Memorandum by the Third Assistant Secretary of State ( Long)
The Chinese Minister called to-day and told me that he had been advised by his Government that they thoroughly sympathized with the statements made by the United States Government in regard to the conditions in the interior of Russia, and said that his Government would like to join this Government in any representations which we made to the Bolsheviki. I told him that probably this Government would make no representations, but that it would be done by the neutrals and that some of them had already done so.
