Paris, Marcirs. "Forty million Bua- siani in organixed governments are now eo-operatlng ia a woven far re united Russia. These Russians are working and fighting, dying by hundreds and even- by thousands daily, in an effort to save Russia from complete de struction; and ali 'this is being done without a thought of political ambi tion," said Sergiue Saznnolf, minister of foreign aflairs in the Dcnikine govern ment, who also is the representative in Paris .for the Omsk government, in an interview today. Continuing, he said: , In addition to tbo Russians fighting Bolshevism through and outside the gov ernnients there aro also hundreds of thousands of Russians within tho Bol Hievikl battling daily against lh efforts toy defeat a reunited Russia. "In the many months I was In Yeka- terinoda (capital of the province of Kuban) working with (ieneral Dcnikine, Admiral Kolchak and other patriotic leaders for the" reconstruction of the Russian state, I heard no talk of polities. The sole idea of those men is to save Russia fro tho. forces of destruction to turn it back united to the Russiaa people to do what they wish with it. Socialistic and other liberal elements are taking a very prominent part in the movement for a reunited Russia, espe cially in the South. In the Crimea and in the Don and Kuhan governments the progressive men of all parties have joined hands. There is not the slightest chance that autocracy will ever return in Russia. Notiody, so far as I know, wants it and it would bo folly to sug gest such reaction. r riends of a reunited Russia much regret tho effort mudn by certain prop agandists to create the impression that the Southern government, the Omsk gov ernment snd tho Archangel government are led by men who would favor a re turn to the old order of things. I am sure men like Gen. Dcnikine. and Ad miral Kolchak have no .desire? to turn back the wheels of progress in Russia and I do not believe they seek personal aggrandisement. ''The effort to split Russia into many independent governments also is a mis guided movement. Scores of small gov ernments cannot live independently. The larger governments bowl them over by their sheer weight and Russia, which finally will resume her place among the important nafions. must be a great, united Russia directed by the majority nf tho Russian ncmile and not bv anv one class or section.
