The Commission to Negotiate Peace to the Acting Secretary of State

Paris, September 19, 1919, 9 p.m.
[Received 11:40 p.m.]

4280. Referring telegrams from Cole, Archangel, repeated to the Department by Embassy, London, under numbers 290367 and 297268 and to Department’s inquiry communicated by Ambassador Davis,69 the Council of Four is not contemplating any measures to study [steady?] or support popular movement in Archangel district. It is unlikely that this subject will be approached by the Peace Conference as I believe this question should be handled by the Foreign Offfice[s]. Believe it would be well to give publicity to the nature and [Page 663] accomplishment of Zemstvo and Municipal Assembly in Archangel as set forth in Cole’s reports.
