The Secretary of State to the Commissioner at Riga (Young)
Washington, September
11, 1920—6 p.m.
51. Your 141, September 7, 2 p.m.
You may informally communicate in writing to Esthonian authorities that the visit of American vessels is without any international significance and that their presence in the Baltic does not in any sense constitute a hostile demonstration against any regime or government.
Have you any reason to believe that inquiries as to vessels and as to appointment of American Consul Reval (see your 126, August 27, 9 p.m.) were result of Bolshevik influence?
