- Genie H. Rosenfeld

A treaty was made in Stockholm, in 1855, between Sweden and Norway, and France and England, which they say binds King Oscar to agree with England.
This treaty said that the King of Sweden agreed not to sell to Russia, or allow her to use, any portion of his kingdom; and that if Russia made any offers for land, the King of Sweden was to tell England and France at once.
England and France, in return for this, promised to help Sweden with men and ships in case of any trouble with Russia.
This treaty is not binding any longer. France has put it aside, and has made friends with Russia on her own account. It would not be possible for her to keep to her agreement if she wished to.
The old agreement being broken, England and Sweden will have to make a new one, to bind them together again.
