Copenhagen, August 21, 1916, midnight.
320. Your 150, August 18, 5 p.m. Minister of Foreign Affairs informs me.
The concession of July 16th, 1915, from the Ministry of Finance to Ejnar Svendsen, as the Government of the United States is aware, does not mention a period for which the concession runs nor the remaining specifications for the execution of the concession, those particulars being regulated by the Government of the islands. In order to furnish the information requested by your Government as quickly as possible, I have ordered today by telegraph the Government of the islands to send if possible by telegram a copy of the conditions on which the execution of the concession has been granted, to the Danish Minister at Washington for further information to your Government.
