The Chargé in Denmark ( Schoenfeld ) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 11, 12:27 a.m.]
302. My telegram number 301, December 10, 11 [10] a.m. In conformity with action of British, French and Italian Legations, I am returning Litvinoff’s note with a statement that I am not authorized to receive communications of this character from him. This decision was based on the ground that Litvinoff’s mission here was directing [sic] in connection with exchange of prisoners and that his attempt to open peace negotiations [is a?] violation of ruling under which he was allowed to come to Denmark.
