Memorandum for the Under Secretary of State:
Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith a memorandum prepared in the Division of Russian Affairs on the subject of the so-called Bolshevist or Communist Party in Russia and its relations to the Russian Soviets and to the Third International. The material presented is from original sources, including the utterances of the Bolsheviks themselves, extracts from their party organs, and extracts from the official press and wireless messages of the Soviets and the publications of the Third International. A knowledge of the facts which the memorandum discloses is essential to an understanding of the Russian situation, especially in its international bearings, and I believe that it would be in the public interest to publish the memorandum and distribute it as widely as practicable.
