Probably two speeches will be de-

Roosevelt has been importuned TO

PETROGRAD, May 29.-Russia
will fight for 20 years, IL necessary
until Germany is forced to accept
the allies terms OF peace, Michail
Rodzianko. president of the Russian
duma. told the United Press in an
exclusive interview today. He
scoffed at the danger OF a revolu.
ton in the cars empire.
There Is no peace party in Rus
sia," said Rodzianko This Is n
German lie. The duma is solid in
its demand that Russia continue
the fight until Germany puts her
cannons in pile and accepts the
allies conditions. The emperor. the
duma and the peasants of Russia
are united in this. Tell this TO the
people of America as emphatically
as you can"
Rodzianko had just arrived in
Petrograd from the home provinces
for the reopening OF the duma to-
day.
You need not accept my word
exclusively" he said. you are vel
come to the floor of the duma where
you can talk to anyone. All will
tell you what | have told you.
THE Russian peasants know the
meaning of German hegemony. They
are for war. We will fight 20 years
IL necessary 10 abolish this menace.
We will force the kaiser to accept
our terms. Peace on any other
basis will be unthinkable. Russia
would refuse TO accept, even II the
allies would accept-and the allies
would not. Peace propaganda in
circulation now is unfricudly to the
allies"
Rodzianko was asked II the duma
would attempt reforms at the ses-
sion opening today.
This is no time for such legis.
lation." he replied. 1--WE will de-
vote the session, FIRST. TO war meas.
ures-the revictualizing OF the army,
etc: second, to economic problems
growing out of the war, and, third,
TO strengthening the local self.gov-
erning bodies. I cannot say how
long the duma will remain in ses-
sion, but we are not afraid OF its
dissolution. The duma is working
pretty well with The government. II
will finish its program early. how
ever, as the duma IL composed of
agrarians who must adjourn before
the harvest, which comes shortly"
THE members are mostly farm
ers. They can do more good rails
ing crops for the army and nation
than by simply meeting"
The duma president declared Rus
STA not only willing. but prepared
to carry the war to victorious end.
Russia is ready To support her
share OF the burden much better
than at the start" he said. The
army has almost double the spirit
IL possessed early in the war. II is
better equipped, better supplied with
munitions and better fed than
year ago. The fortunes of the war
vary, but whatever happens Russia
will fight until Germany is beaten.
There Is no danger of an internal
