Hjalmar Christian Hauge called on Second Assistant Secretary of State Adee to advocate for the recognition of Norway as an independent nation following the action of the Storting on June 7 to dissolve the union with Sweden. Adee had explained to Hauge that action would be unlikely until Secretary of State Elihu Root had taken office. Adee cautions President Roosevelt that the question may also be raised if the credentials of the new minister from Sweden suggest representation of both Sweden and Norway.
