by the social revolutionists, declared
today that the constituent assembly
should immediately cali conference
of all the entente allies to consider
war aims.
NJ. Tehernoff granted an interview
to the correspondent during the mid
night recess.
What do you think OF the situa-
'ion"" he was asked.
Fearless Of Boishevik;.
do YOU think the Bolsheviki will
dissolve the constituent assembly?"
No" said the chairman, ''T do not
think they viii do that before the CON
rrcss of the Workmen's and Soldiers
deputies assemblies. In the meantime
they Will try to find a way out Of their
embarrassment and continue the se-
ctssion." -
You desire to discuss ~peace first.
What is your program regarding that
question:"
Stanu py TFtnctpI0t.
"Our party's position on the question
OF peace Is that the constituent as
sembly should Immediately call a con-
ference of all the entente allies to con-
slider the aims Of the war. We expect
tfat at such a conference they would
state clearly and most explicitly their
aims and would try TO harmonize them
with the democratic principle OF the
Russian revolution"
DO YOU think Russia can continue
the war If Germany refuses peace on
democratic terms" NJ, Tchernoff was
asked. lie replied:
Ready to Fight.
Everybody says that Russia can
not fight because OF the extreme state
OF disorganization. All know that the
decision of this war will be on the
western front. But Russia can act as
a magnet to draw Germany's forces
and prevent their being thrown over
to the western front The Russian
army may retreat, but In doing 80 will
benefit the allies by diverting the Ger
mans deeper and deeper Into Russian
territory, which would be no gain for
them
At this stage the interview was in
torrupted by several members of the
constituent assembly, who urged tho
chairman 10 resume the session.
