The Chargé in Denmark ( Perkins ) to the Secretary of State
[Received April 16—9:44 a.m.]
119. Legation’s telegram No. 114, April 13, 1 p.m.,20 last paragraph. I now feel able to state with a feeling of certainty that throughout all classes of the Danish people American action in regard to Greenland has created extreme satisfaction. It is regarded not only as an insurance of Danish sovereign rights therein but as making possible some contribution on the part of Denmark to forces opposed to aggression.
Reliable source informs me that consideration is being given to the passage of a law imposing penalties upon Danish diplomatic officers who fail to act in conformity with instructions.
