File No. 711.5914/72
The Danish Minister to the Acting Secretary of State
According to a cablegram received this morning, the Danish Government, before cabling me full powers to sign treaty, desires to receive an official statement from you to the effect that your acceptance of our proposition includes that the declaration regarding Greenland in the text agreed upon and sent you with my letter of July 18, will be given to me simultaneously with the signature of the treaty and they also desire that before signature an agreement should be reached regarding the time when the treaty should be submitted to the respective legislative bodies of the two countries. On this point I did already ask for your intention in my letter of July 18. These two points should already have been mentioned in my telegram to you of July 26 regarding four enclosures but the corresponding part of the cablegram received by me had disappeared in transmission of which I could not be aware until today when the cablegram was repeated to me. I may add that the Danish Parliament is at present in session but I do not know for how long.
