Danish Foreign Office transmits following reply:
“The People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs states that he deems it beneath his dignity to reply to question based on absurd rumor and [Page 776] mendacious and defamatory articles in counter revolutionary newspapers. If the Danish Red Cross really wishes to show its indignation in the name of humanity it can find a rich field in drawing attention to the deeds of ferocity committed by the criminal bands of Denikin, Kolchak, Yudenitch and [others].”
