The President of the Technical Board (Stevens) to the Secretary of State

Harbin, April 23, 1920—4 p.m.
[Received April 23—10:15 a.m.]

Your cable of April 19, 3 p.m. I can have 65 members of Service Corps ready to leave Vladivostok May 10. It is necessary in view of the difficulties we are meeting with in the evacuation Czechs that we retain the balance of Corps until all Czechs have arrived Vladivostok. The efforts of the Corps furnished the only reasons upon which successful evacuation of the Czechs can be expected. Please advise as to transport.

Stevens
