strong and few weak spots. Gains of
to 2 points were made by American

Opposition
IF THEY LIKE CZARISM

Leaders Say Supreme Test
Of Democracy VIII Come
at Moscow Meeting
(By william G. shepherd)

United Press Staff Correspondent
Moscow, Aug. Russia will main.
tain her democracy at all costs. She in.
tends to use the weapons of the old
regime against those who would have
the old autocracy overthrow the new
freedom.
Of outstanding significance in the de-
liberations of the allRussian confer.
ence today was this emphatic declara.
tion by Premier Kercnsky. He insisted
the new nation "was passing through
a period of mortal dangerv and warned
enemies within that the government
henceforth "would be implacable" in
pursuing and crushing with blood and
iron all attempts against the people Is
power.
"rhose who once trembled before the
government of autocrats now boldly
march against the government with
arms in hand, " he continued. "'But let
them remember that our patience has
its limits and that those who 90 beyond
them will have to settle with govern
ment which will make them remember
the time of czarism. -
Kerenslxy's Speech atirs.
Kerensky's 3 speech produced a deer
impression. He concluded amid cheers
even of his political antagonists and to.
day there was preceptible lessening
in the Bolsheviki and reactionary fac.
tion.
The forces which will literally pass
upon the Kerensky government arc
vastly mixed. There are bankers, rich
land owners, conservatives, q sprinkling
or reactionaries-even monarchists. The
issue is tightly drawn between free and
open democracy versus one of coaxing
support from such group of enemies
to the sweeping democracy he repre-
sents. Even the Maximalists today ad-
judged the conference anti-revolution-
ary and not representative of the peo-
rle IS will, in refusing participation.
kerensky's s supporters agreed today
the supreme test of the democracy will
come in the Moscow meeting.
Finances In Bad Shape.
"If we yield to the conservatives
end reactionaries now,v said one of the
revolutionary newspapers today, "they
will deliver Russia to Nicholas or viii
helm.D
Speeches of cabinet members served
TO emphasize Russia's present critical
situation. Minister of interior Proko-
povitch reported actual scarcity of food
in several provinces and dwindling sup
ply even in such cities as Petrograd and
Moscow.
Vice Premier Nekrasoff warned that
Russia IS finances were in grave shape
Against issuance of an average of 250,-
100000 roubles ($125, ,000,00O) yearly in
1914, 1915 and 1916, he reported an
average of monthly issuance by the new
government of 840,O00,000 roubles
($420,0 0,000,000). Vast increases in wages
had been met. New governmental ae
tivities consumed huge sums of money.
Taxes were not producing as much as
expected. Nekrasoff urged high taxes
on war profits as one means of raising
money.
