　Excellency,
  With a view to liquidating once for all the system of perpetual lease which originated in former treaties between Denmark and Japan, I have the honour, under instructions from my Government, to confirm to Your Excellency the following understanding between the Royal Danish Government and the Imperial Japanese Government:


(一)前記永代借地制度ハ昭和十七年四月一日即チ千九百四十二年四月一日ニ終止スベク其ノ際永代借地権ハ何等ノ補償ナク日本国法令ノ規定ニ従ヒ所有権ニ轉換セラルベシ右轉換ハ永代借地及其ノ上ニ存スル建物ニ対スル登録税ノ賦課ナクシテ行ハルベシ

(1)That the said system of perpetual leases shall come to an end on the first day of the fourth month of the seventeenth year of Showa, corresponding to the 1st day of April, 1942, when the leaseholds shall without compensation be converted into the rights of ownership in accordance with the provisions of Japanese laws and ordinances. Such conversion shall be effected free of registration taxes in respect of lands under perpetual leases and buildings thereon.


(二)昭和十七年三月三十一日即チ千九百四十二年三月三十一日迄免税ニ關スル現状ハ維持セラルベク且紛議アリタル租税ニシテ未ダ徴収セラレズ滯納ト為リ居ルモノニ対シテハ日本国當局ニ依リ此ノ上納税ヲ要求セラルルコトナカルベシ

(2)That until the thirty-first day of the third month of the seventeenth year of Showa, corresponding to the 31st day of March, 1942, the present position as regards tax exemptions shall be maintained, and no further claims shall be made by the Japanese authorities for arrears of such disputed taxes as may still be uncollected.


　本使ハ閣下ニ於テ右了解ヲ確認セラレンコトヲ希望スルト共ニ茲ニ重テ閣下ニ向テ敬意ヲ表シ候　敬具

　While requesting Your Excellency to be good enough to confirm the above understanding, I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurance of my highest consideration.
