Swedish Princess Be- trothed to Crown

Prince Frederick 0f Denmark.

(By limes W. htcrsou, Associated Press Staff Writer) (A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March 15-All Sweden lifted glasses to- night in toasts to the ensflsement of its pretty 24-year-old princes, Ingrid, to tall, handsome Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark.

All other world events were pushed far into lhc background here by the formal announcement of the “love snatch". oft rumored and oft denied. and photographs of the couple's betrothed km claimed wide public attention.

A candle-lighted dinner table at the royal palace, meanwhile, saw the zlffidncod pair drink to each others health and happiness.

Wedding in May?

(A British news agency dispatch from Stockholm quoted palace circles as saying the wedding of Frederik and Ingrid probably would take place at Stockholm ta- wurd the cncl of. May).

The engagement kiss, Stock- holm newspapers pointed out, was not very dramatic, because, they said, this first public demonstra- tion of affection was naturally a ‘bashful, station platform sort of affair."

From the political viewpoint. the engagement was considered of great interest since it immediately precedes an election in Stockholm Sunday in which Conservatives

would rule on u. complicated point '

The former trade minister said he would not be cajoled into sup- porting lcgislaticn about which them seemed to be legal doubt, only to he disillusioned later.

"libr that." rctorted Mr. Stevens, "I tilunk the minister of justice and I accept his statement at its full face value."

Mr. ‘Stevens said there was too much legal hair-splitting over rc- form laws. In his opinion Canada was being driven into disunion by the vagaries of provincial social lczislsilon and the day passed long ego when the Dominion should hive stormed in. correlating the ls-w. seeming the lead.
