[Enclosure—Telegram]
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the South
Russian Government (Struve) to the Russian Ambassador (Bakhmeteff)
The Commander-in-Chief and the Government of South Russia have
learned with great satisfaction of the views of the Government
of the United States relative to Russia as expressed in the note
of the Secretary to the Italian Ambassador. The main principles
of this declaration, viz; the repudiation of the Bolshevist
regime and the endeavor to safeguard the territorial integrity
of Russia, corresponds with the aspirations of the Russian
Nationalist circles. These precepts are fully those which
inspired the Government of South Russia and constitute its
political program. Will you kindly communicate the above to the
Secretary of State and express the most sincere gratitude of the
Commander-in-Chief and the Government of South Russia for the
valuable support which the United States is giving to the
Russian national cause.
