1141. 106 to Paris. The Embassy has received a circular note from the Provisional Government announcing its decision on April 30, “to recognize officially the supreme and exclusive authority of the present Government of Omsk as the Provisional National Government of all Russia, while reserving independence of action until a direct junction between the two Governments shall have taken place.” Resting upon this basic decision the Provisional Government [Page 339] will continue as heretofore until it has obtained from the National Government detailed instructions and the chief dispositions of the two Governments have been coordinated.
