BRITISH APOLOGY
BOMBING DANISH PORT, RESPONSIBILITY ACCEPTED (Heed. Sept. 7, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Sept, 6. The Ministry of Information says that the British Minister in Denmark has been instructed to apologise for the unfortunate bombing of Esbjerg on Monday. Stringent inquiries are being established. None of the aircraft raiding naval bases was responsible, but since Denmark states that the ibombs were of British make Britain had no alternative but to accept the responsibility. It is explained that bombs which fell on Esbjerg from a British plane were intended for a German pursuit plane which was trying to engage the British craft in an air battle.
