20. The King’s telegraphic protest against the declarations of the Norwegian Government. Dated Stockholm, May 29, 1905.
Reading edition
Stockholm, May 29. On account of what the Norwegian Government has declared — not only in writing in their resignations, but also verbally in the Cabinet Council of May 27 after my rejection of the Consular service law — I must declare that I, most decidedly, protest against the comments made there on Me and my method of action. I adhere to everything I have stated to the assembled Cabinet Council as to my constitutional right. I beg the Premie minister to give publicity to this as soon as possible.
Oscar.
