File No. 711.5914/69
The Danish Minister to the Secretary of State
Your telegram July 27th conveying official acceptance of text of treaty received yesterday evening. Replying your question would say that the words “capitals allotted to the churches” and the corresponding words in the Danish text of Article II do not mean investments made by the churches but sums of money set aside for the use and benefit of the churches. I would be much obliged if you would cause proofs of the final English and Danish texts to be sent to me as soon as possible and I am of course ready to come to Washington in this connection if desired.
