Paris, May 27.-The council of four
of the peace conference has decided con-
dltionally to recognize the anti
bolshevik governments of Admiral Kol-
chalk and General Denikines, according
to Reuters agency here. The condi-
tons for the recognition are that, re-
CARELESS of the future of Russia, these
governments agree to convoke and ac-
cept the verdict of a genuine constitu-
ent assembly; likewise that the league
of nations covenant and its conse-
quences as affecting the boundaries of
the former empire be accepted. The
constituent assembly is to determine
the future form of government of
Russia.
Will Supply Arms and Food.
The policy adopted, it is added, will
enable the allies to recognize any
force in Russia, cooperating in the
struggle against soviet rule, because
such recognition will be in force only
till the time the constituent assembly
decides upon the permanent form of
government.
The regional governments will then
expire automatically.
The allies will not furnish Admiral
Kolchak and General Deniliine with
troops, but will supply them with
arms, munitions, money, and food on
n larger scale than hitherto.
1t is stipulated that there will be no
interference with the races of non
Russian states recently erected from
old Russian territory.
Work Again on italian Problem.
There were indication today In
peace conference circles that the nego-
tiations for the settlement of the Ital-
ian problem were being resumed after
a weeks suspension. 1t is understood
that strong effort is being made by
the French, British and Italians to
have the treaty of London, signed, by
those powers in 1915 just before Italy's
entrance into he war, form the basis
of the settlement.
Make Minor Concession to Foe.
With the exception of one minor
concession all suggestions and counter
proposals by Germany for the DISPOSE
ton of the Saar basin have been re
iected by the reply Of the allied and
associated powers.
Count Won Brockdorff Rantzau's APP
peal for an oral discussion of the
points at issue on this subject was
ignored.
The concession agreed to is that
Germany might create Il prior charge
upon her assets or revenues for the
payment of the mines In the Saar
region, If the plebiscite goes against
France. If, however the sum agreed
upon is not paid within year from
the date It is due, the reparation com
mission shall effect payment under in
structiOns from the league of nations.
This alteration was made in view Of
Germans declaration that It was inn
possible for her to accumulate sufli-
cient sum of gold with which TO pay
for the mines In the fifteen years be-
fore the pleblscitc Is taken. since other
PREPARATIONS would constitute con
slant drain.
The council of four has completed
the Austrian treaty, with the exception
of financial clauses and the southern
boundary on which some details are
still to be Strengthened ont.
