I do not understand why Russian workers continue to work without wages. I am an American with Russian friends in Vladivostok, and they can not explain that to me so that I can understand either. I wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Taylor IV for his friendly letter published Sept. 2. My colleagues and I, former naval officer of Russia, are glad to know that many people in the USA sympathize with the difficult situation in Russia. We have always respected officers of the U.S. navy as to representatives of a great, progressive and democratic country, as high-class professionals who have demonstrated their skill many times over.
Good friendship is said to follow a quarrel.
The period of confrontation between our countries has become history. The sea has made us much alike, and we have a lot to toast, and we could have a good talk at the dinner table. All we have left is to arrange it. We have plenty of ideas to found a club of American and Russian officers who served on the Pacific.
