§ 2. Mr. CHARLES WHITEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign 776 Affairs whether either General Denikin or Admiral Koltchak have ordered Colonel Bermondt to desist from his attacks on the Letts, in view of the fact that British seamen have been killed by Colonel Bermondt's artillery fire while defending Riga?
Mr. HARMSWORTHHis Majesty's Government have no knowledge of any orders having been issued to Colonel Bermondt either by Admiral Koltchak or General Denikin. As, however, General Yudenitch, who, together with General Denikin, has recognised Admiral Koltchak as Supreme Ruler, has denounced Colonel Bermondt as a traitor, it would appear unnecessary for either Admiral Koltchak or General Denikin to take any action in the matter.
