My dear Mr. President

Allow me to bring to your attention a telegram from Admiral Knight to the Navy Department, dated June 26th, which gives a more complete statement regarding the aims and plans of the Czecho-Slovak troops than that contained in the telegram from the American Consul at Vladivostok which you have already seen.
Admiral Knight's report seems to present with some definiteness the question of Czecho-Slovak operations against German and Austrian prisoners of war in Siberia and the attitude of this Government and the Allies. I have not been inclined to attach weight to Major Drysdale's conclusions in the past, but in this matter which the Admiral reports, his views are endorsed by Mr. Langdon Warner who is conservative and sound and whom I regard as a reliable observer.

Faithfully yours,
Robert Lansing.

Enclosure:
Copy of telegram from Admiral Knight.



The President,
The White House.
