srnI Hope 10 Buy IndSeA-
The government bsre does nut regard The
uuertiun q the cessiun Of the DBnish West
Indies rs closed by any means. i Is sHid
that certainly the negotiations have nc:
been closed by Euy act q ths United States
and II Denmark has halted IN the transfer
Il wRE because Of internal consideration
which cuuld be closed only by the Danish
government Technically the United States
had n~sFuuEted 4 treaty with Denmark for
the session Of the hlHDds and not until
next June could the time allowed for raj
thrHtion expire.
At any time before that the Danish gov
eminent WIS free to rhtify the agreement
End as that has already been du2e by the
United States senate, the negotiation
would close with success II e BdmtnisrrH-
tiun Is practically assured that the treaty
could net again be ratified by the senate as
II stands, owing 10 objections to its form
rather than TO the principle involved, and
tins probably viii be the last opportunity
Denmark viii hive 10 effect TIE sale updei
these conditions.
