DENMARK GETTING
TOGETHER ON ISSUE
10 Prevent Long Delay in Rah-
f1cae1on of Sale of Islands.

Copenhas~n. via London, Aug. 10.
The Socialist party adopted a reso-
luton in a caucus today expressing
its willingness to be represented IN
a coalition cabinet in order not to
prevent the sale of the Danish West
Indies to the United. States. It was
stipulated in the resolution, however,
chat this action would be taken only
on condition that the home and fore
ign defense policy of the new cabinet
should remain unchanged.
As the opposition, the conservative
and left parties, Is unwilling to &C
cept this condition. this means that a
coalition ministry is impossible.
The formation Of q coalition cabi-
net representing the various Danish
parties was suggested by the Dan
ish premier to avoid the holding oil
general elections for both Houses OF
Parliament and to enable the gov
eminent to hold a plebiscite on the
question of the sale of the islands.
A member OF the government party
has asserted that the holding OF q
general election would delay the rat
ificatton of the treaty with the United
States three months or more.
