“From the Editor’s desk…”
The following Press Release was received by this newspaper this afternoon, with implicit instructions that it should not be released for general consumption before this evening’s issue. In compliance with these instructions, we hereby print the following……
On behalf of His Majesty, King Christian X,
from The Offices of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and,
The Offices of the Minister for Defence
His Majesty, King Christian X, takes great pleasure in announcing today,
the signing of a Tri-Partite Naval Co-Operation Treaty between
The Royal Danish Navy, The Royal Iberian Navy and The Royal Italian Navy.
It is purpose of this agreement to ensure the sovereignty of The Kingdom of Denmark, which pledges itself to the mutual defence of all signitories, and it is signed following the selfless acts of the navies of both nations during the Nordmark crisis of last year.
In return for basing rights at Denmark’s foreign naval stations, the governments of
Iberia and Italy offer to share their technologies and expertise with relation to military matters, and the use of their foreign naval stations.
God Save the King!
It is the earnest hope of this newspaper that this new agreement will bear fruit,
and we wish the Navy all the best in their new endeavours.
