1t was stated at the state depart

the nearness Of the bolshevist acfivi-
ties in the Baltic states had made it
important that some protection be
within their reach.
Some of them are officials of this

others are commercial representa-

ness relations with the anti-bolshevist
states and their nationals.
There still was no indication that
