MoDERATEs TO SAVE COUNTRY.
Leader of Party Declares They Are
ONLY Salvation

ST PETERSBURG, March ON. Ouch
koff, leader OF the moderate party, in an
interview published today expresses the
opinion that the moderates will prove to
be the salvation of the country against
reaction. He believed the country and the
government are drifting toward a counter
revolution, but that the moderates are now
standing between the left and right parties
and that by throwing their weight and in
fiuence against reaction they will be able
to preserve the balance.
NJ. Guchkof further declares that the
peasants are an unknown factor SO far as
parliament is concerned. The priests, he
says, are not reactionary and are likely
to be more radical on the asrarian ques-
ton than the constitutional democrats
themselves. He fears the latter, whom he
considers to be simply revoIutIonists mas
querading as constitutionalists.
