|OMSK GOVERNMENT
MAY Be RECOGNIZED
KoIchak Believed Agreeable
to Big Four as Head of
Non-BoIshevik Russia.
DECLARED TO BE POPULAR

Recognition of the Omsk govern
ment as the de facto government OF
nom -bolshevik Russia has been prac-
tically decided upon by the four
great powers conferring in Paris,
according to private advices received
from London.
Action of this nature by the allied
powers would be looked upon as de-
cided step toward the possible solu-
tion of the entire Russian problem
or at least of the present disturbed
conditions in the northern section of
that country. Reports of this pro-
posed recognition of the Omsk gov
ernment are said to have come from
most trustworthy source and have
aroused much interest and specula-
tion among officials and diplomats in
Washington.

May Delay Recognition.

It is believed, however. that the
powers in Paris will not tender this
recognition to the Omsk government
until after the peace treaty has been
signed and the details incident to ii
have been concluded to the satisfac-
ton of the conference.
There is no question about the gen.
eral feeling of confidence existing
among the representatives at the
peace conference from Great Britain
Italy, France and the United States
regarding the ability of the Omsk
government to handle the turbulent
situation in that section Of Russia
and to establish a strong bulwark
against the red advances

Question Might Be Raised.

Aside from the authoritative source
of the advices it is pointed out that
Premier Lloyd George in his recent
speech before the British parliament
intimated that the Russian question
might be solved by such a step as the
recognition Of Omsk. Besides head of
this young government. Admiral kol-
chalk is looked upon by many as one
of the greatest foes in Russia Of boil
shevist rule.
He is believed to be popular with all
parties except the extreme radicals,
and he has not only succeeded in win
ming the confidence Of his people. but
has created a feeling of trust and re-
spect among allied representatives gath
