Denmark Signs Up

What is the significance of Denmark's adherence to the Anti-Comintern Pact? None whatever, if one ate to believe the Danish Foreign Office, which in an official apologia points out that the pact "demands no political obligations from the kingdom" and declares that Denmark's non-belligerent status is in no way affected. According to reliable information from private Danish sources, however, the signing of the pact involves more than mere lip-service. A few weeks ago the Germans presented excessive demands to the Danish government, even asking it to join the war against Russia and to put into the field an army of, it is reported, 200,000 men, an almost incredible figure, since for Denmark's population it would be the equivalent of a U.S. force of 7,400,000 men.
