Political Parties All
Score Opening Speech
By Premier Kerensky

London, Aug. 27-'.Premier5 Ker-
nesky's speech in opening the confer
ence did not satisfy single party or
succeed in uniting the different groups
in service for the country" says the
Exchange Telegraph correspondent in
Moscow. THE democrats are dissatis-
fed with the .dictator-Iike govern
ment The anti-democrats expected
a practical program for the carrying
out Of measures to put down anarchy.
They also are dissatisfied with the
premier's declaration regarding the
impossibility of imagining a country
without freedom, saying this is no
time to talk of freedom and social re-
forms.
Monday is expected to be the day
of atonement. The various groups
are expected to speak out freely and
voice their aspirations. Much depends
on whose words find an echo in NJ.
Kerensky's own aspirations.
"Personaly do not believe the
cabinet will undergo changes, as a
coalition is the only possible form of
government at this juncture. Should
the conference fail in a last effort to
organize a national government the
responsibility will fall on those ele-
ments which put the interests OF
their Swn classes above those of the
country.
Moscow has resumed it's normal
aspect. The strike has been discon-
tinued and the Moscow council OF
workmen's and soldiers delegates
with other organizations, has appeal
ed to the population to abstain from
demonstrations The Petrograd max
imalists of the central executive coun-
Gil have been deprived of their man
dates on account of unwillingness tc
submit to the decision against separ.
ate action"

and was to a victorious end.
At conferences yesterday the maxi
milists decided that the conference
