despite the official
communiques which were handed out
after each. This much, however, is
certain:
Norway, Sweden and Denmark have
agreed to act together on all questions
! affecting their neutrality.
To tqke joint steps as regards black
| lists promulgated by belligerent pow
I ers.
! To inquire jointly into commercial
; espinoage, or acts whereby foreign
countries come into possession of
trade secrets of the three Scandina
vian countries.
To establish a working basis for
j commercial co-operation after the
war.
To reach an agreement concerning
Scandinavian shipping, the effects of
the allied blockade and of German U
boats.
To agree on steps necessary to
maintain their neutrality.
This much the three countries are
known to have discussed. But it is
generally believed that they went
further than that and became to ail
intents and purposes allies for purpo
ses of defense in the future.
A Swede told me:
“If the Scandinavian countries are
to remain free, they must absolutely,
come together and agree on a policy
of mutual assistance in time of trou
ble.”
This seems to be the general feeling
here. People seem of the opinion that
the world will remain topsy-turvy for
some years to come and that weakling
among nations are a menace to
themselves and a temptation to their
neighbors. Of course nobody talks of
an aggressive alliance here. But nei
ther Swedes Norwegians nor Danes
want to be caught out on a limb.
So it happens that Norwegians,
Swedes and Danes, with no particular
friendship for each other, may be ex
pected to stand as one in the future.
IRISH CAUSE TROUBLE IF
HOME RULE NOT GRANTED
LONDON, Dec. 11.—The question
today in connection with the change
of government is the probable atti
tude of the Irish nationalist party.
The nationalists are still undecided as
to their course of action but will prob
ably decide today at a special meeting.
They will probably press the Irish
claims and demand the release of the
rebellion prisoners before supporting
the new government.
