Memorandum by the Secretary of State

The Minister of Denmark came in to inquire about an item in the New York Times this morning to the effect that it was rumored that this Government might seek a peace convocation to be held at Copenhagen. I assured the Minister that that question was not under discussion or consideration at all at present, and that neither Copenhagen nor any other capital had been referred to in that connection and hence there was no basis whatever for the newspaper item.
