The Secretary of State to the Consul at Vladivostok (Macgowan)
Washington, June 3,
1921—6 p.m.
You are to assume the duties of American representative on the Inter-Allied Committee July 1, taking over charge from Smith on June 30. This assignment is in addition to your duties as Consul, with no additional compensation. The Department does not believe that these duties will occupy much of your time, and expects you to consult and follow the advice of Mr. John F. Stevens in all important matters which come before the Committee. Stevens is now en route to Harbin.
