241. Am just leaving for Petrograd. Have arranged for forwarding cables. In my judgment Czecho-Slovaks should not be disarmed, consequently am instructing Consulate General to inform Soviet government that the Allies would consider disarmament and severe treatment as inspired by Germany or certainly by hostile sentiment toward the Allies.
