U.S. AIDED RESCUE OF CZAR NICHOLAS, BRITISH HINT
|
|

NEW YORK, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- British government documents which
|
|
recently were placed in the public record office in London
|
|
indicate that President Woodrow Wilson backed a secret mission to
|
|
Russia which may have resulted in the rescue of Czar Nicholas and
|
|
his family in 1918.
|
|
|
|
The documents, copies of which have been received by researchers
|
|
in New York, state that the U.S. government placed $75,000 at the
|
|
disposal of Sir William Wiseman, a partner in the New York
|
|
banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. It asked the British government
|
|
to make a like contribution to the "scheme" which is linked to
|
|
other documents still in secret British files.
|
|
|
|
-+- 3 Months After Abdication -+-
|
|
|
|
A document carrying notations indicating British cooperation had
|
|
the approval of Lord Hardinge of Penshurst, then permanent under-
|
|
secretary of state for foreign affairs, is dated June 20, 1917,
|
|
three months after Nicholas' abdication.
|
|
|
|
It was addressed to Sir Eric Drummond, then secretary to Lord
|
|
Balfour, secretary of state for foreign affairs. A June 25
|
|
document signed by Drummond says $75,000 was placed to Wiseman's
|
|
credit at the Morgan bank by the British government.
|
|
|
|
Recent research indicates that the Bolsheviks "faked" the
|
|
execution of the Romanov family in Ekaterinburg on July 29, 1918.
|
|
They allowed the Romanovs to go to a Russian port where they were
|
|
to be picked up by an allied ship. At least one, and perhaps
|
|
several American agents have been placed in the area of these
|
|
purported operations at the right time.
|
|
|
|
-+- Evidence in Treaty -+-
|
|
|
|
There is also mounting evidence that the unpublished complete
|
|
text of the treaty of Brest-Litovsk signed March 3, 1918,
|
|
contained a guarantee from the Lenin government that no harm
|
|
would come to the Romanovs, according to researchers. The short-
|
|
lived treaty was pressed on the Bolshevik government by the
|
|
Germans whose emperor, William II, was a cousin of Czar Nicholas.
|
|
|
|
A retired U.S. official, who has aided the investigations and
|
|
asked to remain anonymous, said continued secrecy on the part of
|
|
the British and American governments "frustrates or makes liars
|
|
out of all those who are ridiculed for stating the assassination
|
|
never took place." He said some who participated in the rescue
|
|
are still alive and "should be interviewed."
|
|
|
|
"It is a preposterous claim that full disclosure would strain the
|
|
relations among any of the involved governments," he said. "A
|
|
whole new breed has taken over in all the chancelleries.
|
|
Certainly there can be little fear anywhere of a Czarist
|
|
revival."
|
|
|
|
-+- Reconstruct Events -+-
|
|
|
|
According to a reconstruction of events based on new evidence,
|
|
the czar, czarina and their five children were spirited from
|
|
Ekaterinburg by a team of international agents in July, 1918. The
|
|
couple and two of their children were evacuated from Odessa on
|
|
the Black Sea under cover of an allied landing in December, 1919,
|
|
and taken to Malta on a U.S. naval vessel which had the British
|
|
cover name of H.M.S. Howan. The actual name is not yet known.
|
|
|
|
At Malta, where the Americans had a base under the command of
|
|
Rear Adm. William H. Bullard, the Romanovs waited while the
|
|
British government hesitated about giving them asylum and finally
|
|
decided against it. At least three Romanovs were taken to Trieste
|
|
on a British battleship, the H.M.S. Lord Nelson, and travelled to
|
|
Vienna and finally to Warsaw where they went underground.
|
|
|
|
At least one of the Romanovs, who had split up after
|
|
Ekaterinburg, made it to Poland by Dec. 1918, according to the
|
|
sources.
