The Consul at Vladivostok (Caldwell) to the Secretary of State
[Telegram]
Vladivostok, December 12, 1918, 10 a.m.

337. Department’s December 3, 6 p.m. Several months ago a wireless telegram reported American loan of $5,000,000 to Siberia, which newspapers reaching here a few days later showed was to Liberia instead of Siberia. I believe this telegram was sent from here to Harbin and published there by Committee Public Information, local representative of which is now investigating. I have no doubt this is statement referred to, but consider further correction unnecessary.
