The Acting Secretary of State to the Commission to Negotiate Peace

1965. Following from Ambassador Morris:

“May 13, 1 p.m. Russian Ambassador has informed me that Ivanoff-Rinoff has been recalled by the Kolchak Government, claims, being in my opinion a victory for general fusion [sic] which might form one of the grounds for recognition of the Omsk Government.”

You will recall that Ivanoff-Rinoff was the Russian Commander in Eastern Siberia who has been responsible for arbitrary and reactionary policies which have been so much complained of by American representatives and liberal Russians.
