or to undertake any human mission
confided to him by the people.
"On Sunday night, when the COM
mittee had possession of the hall of
the Imperial Economic Society, about
1000 persons were present, but there
was no directing head and, therefore,
no unity of action, and the attitude of
the assembly was expectant and fatal
tstic.
L asked prominent member why
they had no permanent committee. He
shrugged his shoulders; but another,
who casually heard me, said there
would be one soon, and to-day a body
of men is constituted who regard
themselves as the future provisional
government Of Russia.
PLAYING A DESPERATE GAME.
LAS yet they are political ciphers,
who hope that a sudden stroke Of luck
may provide them with means to over
throw the present regime and place
the reins of power in their hands. If
they succeed, they will, for the time
being, be identical with Russia. If
they fail they may, as they themselves
admit, wander to Siberia or descend
into the tomb.
Il am not permitted to make any
statement respecting the personality
of these men, beyond the remark that
they are not adventures, but men of
standing. whose names are widely
known and deeply respected here and
abroad, and they have requested me to
give publicity to the following remark
able statement of their financial pol
icy:
They are prepared to respect Rus
san traditions and pay interest pune
tually on all loans heretofore nego-
tiated, and will leave nothing undone
to avoid reputation, the curtailment
of interest or any measures that
would run counter to obligations un-
dertaken by the imperial government;
but every foreign loan contracted after
Sunday, January %, 1905, they will
unhesitatingly repudiate. because no
nation can now lend to the Russian
government in good faitn.''
