ALL PARTIES DISSATISFIED.
One Group Thinks Kerensky Speech
Too Strong: One Too Weak.

LONDON. August 2T.-"Premier Ke-
rensky's speech in opening the nation
al conference did not satisfy a single
party or succeed in uniting the differ
ent groups in mutual service for the
country" says the Exchange Telegraph
correspondent at Moscow. The demo-
Gratis are dissatisfied with the dictator
like government. The anti-democrats
expected a practical program for the
carrying out of measures to put down
anarchy They are also dissatisfied with
the premier's declaration regarding the
impossibility of imagining a country
to talk of freedom and social reforms
Monday Is expected to be the day of
atonement. The various groups are ex-
pected to speak out freely and voice
their aspirations. Much depends on
whose words find an echo in NJ Keren-
sky's own aspirations.
Personally, I do not believe the cabi-
net will undergo changes, as a coalition
is the only possible form of govern
ment at this juncture. Should the con-
ference fail in a last effort to organize
a national government the responsible
ity will fall on those elements which
put the interests Of their own classes
above those of the country.

The proceedings began with a speech
by Premier kerensky lasting hour

Impressive voice, which aroused ire

part of the theater occupied by the

and the Moscow industrial deputies
also at times participated NJ Keren-

role he had played in recent events and
his determination to guide events in

with wild applause, when, early in his
speech. speaking of the dangers from
the extreme left, he declared: All at

Still more applause greeted him when.
limiting at a counter revolution mill

has come when, relying on the bayonet
they can overthrow our revolution"
The audience arose and cheered this
expression for five minutes
Premier Kerensky rebuked the Fin

the board will use the "cubical con-

yet decided. This plan calls for meas
uring each building to ascertain its
cubical measurements and use the
measurements thus obtained as one of
the factors I'm determining the value
OF the building.
This measurement involves a vast
amount of work and the six months

ing its first general assessment and

apply the cubical contents system TO
all buildings. II may be tried on sJme
