Objection to Weakening Line in Siberia Policy
Washington July 10 The remarkable success of the Czecho-Slovak regions in stabilizing Siberia has stalled entente plans for an international force. The United States objected to any plan that would weaken the western front in Europe. Authorities say aid to Russia will continue in economic rehabilitation and supplies will be shipped, with the expedition staff being chosen. The Allies will provide support while remaining neutral, as the Czecho-Slovaks fight alongside Allied forces against Germany under Masaryk's leadership.
