Hoover Answer Could Satisfy Soviet Authorities
State Department officials in Washington believed Hoover’s reply might satisfy Soviet officials over the Russian Americans release issue. They expected relief measures to be possible once Americans are freed. Some thought Russia might trade freedom for the release of radicals in U.S. custody, while others held that famine and economic failure push Moscow toward releasing the Americans with Hoover’s conditions in mind.
