PARIS, MAY 20 (Morning).
The Constitutionnel of to-day in an article upon
the Danish question says
The Dano-German conflict is above all a ques-
tion of nationalities. The aspirations and interests
of the nationalities which gave rise t 3 the conflict
should, therefore, be satisfied by a definitive solu-
tion. Holstein is German, and half of Schleswig is
German. It is therefore not astonishing that a
project exists to unite the German portion of
Schleswig with Holstein."
The Constitutionnel then shows the inconveniences
that would arise from the system of a personal union
between that new state and Denmark, and con-
cludes :

It appears difficult to understand why the
populations should not be summoned to decide upon
alGovernment, and it is probable that they would
then choose a German Sovereign. France has done
nothing to bring about this solution, but it is evi-
dent that it is not in opposition to her policy."
