Assistant Secretary of State Bacon provides the requested report on Princess Sofia Grigorievna Kropotkina. She is the wife of Petr Alekseevich Kropotkin, a well-known geographer, scientist, and anarchist, and is known to assist him in his work. The State Department has no records regarding Kropotkin’s 1900 visit to the United States, nor the proposed visit of Kropotkina. There may be an indication in the records of the Department of Commerce and Labor regarding waiving the statute which excludes anarchists from entering the country.
