tration the hope to get the Danish
people to accept.
Whether the Germans are willing
to modify their still drastic regu-
lations in Denmark to an extent
acceptable to the king is problem
atical.
Christian is not expected to take
any formal stand until German
General Hermann Won Hannecken
submits a definite governing pro-
posal. And until the king makes
his statement, Danes outside the
country are not expected to make
any further moves toward form
ing a free Danish government af-
filiated with the United Nations.
In this connection, the action
of Johan C. W. Kruse, Danish
minister to Stockholm, who is re-
puted to have close personal con-
nections with Christian, in declar-
ing himself independent of h S
Nazi-ruled country was n o t ed
here.
Sabotage continued throughout
Denmark today, but on a smaller
scale than previously as the Danes
hung to their passive resistance
program.
Air traffic was resumed between
Stockholm, Copenhagen and Ber-
lin today, and refugees arriving
in Sweden said few if any Nazi
soldiers could be seen patrolling
the streets of Copenhagen.
Last Monday, the German min
lister, Werner Best, who is han
ding civil functions under General
Won Hannecken, asked the direc-
tors general and departmental
chiefs to continue their duties.
They agreed because the Germans
had no staff to take over the ad-
ministration.
However, when Best asked the
directors. and departmental chiefs
to issue a proclamation APPROX
ing the German action they re-
fused fatty and also spurned a
German proposal to form new
government.
Any consideration of forming a
Danish free government also has
been Handicapped by the lack of
Danish political leaders who are
outside Denmark. Some had plan
ned to escape to Sweden but the
Germans started arresting them
even before the military dictator
ship was announced.
Besides the conservative Chris
mas Moeller, who is president of
the Danish council of London, the
only other outstanding political
figure outside Denmark now is c..
V. Bramsnaes, o rmer finance
minister, who has been visiting in
Finland. He came here today and
is expected to confer with Kruse.
General Won Hannecken's efforts
to establish a new government
also are Handicapped by the fact
he and Best know no Quisling
would be acceptable to King Chris
