EXPRESSION OF PEOPLE’S LIFE FOREIGN MODELS NOT WANTED (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) STOCKHOLM, August 5 The Prime Minister of Sweden, M. Hansson, said in a speech that if democracy failed where conditions were unsuitable it did not follow that it must yield where it had become the natural expression of the people’s life, as In Sweden.
