File No. 861.00/2895
The Chargé in Denmark ( Grant-Smith) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10.55 p.m.]
2876. Referring to my 2833 of September 27, 10 a.m.,1 and 2830, September 26, 2 p.m.2 The Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs informs me that his Government is inclined to adopt the view of their Minister at Petrograd who suggests in view of the strong collective protest made by the neutral representatives at the capitol under date of the 5th September3 with which the German Consul General associated himself against the imprisonment en masse of persons of all ages and both sexes and the daily summary executions indulged in by the soldiers of the Red Army and the fact that the reign of terror is steadily subsiding, that the Danish Government should take no further action of that character for the moment. He suggests, however, that the Allied Governments and the United States might associate themselves with the démarche of the 5th ultimo, the text of which I am sending by pouch together with Chicherin’s reply, and the protest of the Diplomatic Corps against the violation of the British Embassy building with its attendant outrages.4
