that this negotiation should bs opened the of
the nth q November in the present year In giving
expression to this wish the Dansh government in
view, not orly the urgency OF the matter in question
regards Denmark but also the consideration that several
Powers ard espeosy those which FROM their geograph
col position might And the period too hand have
little interest In the Sound dues that they would pro
baby deem unnecessary to he represented at the open
ing Of conferences might prefer to be repre-
tented BY some flienoy power.
The Choice OF Copenhagen the seat OF the neroia-
tons is justified by he h.ct that that city is the head
quarters Of all the administrative departments and
minerals arr The Information which would be desirable
Ii the course Of the negotiation.
The Danish government does not conceal from itself
that the step which it has thought itself called upon
take IL such will be likely at first sight to
favorable reception but while it regrets
,hi, i sdara m the hope that II. Rropassls Will only
gard icing had to The position in which Denmark Is at
paced It anticipates that equal justice win be
cone 10 and relies upon the favorable dispositions Of
which the respective Powers have other occasions
given go many proofs. On its side Il will put its hand
to the work with the best Intention animated by the
sincere desire to prove by the result that il has only
view arrangement which viii be equally acceptable
to all.
II only now remains TO add few general observations
upon the manner Of realizing the panof capitalization.
This is not first time that such plan has been
discussed. Although never formally proposed by the
Danish Government 70 the Powers in general il has yet
been made the subject OF discussion with several Cab
nets that 1t may be concluded that in principle it
contains nothing which il new 10 the Powers interested
or which stands In NJ ed Of detailed explanation Neither
does 1t seem necessary at the present moment to 60
into examination Of the different bases Of capaliza
titn which viii have to he considered. The Danish Go
yernment although naturally willing to contribute its
quota to the capitalization, will not anticipate the ideas
which IL Of 40 Tea
participate As s sole desire that conclusion equally
acceptable 70 al should be arrived at it docs not prov
ded this end should be attained give the preference
any particular msnner of proceeding.
1t would not however, TO superuous to give sketch
the basis Of ca itazaton which the Danish govern
al n vrif tha
nature # the to be capitalized and the adoption
of which would, n It's opinion render the quota 70 be
contributed ny the respective Powers the most fairly
proportional TO the pro rata toll levied upon their
merce.
The Sound dues and those of the Belts are partly levied
upon the ship and partly upon the cargo. The Last
toned tolls constitute the true Sound while in the
rst category included the charges for lighthouses
&c. Formerly The idea was mooed OF adophng, the
exclusive basis Of capitalization the nationality Of ships
passing the straits, but it is evident that this plan
would be unjust seeing that the number Of vessels
the Pets by no means represents the quota which
that nation contributes to the t6ll which is Levied
principally upon merchandise This quota would
te arrived at in tho farest manner by taking
basis the quantity of merchandise which has passed
the Sound and the Belts In adopting this basis might
for example, be agreed that the respective States Den
mark included, should contribute in proportion to the
quantity Of merchandise exported from thec shores and
imported into the paltic. passing the Straits, else
ported by the way from the Baltic in order to be
imported nio their harbors rice rersd BY combining
such basis as this with that of the lily OF the
vessels in such that the compensation 10 be
paid TO denmark should BE- calculated regards the
vetahe Sound Dues according to the merchandise and
TO tie direct imports exports Of each state in merchan
disc which shall pass the Sound and the Belts and
CARDS the lighthouse and other charges according to the
lag the nearest approach would probably be made to
tie just and equitable solution OF problem the complete
solution of which VIII always present the greatest diff
cultes.
In placing these papers at the disposition of the espec
tive cabinets the Lanish expresses the hope
that they will be treated with all that discretion which
the delicate nature Of the subject demands.
