Whether this note will serve as an
official reply to the communication of
Secretary OF State Hughes Is not
known, but 1t makes the first official
dealings between an American official
and the Bolsheviki in Riga.
A number of diplomats and several
American business men here have ex-
pressed views differing widely from
those held in Senator France relative to
the honesty and efficiency of the Boil
sheviki. The Senator said he would
fight for a resumption OF Russo Amerl-
| can relations and the extension OF credit
to Russia. He still thought that the
Third Internationale would not harm
America and that assistance for Russia
would relieve the conditions which
caused revolution. He estimated that the
credit necessary for Russia's immediate
needs would amount to $4,000. 900 900,
which he thought should be in the form
OF an outright loan to the Russian Gov
ernment instead OF an advance on con-
cessions

Senator France from Riga to Moscow
