Abstract

The Danish Islands Treaty
October 23, 1902 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses international treaties and agreements. The treaty for the sale of the Danish Islands in the West Indies to the United States for the sum of U.S. $5,000,000 is now under consideration in the Landsthing, or upper house, of the Danish Parliament. The treaty was rejected once by that body, but the time for consideration was extended for one year by the American instance. This might be considered by Denmark as a hint from the U.S. that she did not know her own mind, or that, if she he did not finally consent to the sale, U.S. should take the islands by force.
