State Department Washington


 My dear MT. Bartlett:
 Reference is made to your letter of March l9, 1947, in which you outlined a request from the Rev. erend Percy Ipalook, of Wales, Alaska, relative to the possibili- ties of developing local trade, pril marily of barter nature, between the ESkimos of Alaska and the ES- kimos of the neighboring areas of the U.S.SR. While the Department of State perceives no objection to a project of this sort, it is neces sary that certain pertinent factors in the situation be outlined. Any type of foreign trade, according to the laws of the U.S.S.R., must be conducted by its state monopoly, and visits of foreigners to the USSR may be accomplished only after the issuance of proper visas for entrance at certain designated border points. The Chukotka pe- ninsula would not be likely to be considered by the Soviet Govern ment as a normal point of ingress.
 The Department is of the opin- ion that an inquiry made of the Soviet Government in regard to this matter would not be likely to lead to fruitful results, for the req sons outlined above, and might in fact induce the Soviet Government 70 increase its surveillance over the enforcement of present from tier regulations in the area in question. Under the circumstances, it is thought that you will agree that although the project has much merit, it would be inadvisable to attempt any action in regard to it. at the present time. It is also to be noted that Soviet frontier, regu,"- tions are normally enforced with severity, and violations of them by
