File No. 861.00/933

The Minister in Norway ( Schmedeman) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

460. A representative of Bolsheviks now in Christiania recently stated that it was the intention of his party to spread their doctrines in Scandinavia with particular energy and that similar efforts would be made in England and the United States as soon as agents could be set to work. So far as this country is concerned I do not think it impossible that there will be considerable Socialist agitation and resulting unrest in a not distant future. Would again call attention to necessity of strict surveillance of immigration into the United States from Russia.

Ambassador at London advised by telegram.

Schmedeman
