1679. Referring to Department’s 1459 dated April 5th 4 p.m. Department does not consider the Murmansk agreement as binding in [Page 630] regard to Archangel Government. However, it carries with it a certain degree of moral obligation on the part of this Government. In case it should be decided to participate in the proposed policies submitted by the British Government this Department is unable to determine from what source the necessary funds are to be obtained. Please inform the Department as to your views arid the course of action to be followed.
