The Acting Secretary of State to the Commission to Negotiate Peace
Washington, March 27,
1919, 4 p.m.
1315. Your 1285 March 23rd, 3 am. Since American troops entered Vladivostok this Government has been lending good offices to Russian Embassy in shipping Russian rifles and boots, consigned to General Ivanoff-Rinoff for use of Russian forces on Volga front and in Siberia. As you are aware, in our efforts to aid the Czecho-Slovak armies it seemed proper to cooperate in measures to strengthen the Russians who were acting with them.
