RUSSIAN EMBASSY
WASHINGTON

June 10, 1918.

My dear Mr. Secretary:

I take pleasure in forwarding to you a copy of the
extract of the resolution recently adopted by the Central Com-
mittee of the Constitutional Democratic (Cadet) Party concern-
ing Allied intervention in Russia which has been transmitted
to me by cable from Paris with the request that this message
be respectfully submitted to the President.

I understand that the Cadet Party considers it im-
perative that their loyal feelings be emphasiZed because of
the recent rumors concerning the presumed pro-German views
of the Russian intellectual and well-to-do classes.

I avail myself of this opportunity, my dear Mr. Secretary,
to renew the assurances of my high esteem.

(Signed) B. Bakhmeteff

The Honorable
Mr. Robert Lansing,
Secretary of State.
