Uy Lord,
I have the honour to transmit to Your
Lordship herewith copies of correspondence with
the Danish Minister in Washington regarding his
creation of "The American-Danish Greenland
Commission" in order to assist the Government of
Greenland in purchasing necessary supplies in
the United States.
2. When this announcement was made public,
a spokesman for the Danish Legation is reported
to have said that the Commission would be self-
financing, largely through Greenland exports,
and that its main tasks would be "coordination
and shipping*.
3. I am sending a copy of this despatch
to the High Commissioner for the United Kingdom
at Ottawa. y<
I have the honour to be,
with the highest respect,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
(3015)    LOT HI Ait
The aight Honourable
The Viscount Halifax, K.G. ,
etc.,        etc., etc. " ¦*+
