Paris, June 1.-THE reply sent by
the council of four Thursday to the
note of Admiral Kolchak extends to
him and his associates in the all
Russian government at Omsk the
support set forth in the original let
ter of the council to Kolchak. This
is interpreted here as meaning de
factor recognition of the Omsk gov
ernment.
Following is the text of the terms
in the dispatch originally sent to
Admiral Kolchak:
Summon Constituent Assembly.
"In the first place, that, as soon
as they reach Moscow they will
summon constituent assembly
elected by free. secret and demo-
cratic franchise, as the supreme
legislature for Russia to which the
government of Russia must be re-
sponsible or, if at that time order
is not sufficiently restored, they will
summon the constituent assembly,
elected in 1917, to sit until such
time as new elections are possible.
Secondly, that throughout the
areas which they at present control
they will permit free elections in
the normal course for all local and
legally constituted assemblies, such
as municipalities, zemstvos, etc,
Thirdly, that they will counte-
nance no attempt to revise the spe-
cial privilege of any class OF order
in Russia.
"The allied and associated pow
ers have noted with satisfaction the
solemn declaration made by Ad-
miral Kolchak and his associates
that they have no intention of re-
storing the former land system.
They feel that the principles to be
followed in the solution of his and
other internal institutions must be
left to the free decision of the Rus
sian constituent assembly; but they
wish to be assured that those whom
they are prepared to assist stand for
the civil and religious liberty of all
Russian citizens and will make no
attempt to reintroduce the regime
which the revolution has destroyed.
Finland Poland Independence.
"Fourthly, that the independence
of Finland and Poland be recog-
nized and that in the event of the
frontiers and other relations be-
tween Russia and these countries
not being settled by agreement they
will be referred to the arbitration of
the league of nations.
"Fifthly, that if a solution of the
relations between Esthonia. Letvia.
Lithuania and the Caucasian and
trans Caspian territories and Russia
is not speedily reached by agree
ment, the settlement will be made
in consultation and cooperation
with the league of nations and that
until such settlement is made the
government of Russia agrees to
recognize these territories as auton-
omous and to confirm the relations
which may exist between their de-
facto governments and the allied
anu dSSOSidlCu SoNCi
"Sixth1y. that the right of the
peace conference to determine the
future of the Roumanian part of
Bessarabia be recognized. -=
"Seventhly, that as soon as a
government for Russia has been
constituted on democratic basis,
Russia should join the league of
nations and cooperate with the
other members in the limitation of
ornaments and of military organiza-
tions throughout the world.
Finally, that they abide by the
declaration made by Admiral Kol-
chak on November u, 1918, in re-
gard to Russia's national debt.
"The allied and associated powers
will be glad to learn as soon as pos
sible whether the government of
Admiral Kolchak and his associates
is prepared to accept these condi-
tons, and also whether in the event
of acceptance they will undertake TO
form single government and army
command as soon as the military
situation makes II possible"
