Capt. L. G. Palmer, formerly chief
of the bureau of navigation, testi-
fled at the senate probe that Secre-
tary Daniels had ordered him to stop

vestigation of Admiral Fletcher S

funct Lyvoff-Kerensky regime in
Russia, has received orders from
Paris to close up his imitation dip

solemn warning to the world that
they, "the Russian people, would
never acknowledge any peace that
the Entente Powers might make
with the Soviet government.
