The government has taken advantage of the low valuta to buy own buildings for the legations in several capitals, and the offices in these pla­ ces have been furnished with old pieces of a rt and fu rn i­ ture, partly taken from mu­ seums in Copenhagen. It may be mentioned, that the Foreign Office publishes a monthly paper, printed in Danish, containing inform a­ tions of economic and com­ mercial interest besides the re­ ports from the legations and consulates of importance to Danish trade. Besides this another month­ ly paper is published, the »Danish Foreign Office J o u r­ nal«, which

j now is installed in Christi- j ansborg Palace, has there : nearly a hundred rooms at its disposal. The main-department, com­ prising the political-commer­ cial departments, is directed by a departmentSidireetor, and, besides these, juridical departments and a pressbu- reau have been established. The representation of Den­ m ark abroad with reference to the new law is not as yet complete, b u t it is the inten­ tion gradually, according to the experience, to establish new representations a t the places, where legations have proved to be necessary.
