Admiral Kolchak, Supreme Ruler In Omsk Regime. Sends Appeal For U. s. Support-Policy To Down Bolsheviki And Make Rus sia Real Democracy


 OMSK, Siberia, April 1, (via San Francisco, April 25).-(By Courier ta the Associated Press) Admiral Kol- chak, supreme ruler of the all Russian government, sends message to Amer ica, urging support of the Omsk regime in a statement to the Associated Press, giving in detail his ideals for Russia and the Russians. He declared in lliI statement that his governments aims were to free the people from the bol- sheviki lash, save the last remains Of the national wealth. and reconstruct the country politically, economically . and morally
 He advocated free particfpat ton of the people themselves in the organs Of the general state and local government.
 Education, he urged, would be neces- sary to restore the morale of the popu- lation which is lost under the influence of bolshevism and anarchy it's compre- hension of the differences between good and bad.
 Increased productivity, settlement of the agrarian question in favor of the working peasantry," attraction to Russia of much capital and restoration of justice, he cited as among the primo needs of the country.
 The aim which the government sets for itself" Admiral Kolchak said should be the general aim of the loyal citizens of Russia--to free the country from the bolsheviki lash, to save the last remains of the national wealth 1 and to proceed then under conditions of complete order wisely to reconstruct the peoples life upon the basis of free participation of the people themselves | in the organs of the general state and local government.
 Establish Law and Order
 "As my main task I set the estab- lishment of an army with fighting ca pacity, victory over the bolsheviki and ! the establishment of law and order. 1 Constant and continuing successes on i the front against the bolsheviki prove l in action that in the field of establish- 1 ing q fighting army. much already has ! been done. If at the time of my acS ceptance of the power of government ! the front was being held in the main i thanks to the presence of Czecho- 1 Slovak troops, at the present time all successes are being attained exclusively 1 through the efforts of the Russian ! troops alone. Aid from the allies is represented only in the furnishing of the RuSSlan army Wltn NedpOllS, dIl- [ munition and uniforms.
 'I very strongly hold the idea that states in our days can exist and de- velop themselves only upon a firm dem ocratic found tion.
 i "Only then will the farmer on Rus sian land be safeguarded soundly under just conditions; only then will better conditions of work and life be guaran- teed for Russian working men.
 Deprived of the opportunity to en- act laws through a rightly organized
 popular representative government un-
 der the conditions of the process of re-
 establishing the state which has just
 begun, the Russian government feels very keenly this fault and is striv-
 ing to prepare the country for elections
 to an all Russian nation for which all advance measures are being taken.
 Basic Proposition i For the accomplishment of such a broad task, in all governmental offices there is proceeding energetic efforts unified by the one general binding idea
 of a national and governmental re-
 mobilization of a single great Russia;
 This work and the principle upon which
 it is based can be reduced to these fun
 damental propositions: s
 'sThe impossibility of return to the
 old regime.
 ~All the peoples of Russia without
 distinction of religion or nationality
 should have equal rights.
 , ''To all nationalities according to their desire should be granted cultural
 autonomy.
 "At the basis of internal government of the country is laid the principles O!
 the broadest decentralization impera- lively dictated by the immensity of ex-
 panse of the Russian land and varia-
 tions in local conditions. The princi- pal of local self government, independ- ent and democratic, should be widely
 introduced. To separate regions dis
 tinguished from each other by ethon-
 ographic, historical and other condt- tions, there should be guaranteed ar organization which corresponds to the local character and a developmeni under the form of autonomy or feds eration. But however widely may bt l introduced local district and self goy- ernment the principle of the nationa ? unity of Russia must be observed as an essential condition Of nationa strength. l Develop the People l 'The basic moral condition for ths rehabilitation of Russia, this govern: ment considers to be the moral anf ] cultural development ot the population which has lost under the influence O

 "The extremely important grarial question should be decided in favor 0
