‘The news appearing in the press that Admiral McCully in an interview with me promised aid from the American Government to the Government of South Russia and even requested a list of needed articles is entirely different from the truth. The interview of McCully with me referred to question of trade exchange and no list was furnished to the Admiral. Signed Bernatski, countersigned Struve.’
