DENIES STORY OF HUN
OFFERS TO DENMARK
Danish Legation Says Foreign
Minister Never Stated Germany
Made Land Proposals.

Denial that Foreign Minister
Scavenius of Denmark ever declared
Germany approached Denmark during
the war with proposals in regard to
the return of Danish portions Of
Schleswig-Holstein, was made by the
Danish legation here last night. The
exact quotation of the foreign minis.
ter follows:
When during the war anxiety arose
in this country, that the war should
forever deprive the Danish people Of
their hope Of reunion with the Danish
population in Slesvig, and questions
the possibility of obtaining support
from the Norwegian and Swedish gov
ernments to enter into such negotia-
tons with the German government
about the frontier question, l declined
to consider this plan. AS / have al
ready had opportunity to say at the
secret meeting of parliament, my in
sistent view has always been that If
Denmark did enter into such negotia-
lions counter claims might be present.
ed from Germany, which we would
have to regard as incompatible with
our position as an Independent and
neutral state.
even if it were conceivable that our
position in this respect would be
eased by support from Norway and
Sweden, the fact still remained that
the allies would be unable to under
stand or accept such negotiations
during the war, and that they would
therefore be Incompatible with Den
marks policy of neutrality. Negoti-
atoms have therefore not taken
place."
