Svenska Kuriren — The Swedish Government and Parliament Against Emigration (1908)
“ Another speaker said that the population of Sweden should be at least nineteen million, and now we have only five million. Still another member of the parliament thought that the Society could not do much to prevent the emigration with or without the appropriation. he said that it was for the good of young men if they spent a couple of years in America. Finally, another member said that the social condition must be reformed in Sweden before we fight against emigration, and that the value of men should be recognized instead of money when laws are instituted. ”
