Only two weeks ago Germany

Tangled Relations

Only Ones Affected by
Withdrawal Request
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Denmark's request that the United
States withdraw all its consuls by
July Is put relations between the
two countries today on a diplomat
ically unprecedented basis.
The request of the Nazi dominated
Danish government occasioned no
surprise at the State Department
yesterday, but it served to comph-
cate further an already tangled
situation.
The three consuls now assigned to
Copenhagen are the only repre-
sentatives the United States has had
in Denmark since Ray Atherton. the
Minister to Denmark. and his diplo-
matte staff were called home after
the German Army occupied the
country more than a year ago.
Still Has Representation Here.
In the eyes of the State Depart
ment, however, Denmark still has
diplomatic representation here even
though the Copenhagen government
has repudiated the acts of its Min
lister, Henrik de Kaufman. and
formally dismissed him from the
Danish foreign service.
Copenhagen took this action
against Mr.. De Kaufman in mid
April after he had signed an agree
ment with the United States giving
this country defense base facilities
on the Danish island of Greenland.
He was charged with 'misusing" the
name of the King. Christian x.
Mr. De Kaufman announced he
would disregard the Copenhagen
Foreign Office since it was under
duress and the Minister feels it is
his duty to remain here" Danish
consuls here indorsed the decision,
and the State Department informed
the envoy that he would continue
to receive recognition as the repre-
sentative of the Danish people.
Given Less Than Two Weeks.
Denmark request that the United
States withdraw its conSulS followed
the recent Axis requests for with
draWal of such officials from Ger
many. Italy, occupied France. Nor
way. the Netherlands. Belgium,
Luxembourg. Yugoslavia and Greece.
However. whereas Germany and
Italy gave the United States almost
a month in which to arrange the
withdrawal. the Danish request
allows less than two weeks.
The consular officers who must
leave Copenhagen are Consul Cen
eral Lucien Memminger. and Vice
Consuls J. Stanford Edwards and
John A. Lehrs.

the British would like TO have

American people TO acquiesce to it.
The suggestion has been made

might be sent 10 Britain TO take
