The Commissioner at Riga ( Young ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 6:47 p.m.]
17. Department’s May 26, 2 p.m. In absence of any previous arrangements deportees not likely to be permitted land in Esthonia and doubtful whether permission could be obtained in view of strong Bolshevik influence now in Esthonia which would regard favorable action in the matter by Esthonian Government as assisting us in our efforts against Bolshevism. If permission to land accorded, rail journey Reval to frontier would probably be made without trouble or untoward incident but admission to Soviet Russia dependent on decision Moscow.
