EMBARGO POLICIES
Responsible Danish Authorities De-
cline to Discuss the Subject While
Negotiations Are Pending.

Copenhagen, Oct. 25.-Danish off,
Gals are reticent concerning the re-
cent American statement in regard to
embargo policies. Responsible au-
thorities decline to discuss the sub
ject while negotiations in Washing
ton are pending, but express the hope
that the Danish CONNIE rcial delegates
may succeed in making some ar
engagements with the United States.
The newspapers published the
American statement more or less
fully, but have shown more Or less
restraint in discussing the subject,
manifesting their opinion for the
most part only by occasional head
lines over Washington dispatches.
In the business world, however,
the opinion is expressed freely that
Denmark must and will maintain it's
export trade as long possible. The
pressure Of the agrarian classes to
continue the export trade of farm
products, of course, is also strong
The urban population, which is begin
ming to feel the pinch in obtaining
pork, butter and lard, is steadily
growing more insistent upon some re-
strictions which will insure for them
an adequate supply Of such food prod
ucts at prices within their reach
The government has just effected
an arrangement with the butter pro-
ducers and dealers, reserving ap-
proximately 100000 pounds Of but
ter for sale to the population weekly
at price Of two crowns a pound
The government will pay the differ
ence between this and the market
price, which is 20 to 25 per cent
higher. This arrangement, however,
is recognized as being merely tenn
porary until a rationing system for
butter, lard and pork is put into eff
feet probably December 1.
