Kerensky's Position.

While Premier Kerensky favored the
preliminary parliament idea he believes
1t should have power only to initiate
legislation, but the cabinet should have
final Jurisdiction. The government it.
self has worked out a plan for such a
parliament. which would consist of 2S1
members. including all the elements
represented in the congress and in ad-
dition the constitution democrats
Premier Kerensky talked with the
representatives of the Moscow govern
ment over the telephone and assured
them OF the certainty of the inclusion
of the Moscow members, Kishkfn.
Konovaloff. Tretiakoff and Smyrnoff, in
the cabinet. The Moscow members are
coming to Petrograd on a special train.
The duma. however. Is opposed to the
plan of a parliament. declaring it to be
a measure of self-deception that NAV
result in the postponement of a con-
stituent assembly and because of the
incomplete representation in its forma-
ton.
