[Telegram]
Washington, February 26, 1918, 3 p.m.

6683. Please inform the Foreign Office orally that the Department is in receipt of a telegram from Vladivostok from a reliable American army officer who has spent some time traveling in eastern Siberia investigating conditions there. He reports that the Russian population would be most decidedly unfriendly to the entry of Japanese troops unless accompanied by other Allied forces.
