for that country NJ Nabokoff, charge d'afaires of the Russian embassy i'll London, told the Associated Press today. M. Nabokoff was the first person to greet KerensiSy upon the latter's arrival in England and has spent more time than any one else in London with the former Russian premier. In his conversation with the Associated Press representa- tive NJ Nabokoff said:
 ''Kerensky told me that Russia is like a strong man recovering from sickness. She is healthier than before. All she
 needs is assistance from the outside. She does not want interference in her inter- nal affairs. That problem she will solve in her own way It is economic ani financial aid that she needs.
 "Kerensky is not social revolution' ary." he added He is citizen of Rus
 sia and appeals to all intelligent Rus
 sians everywhere in behalf of the father land He especially welcomes Amerlcan aid because he knows it will be dlsln-
 terested and not the result of polltlcai
 ambitions He dslikes the use of the
 term intervention as applied to Russia
 He prefers to term it assistance, De
 cause he does not believe that Russia mas gone out of the war. He insists that the
 Russian front still exists that It mas
 been merely pushed back by the Ger
 mans and Austrians and will be restored
 by the resurrected Russians, who are "a pidly recovering.
 Washington, June 26.-The unher- aided appearance in Londoh ol AioN ander Kerensky, former provisional nresident of Russia, together with his Announcement that he is on his way | to- America and that he is certain Rus sia soon will be fighting again With the forces of democracy against Ger man dorination, furnished the subject 1 for a discussion in official and d1plo- matic circles that covered q Wlde | range
 | As there apparently had been no in | timation of Kerensky's intended visit 1 to this country, speculation naturally 1 centered around his purposes in com | ing The belief seems to be general 7, that he not only will seek to enlist the | support of his own people in this coun- | try in his efforts to rehabilitate Russia 1 and cast off the German yoke, but VIII l discuss the subject with officials as 1 well.
 l Appearing as he does at time wher 1 both the United States and the entente l governments are earnestly consi 1erina l how they may best aid Russia to ric | herself of German influence and estab- l fish a stable government, the visit o1 | the one-time dictator of that stricker 1 nation is regarded by officials as hav- 1 ing many and far-reachtng posSiblli- l ties.
 1 Coincident with the appearance oi | Kerensky in London, John Sookine, 8
 member of the Russian commission sen 1 to the United States by the Kerensky | government a year ago, and now just 1 back from France, announced today hs 1 had learned from intimate reports from | Russia that the people would welcome military action by the allies to over come German domination.
 A few months ago, MT. Sookine saio
 this action would have been intolerab.t 1 to the people, but German aggression ir l spite of the Brest-Litovsk treaty had ! caused so much suffering and privatiol i that all intervention now would Dc 1 hailed with relief.
 l MT. Sookines statement and that ol 1 former Premier Kerensky concerninf l the change in sentiment of the Russian l masses serve to bear out reports re | ceived at the state department It il 1 known that for sometime powerful forces
 have been gathering within Russia it
 self to restore order and establish 7 | government in accord with entente gov ernments.
 l It developed today that Kerensky ac l tually has been in Russia part of tn 1 period of eight months since his govern l ment was overthrown by the bolsheviki l Although assidiously sought by the boi
 sheviki, he is understood to have beei ] hiding in Moscow and in the Caucasus | directing his agents in combating tn l spread of German influence and in
 trigue. However. it has not yet beel | made clear to what extent Kerensk, 1 represents the clements seeking to SC l up a strong government in Russia, an i to what use he will be put in the allied :, plans for rehabilitation of that country
