INTELLIGENCE REPORT
Note: It was previously reported that by 20 November tan notices had
been printed in the Tsingtao nglish-language paper,. "The People Is Herald, "announcirr
cancellation of requests for passports. .
Although Dorofeev has been occupied principally with the exchange of temporary
certificates of Soviet citizenship for passports and with registration of births,
deathsvs, and marr:i agea, he has made the following statements on current vital topics:
a. The Dairen incident (in which three krkericans on board an American LCI were
not allowed to land In Dairen and the ship was ordered by the Soviet
authorities to leave) is of negligible importance and does not jeopardize
United States-Soviet relations. On the other hand the Soviet authorities were
acting within their rights and the captain of the LCI was wrong.
b. Soviets who have all d passports to lapse in order to obtain Chinese citizen-
ship must have L.oscow clearance before the change will be recognized by the
Soviet ? government.
