"We. anrour other friends of liberty

an effort that I myself made some
years ago -soon after I assumed the
presidency of the United States to do
that very thine;. I was urging that
other states of America unite with the

In Recognizing Kolchak Regime
By DAVID
XT WASHINGTON. D.
C May 17.-
U Recognition of the Kolchak gov-
ernment as the de facto government
of all Bussla Is In prospect. Great
Britain and France are getting ready
to extend recognition and the United
States seems certain to follow it.
Recently the ambassador went from
Toklo to Siberia and made a com
prehensive report on the Kolchak
government He has now received
orders from president Wilson at
Paris to make another trip which
will be some time in Jane.
The United States Is in reality
Keeking Information as to the
character and purposes of the
Kswiehak gOTenunent bat the
data received thus far has not
created a very favorable Impres-
sion. Onr government has never
views of admitting Kolchak him-
self but has been puzzled over
the presence in his cabinet of
nex regarded In Russia as re-
actionary. Those men were eliminated by a
coupe ta recently and Kolchak has
surrounded himself with men who
favor the principles of the revolu-
tion as proclaimed when the czar was
overthrown.
The Kolchak government is mili-
tary but can be accorded recognition
on the same basis that the Carranza
government was given recognition In
Mexico.
The Russian admiral has extended
his forces throughout Russia and has
either maintained military support or
the political acquiescence of groups
which have hitherto proclaimed them-
selves as lndependent-
Kolehak de Faeto Government.
The Omsk government at Archan-
gel tor example has recognised ad-
miral Kolchak as the chief executive
of Russia. Thus the Kolchak gov-
ernment may be said to possess the
principal elements of sovereignty in
Russian territory and entitled to rec-
ognition as a de facto government
in accordance with American tradi-
tion and precedent.
So far as de Jure recognition
for the time being the United
States will want to see some open '
manifestation of the Kolchak
government as to the program it
Intend to apply to secure the es-
taMUhment ef democratic gov-
ernment. If admiral Kolchak should an-
nounce as he Is being urged by for-
eign governments to do. that he plsns
calling a constitutional assembly and
that he will guarantee a fair elec-
tion his statement would form the1
promise for de facto recognition
which would or would not be abro-
gated in accordance as the promise
was kept But the extension of de1
factB recognition would in itself con-
ing conditions threatening social dis-
integration. "Resolved that we reaffirm the sa-
c redness of man and demand that
the individual system in Its proces-
ses motives and results be brought
to the test of its contribution to hu-
man life and spiritual values.
Ask Justice For Labor.
"Resolved that we affirm our con-
viction that all parties In industry
investors managers workers and tbe
community are partners and that
this calls for the creation of a con-
stitution or charter for each country
defining the terms and conditions of
labor providing for redress of griev-
ances on the basis of social justice
and insuring a progressive partici-
pation by all parties In knowledge of
the enterprise a voice in its direction
and an equitable sharing In the pro-
ceeds. "Resolved that we undertake to
secure on our national independence
day not only commemoration of mili-
tary and political victories but also
the promotion of moral and sodal
ideals and particularly to secure In
this present year the recognition of
prohibition as the greatest moral tri-
umph of the generation."
Charge Tartlallty to Catholic.
The resolutions assert that the Ro-
man Catholic church was given an
undue proportion of chaplains both in
the war and naw department during
tbe war and the departments are
asked to make assignments hereafter
on the basis of population rather than
on membership.
Cooperation between American and
British Bible societies is urged.

atitute a great step forward in the
Russian situation because by lena-
Ing support at this juncture to the
Kolchak regime other elements in
Russia which may have been uncer-
tain as to the wisdom of falling in
with the Kolchak administration
wonld feel free to do so believing
that the promises given foreign gov-
ernments would be sufficient assur-
ance that the Interests ot all inter-
national factions would be equitably
adjusted in tne creation of a central
government. Furthermore it is quite
possible that material aid may be

timely to extend recognition immedi-

turning of Russian elements to the
side of the Kolchak government. The
United States government is proceed-

be the teat to extend de facto recog-
nition but at the name time every
sign points to the prospective adher-
ence of the United States to the allied
program of assisting the Kolchak
government by lending moral and. if
necessary material support to the
end that tbe people of Russia may
soon have at least a structure of cen-
tral government.
This program would be subject to
revision by the Russians themselves
