Bakhmeteff Accused Of Divert
ing kerensky Moneys to
Own Welfare.
~ international News Service.

The charge that Boris Bakhme-
teff. so-called Russian Ambassador.
has diverted to his private use
money he received from the United
States as the representative of the
defunct Kerensky government. was
made in the Senate today by Sena-
tor Borah, OF Idaho.
Borah alleged that he had re-
ceived documentary evidence that
Bakhmeteff had invested heavily
in real estate in New York city and
Chicago, and he demanded that the
Russian come out from under
the false and fraudulent cover he
was hiding behind"
Puzzled by Recognition.
Borah reviewed the rise and fall OF
the Kerensky government In Russia
and the sending Of Bakhmeteff to
Washington as the representative Of
that government.
II cannot conceive. with all due
respect to the opinion OF the Secre-
tary of State, how a man can be rec.
ognized as the ambassador OF gov
ernment that no longer exists"
Borah added. 1T is certainly indis.
putable that the Kerensky govern.
mept no longer exists, and has been
replaced by the Soviet government.
which many other nations have
either recognized or are doing busi.
ness with, even II our government
still persists in It's refusal to do So
THE Kerensky government fell
in May. 1917. and vet we are told
that Bakhmeteff. it's representative.
is still the Russian ambassador to
Washington and as such Is entitled
to all diplomatic immunities and
privileges, although he himself will
doubtless not deny that he does not
represent in any way the present
Soviet government OF Russia.
I'm other. words, Bakhmeteff is
the so-called ambassador OF a gov.
ernment that disa ppeared five years
ago. that no longer EXISTS. But l
do not intend myself to subscribe 10
the wholly fallscious and specious
argument that Bakhmeteff Ia still
entitled to recognition as the Rus
sion ambassador. Who or what, may
I ask. does he represent besides him
self and whatever strange interests
are associated with himf Certainly
n cannot be said that ne represent Is
the Russian people or the Soviet
government. which. II cannot be
denied, Ia the present existent gov
ernment OF Russia and her people.
Asks About Funds.
Borah said that II was difficult
70 anaiy.e the influences which per-
mitted eemenoff to enter this coun-
try. but the fact remained that when
ssnenoff reached Washington he
was cordially welcomed by Bakh-
meteff.
