- The following note by the Chief of the Division of European Affairs was penned upon this telegram: “This telegram was sent Wed[nesday] morning (Washington time) some seven hours before our 194 to Moscow [infra] was despatched. The inference is inevitable that the Finnish Minister here made a report that was none too accurate following his talk with the P[residen]t Tuesday night. P[ierrepont] M[offat].”↩
