SPIRIT Of ACCORD
PERMEATES RUSSIA
ULTIMATE BENEFITS WILL BE
DERIVED FROM NATIONAL CON
FERENCE OF DELEGATES.
LITTLE SKEPTICISM SHOWN
Social Democrats Fear That Unity
viii Only Be Temporary at This
Time-Reorganizatio of Army
Is Badly Needed.

MoscOw.-A spirit of confidence in
the national conference held here is
expressed by representatives of the
various groups which participated.
Their hopes are based on no definite
policy enunciated or measures adopt
ed, but upon the spirit of Cancellation
observed among the factions and a
clearer understanding growing out of
the discussion of the governmen
problems.
F'rof Paul MilEkoff, spokesman of
the constitutional democrats, eY-
pressed skepticism as TO the perma-
nent benefit to be derived, saying:
"The routes of the several groups
seem to have approached one an
other, but l am afraid that this is only
temporary. A certain unity seems
possible. The declaration of the So
cialists, as well as the non-Socialists,
promises some concessions, but will
these materialize?
IN. Tseretelli former minister Of
the interior) expressed desire to fol-
low course Leading p union and col
Elaboration. How fars'this desire will
be shown in facts can be learned only
in the future"
NJ Tseretelli, who is a prominent
member of the council of deputies,
said:
There is bridge between the bour-
geoisie and the Socialists. How strong
it will be depends upon how far the
wealthy classes help the government
to realize the reforms contemplated
The conference gave positive results,
which have united so far as is possible
the vital forces of the country"
Gen. Alexieff, the former comman-
derin-chief, said:
"Postponement of the reorganiza-
ton of the army threatens the most
serious consequences in the near fu-
ture. Serious attention must be paid
to the report and recommendations Of
Gen. Korniloff"
