Washington, November 23.-Recognition at Versailles was urged by Prince George Lvoff. first prime minister of Russia after the overthrow of the Car, in state ment today to the American people. Prince Lvoff expresses his conviction that any programme ot reconstruction which does not provide for the complete de- struction of bolshevsm in Russia will leave in the world the germ of another great war.
 The termination of the war has raised the question of the peace conference said Prince Lvoff "I think a sense of duty and justice dictates to the allies the necessity Of organizing in Versailles the defense of Russian interests. This work can be done by Russians only. The coun- try as whole is unable at present to send to the conference it's plenipotentiary representatives, But when our friend is li we act for him.
