194. There is no truth in reports which have appeared in the press that a large part of General Wrangel’s troops will be sent to Siberia by the Japanese to reenforce anti-Bolshevik forces there. Both Japanese High Commissioner and General Wrangel’s staff deny this report and state that it is possible that a small number of Russians, possibly as many as 4,000 who originally came from Siberia, will be sent back to Vladivostok. At present no ships or funds are available for this purpose.
