Excerpt from Russian-American Relations, March, 1917-March, 1920: Documents and Papers It is axiomatic that upon the re-establishment of normal cul tural, commercial, and political relations with the Russian peo ple depends any adequate solution of the problems of food supply and the revival of industry and trade which involve the whole world. In the belief that the first requisite for the renewal of these essential relationships between the United States and Russia is a fuller knowledge of our Government's Russian policy during the past three years, this Association on August 2, 1919, invited Dr. John A. Ryan, Mr. J. Henry Scattergood, and. Mr. William Allen White to direct a' study of russian-american relations since the overthrow of the tsar.

The result is this volume of documents which, because of its objective and non-partisan character will, we, believe, contribute towards the formation of an enlightened public opinion on this most important aspect of our foreign relations.

This Association plans to conduct, as One of its activities, further investigations of similar character into other phases of our foreign policy.

James G. Mcdonald, Chairman of the League of Free Nations Association.
