807. My telegram No. 805, October 26, 6 p.m. I have just seen Potemkin with whom I have fully discussed the status of the City of Flint along the lines of the Department’s several telegraphic instructions. I gained the impression that the incident has been embarrassing to the Soviet Government which appears to be disposed to take immediate action probably along the lines of invoking articles XXI and XXII of the Hague Convention of 1907.
