THE XORXTSQ OKEGOXEAiK, WEDNESDAY, JlgsE 14, 1905. HIC OSCAR'S REPLY Defends His Action and Con demns Norway. STANDS BY CONSTITUTION Dethroned Monarch Accuses Nor wegian Ministry or Violating Fundamental 'Law and Ap ' peals to Posterity. STOCKHOLM. Sweden. June 13. King Oscar, in a long and vigorously-worded letter to the President of the Norwegian Storthing, Mr. Bcrner. declares that tho accession oath o .Norway's King makes it the King duty not to pass over in alienee the action of th Norwegian Council of State on -the occasion of His Majesty's veto of the Consular bill. The King maintains that he did not overstep his prerogatives under the constitution and says that consideration for the union imposes on the King the duty of exer cising his constitutional rights. He adds: The King of Norway must a way bear in mind 'paragraph I of the Norwegian con stitution, which reads: "The kingdom of Norway l free, autonomous. Independent and indh-lnJble. I feel myself' justified In de manding repct for the rieclrfen taken by the King of Norway In accordance with the constitution. The power? which the conctl tutlon place at the disposal of the Norwegian King Jn order to enable him to promote the welfare of the country, according to Ma eon Motions are no greater than 'those which tnvrt he refervrd to the monarchy united tilth Sweden under one King." King Not "a Mere Tool. After lengthily repudiating the declara tion of the Council of State that his veto wan unconstitutional because no member of the Council regarded himself as being In. a position to countersign it. King Oscar proceeds: One of the fundamental principle ef the constitution and a fact that 1 most Import ant Ik that Norway shall be a constitutional monarchy. It 1 clearly Incompatible there with that the King ftlnk to the poeltton of a mere tool in the hand!, of the State Council. If th members of the Council of State, by refusing to countersign any of the royal de c!'on5, could prevent them from having force, the King of Norway would-be ex cluded from participation In the rtate ad ministration. Such a situation would be as degrading to the monarch a? harmful to Norway. The position of the 'King as mon arch of tbe United Kingdom of Sweden and Norway maker It Ineumbent upon him not to prejudice, as monarrh of one kingdom, questions affecting the other kingdom. The duty of (he King on this point .cannot be reconciled with tbe view that one king dom, through the refusal of Its Council of State to append a countersignature can an nul the royal Judgment, wherein the King re fuses to give a decision prejudicial to the other Kingdom and injurious to the union. Will of Norway Not Paramount. The Norwegian people and the Norwegian ration demand the right to force the King t - give a decision which In his opinion con flicts with the duty as monarch of the united kingdoms and King of Sweden, therefore tbe King of Sweden must become altogether de pendent, as regard bis decisions, upon the wi;i of he Norwegian nation through Its Ounrll of State. Such a position for the kingly power f 'm only describe na being irreconcilable with the Jsws of the unfon laid down In tbe Rlkeakt Hhe charter promulgated In 1815). establish ing now fundamental laws on the terms that the union of the two kingdoms Indissoluble and irrevocable without prejudice to the eep urate government, constitution and laws of either Sweden or Norway. My endeavor has always1 been to give Nor way that place within the -union to whlah she can rightly lay claim, lly royal duty to the union requires me to endeavor te up bold. Its) legal basis, even .when by o doing I come into opposition with the Norwegian national feeling. On Horns of Dilemma. The law on which I took' th oath and which ha regard for the welfare of the united kingdoms determined my decision on the Consular question, hot here I was met rot only by the refusal of the Norwegian Council of State to countersign that decision, but by the resignation of Itr members. When 1 declined ' to accept the resignation -of the Council, It declared threateningly that any Norwegian who co-operated In carrying out my decision would at the name moment be without a fatherland. I was therefore placed In a pceltlon of either myself breaking the RIksakt, which I was sworn to upheld, or cf reconciling myself , to -tand. without. Coun cil officers. The roundl. after a'ttehSpting to violate the constitution and to rendeV Void a decision of the King of Norway legally given, resigned office, and the King of Norway was deprived of Councilors. The Storthing approved thiiP breach of the constitution, and by a revo lutionary, proceeding fleclaruil that the legitimate- King- of Norway had ceased to reign, and -that the -union of the two kingdoms was dl&eolvcd. - It remains .for Sweden and for me. as King ef the union, to dccMe .whether the attack by Norway on- the existing mnlen shall lead to the legal dissolution of that union. Let the present generation and posterity Judge between me and the Norwegian people. CONSULS TO 1GXOHE NORWAY Swedish Government Declares Pro visional Government Illegal. STOCKHOLM!. Sweden. June 13.
