ABSTRACT
AFTER THE COLLAPSE of the Russian Tsarist government and the conclusion of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, the expedition of troops to Siberia became a subject of general discussion. By March, 1918, keen interest was manifested on all sides, but the consensus of opinion was opposed to any undertaking of an expedition to Siberia at this time.1 As the subject assumed larger political and diplomatic importance, government censorship of the press on foreign relations became more outspoken and rigid.2
