File No. 861.00/2251
The Minister in Sweden ( Morris ) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 12, 9.55 a.m.]
2459. A committee representing the Esthonian government called upon me yesterday and gave me copy of a protest which they have made to Berlin covering their grievances and their aims and desires. They state that the Esthonian people are entirely dissatisfied with the German situation in Esthonia and hope to find a way to be rid of same. One of their representatives, Ferdinand Kull, desires to proceed to America to confer direct regarding these matters. They already have representatives in France and England, and this the British Minister has confirmed to me. After conferring with the British Minister here, we both feel it would be a good thing to allow this man to proceed to America. He desires to go via England, and I request authority to permit him to proceed.
