Victoria has already stirred up squabble among the memo tional Swedes and has injected new element into the 1979 elections here Under Swedens existing con stitution only male diild can inherit the Swedish crown but there are moves now to open the way to female succasion Swedens large Social Demo cratic party which stands chance of regaining power at the 1979 dections has been warned it will risk losing at the polls if it opposes the i$ue of female succession The political stir cuts across party social and generation lines And by implication it re flects upon monarchies in other democracies where inherited privilege and wealth are com ing under increasingly sharp scrutiny In Sweden as elsewhere the monarchical isue touches upon vibrant national nerve and the subject is not susceptible to logic or political loyalties Under 44 years of Social Democratic rulewhich ended last autumn when Premier Thorbjoern Faelldin took over the Swedish royal family was allowed to melt im perceptibly into the ackground The Social Democratic hope apparently was that it would eventually fade out through sheer neglect ISSUE REVIVEI But the royal family issue came to the fore again when Heidelbergborn Silvia Som merlath married King Carl Gustaf inaugurating an era in which the king set out to become an earnest democratic young ruler in tune with the modern age it rose again to the forefront of the national consciousness when Prinoem Victoriafull name Victoria Ingrid Alice Dc sireewas born on July 15 to the 33yearold queen It touched off speculation that she might become the first ruling een in the thryear history of Bemadottedynasty Falledin who defeated the Social Democrats at the polls last September and heads middleoftheroad coalition will need every vote he can gar ner to win the 1979 elections His personal popularity has waned and public support is eb bing under the impact of bad economic news high inflation the threat of rising unemploy ment and poor export pros pects FAVORSCIIANGE Recogninng that small but nationally emotive imue might tip the balance Faelldin has al ready said he favors mon archy for both sexes His statement appears to re spond to broad popular senti ment and his governmait is ex pected to introduce bit later this year amending the con stitution to permit female suc Cission But any amendment to the constitution must be en dorsed by two parliaments with national elections in bet ween Arguments about the royal is sue are already getting mud dled The Royalists argue that equality in Sweden means uality for man or woman to erit the crown The Social Democrats and other leftwingers Progresswes and youth goqps argue that equality means at the monar chy which they see as in herited inequality iS glar infianomaly Sweden where national wealth is more evenly divided than in most countries and where anyone can pry into his neigbbors income which is public equality usually wins the day Even the man appointed by the former Social Democratic government to inquire into the succession issue warns the left wing not to underrate the issue lngvar Lindell who heads the parliamentary commission of inquiry called the monarchy an appendage to state admin istration an anomaly in democracy fundamental inequality But he added that if major ity of Swedes want it then in the name of democracy it should be retained The Social Democrats should not jeopard ize an election victory in 1979 by sticking to their earlier line on thisissuehesaid The leading conservative daily Svenska Dagbladet wrote It is unreasonable to exclude princess from the succe$ion How unreasonable is demonstrated by the way in which three reigning monarchs in EuropeQueen Elizabeth Queen Juliana and Queen Margrethe perform their duties The Social Democrats seem already to have decided that discretion is the better part of electoral valor Lars Engqvist chatnnan of the partys youth movement said The Social Democrats must win votes in the next elec tion They will do so on essen tial issues not on whether boy or girl should be the mon arch But even if Princess Victoria does become queen by the time she comes of age at the end of this

caught the unmistakable glitter of tinselled card rapid check of my not altogether reliable memory bank a$ured me that it really was still preThanksgiving and that scarcely leaf had left the trees at least in my yard So the sight of bank of cards bearing glowing candles chuckling Santas and Canadian pines against blue sky was unnerving to say the least furtive check proved that they werent even pretending to be those discreet little numbers that we are supposed to send to far flung friends and relations in midNovember These were blatant Chirstmas cards Surely this could not be reflection on our postal service Mail now for guaranteed delivery some time in December Doubtless holly wreaths gla$ baubles and plastic poinsettas are lurking beneath the counters ready to spring forth in abundance the second the pumpkins disappear Ihave to admit that am not Christmas addict In fact my nearest and dearest have been known to mutter Bah Humbug knowingly in my direction when the subject arises suppose it might have something to do with my Scottish background along with the sneaky suspicion that am being taken for glorious commercial ride It isnt just Christmas though is it This seasonal madness has gradually taken over Easter bunnies abound in January and Halloween witches stalk the aisles in August wouldnt mind so much if it was confined to greeting cards but have you ever tried to buy pair of mitts in February did last year battled fearlessly through bikinis and halter to fought my way over mountains of summer san dals an sorted hopefully through bins of endofline sun specials To no avail Every last pair of fully washable 100 per cent virgin synthetic mitts had mysteriously disap peared Perhaps they were basking on some sunlit beach in the south of France ready to appear again looking fit and well in early July My son wore two left gloves of varying colors through until April suppose the conclusion is inevitable In few years we will be able to buy Christmas cards in April and pick up couple of Halloween specials at the same time it is confusingfor simple souls like me though think Ill just go back to rowsing through my spring catalogues but may be the very first to wish you all Happy Mothers Day 1978 Pollys Einters No grease Lt for angel food DEAR POLLY have been told not to bake an angel food cake in pan that has been reased and used for other
