The Commission to Negotiate Peace to the Secretary of State
[Received July 31, 5:25 a.m.]
3399. Your 2618, July 23, 8 p.m.45 American Mission’s information is that recent crisis at Archangel has strengthened British determination to evacuate completely and quickly. As this would probably involve complete collapse of Archangel Government, proposed plan for appointment of Governor General for North Russia no longer has much interest. American Mission has taken no action in the matter and in any case does not see what action could be taken by United States Government or American Mission except possibly friendly advice by Cole to local authorities should occasion offer.
