Many Danes accepted this propo-

ground that they had no authority
from their owners to accept the
arrangement and that they feared
lest the owners and their families

representatives in the United States
have not been made aware formally
of the present effort to get these
ships out OF Danish hands and to
put them to work in the business of

However, the British Embassy held
long conversations with the Danish
Minister here in April in the interest
of transferring the Danish ships to
British control for the duration of
the war.
The proposition put by the Brit
ish at that time was that Danish
captains move their ships from neu-

attending members of both House
