LAUGHS AT RUMOR
OF A SOVIET
NAPOLEON
BY NEWTON c. PARkE.
Interna ttOnnl News Service.

PARIS, July 30-Alexander, F..
socialist premier Of Rus
sia. from July to November in 1917,
who was deposed by the Bolshevik
regime OF Lenin and Trotzky, today
issued an appeal to the world in be-
half of Russia.
ASKS BREAK IN BLOCKADE.
NJ. Kerensky asks that the block
ade barriers surrounding Russia be
broken down. He ridicules the fears
expressed in England and France
that a red Bonaparte will arise in
Russia who win sweep all Europe with
his ARMIES ~ 80 - - -. ~, =,
"Russla will becorrls sse, great
PEACEFUL democracy OF Europe" This
is the prediction made by the former
Russian premier. ..a .
Without explaining in detail how it
will come about, NJ Kerensky fore
cast that the Bolshevik menace
would pass. He declares, however,
that the allies, after making war on
the Russians for upwards of two
years. will find them tender"
''The allies are now repaying the
tares that they sowed,- said the for
mer premier. "To the real friends Of
democratic RUSSIA there in no differ
ence whether the Bclsheviki accept
the offer of n general peace confer
ence in London or not.
'"The allies have stumbled from one
error to another, but singularly to
say, they stiT persist in the belief
that their cOur-e is the correct one.
"In battling Bolshevism with armed
forces on Russian soil, the allies have
not only offended Russian national
sentiment, but have created power
full enemy. This feeling of enmity is
now controlled by the Bolsheviki
"The Allies nnd themselves face to
face with q giant of their own creation
and they do not know what to do.
at is a little late for the Allies to
advise moderation and unselnshn ness
on the part of the Russian Bolsheviki
after the Allies have wnged wnr on
them INCREASINGLY. 1 do not believe
that the Allies will ind the Russians
tender.
'I believe that Poland should re-
main free within her ethnographic
limits. But she should cooperate
with free Russia.
PEASANT HATES ARMY.
"The fear of a Red Bonaparte' ex-
plotted in England and France is 4
ridiculous phantom. The Russian
peasant abhors militarism. He only
wishes to resume his normal life of
peace that was interrupted by the
Allied blockade and the Allied at
tacks.
"It Is time now to break down the
barriers surrounding Russia. When
that is done the Russian people them
selves will achieve their own liberty.
Russia will become the great.
