viii Not Recognize Treaty.
London. June 27.-'T bear witness
that the Russian people never win
recognize the Brest-Litovsk treaty,
which hurled Russia into the abyss OF
annihiIation." said Alexander f. Ker-
enslSy, former premier Of Russia, ia
an address at the labor conference
today.
Mr.. Kerensky said that Russia was
bending under German insults and
bleeding at every pore. bat still op-
posed to the enemy invasion.
Washington. June 27-various
plans for extending American aid to
Russia in an effort TO bring her back
into the war. are still in the stage
of consideration.
President Wilson is being informed
Of the details Of the situation
through many confidential sources
and also has the benefit OF inforna-
tion at the disposal of the allied gov
ernments. It is within the range Of
possibilities that the President might
take further steps to gather tnforma-
ton through the agency Of a special
mission or investigator.
~ 1t has been suggested that the
government might take q visit from
Former Premier Kerenshy to the
United SIates as a means of inform
ing itself Of intimate details. So far
as could be learned today. q visit
from the former premier was still an
unsettled question. There are some
differences Of opinion among tla8
friends of Russia in Washington as
to whether conferences between
American officials and KerensSy
would be advisable.
One OF the plans. which was pro-
posed to administration advisers
some time ago by Americans closely
conversant with the Russian situa~
tiou. and which seem TO remain
among the foremost Of the many adj
vanced. provides that the chief aid
to be extended by the United States
shall be purely Of a civil and nom
military nature. and OF such a char
acter as to leave no opportunity for
German propagandists TO mislead
the Russian masses into the misconv
ception that the United States was
seeking advanta res for itself.
