" New York Aug. 12.-Gregolre Alex insly, a former member of the Rus sian duma now in Paris, in letter to a prominent. New Yorker whose identity cannot be made public, says that a strong anti -Bolshevist organiza- tiony has been set up in Constantinople in anticipation of the fall of the Lenine Trotzky regime which. the writer declares, is imminent and in evita ble"
 Two events, the revolt at Kronsta at on February 26, 1921, and the es- tabllshment, by the Constantlnople organization, of friendly relations with the anti-Bolshevist government at Vladivostok, he said, are of particular significance. The clouds over Soviet Russia, at first no larger than mans s fist, MT. Alexinsky writes, have now grown to the proportions of a serious storm
 All the information which reaches us from Russia wrote MT. Alexlnsky, proves that the power of the soviets is shaking and that the government of Lenine is nearing it's end. We anti Bolshevists have, meanwhile, done much to unify our forces The strong est organization we have created, the Soviet (Conseil) Russe, is located at Constantinople with the following of fcers: President, (ex-oficip) General Peter Wrangel; Vice. President, Pro- lessor Jean Alexinsky, Socialist Populist and former member of the 1uma; second Vice-President, M. Moussine- -Pouchkine, a Moderate Con- servative and former member of the durna; Secretary, General Lachkevitch, 3 cadet and former member of the duma.
 The Soviet (ConseiD Russe is com posed of representatives of the Rus san parliamentary committees and the Russian academic groups in foreign countries, the municipal assemblies and the zemstvos. Three political dele gates of the anti i-Bolshevist army staff. are also members and include Mons. Choulguine, a Conservative: Prince Doloroukoff, a cadet; and myself, a Social Democrat. The Cossack forces are also represented by three com |manders.' 4
 The program of the Soviet (Con- l seiD Russo. MT. Alexinsky said, pro- vides that after the overthrow of Bol- ] shevism. "all Russia people, without distinction of class, religion or nation ality, wil-be- free to make their choice regarding Russia government and constitution and the peasants will be l recognized as owners of the land they | cultivate Other provisions include the Ire
 establishment of productive work and lof tn economic forces of Russia | through conferences between work ngmen's committees, the factory
 managers and the government. There
 will be no vengeance against those twho through fear or mistaken judg- tment" have served in the Communist administration or in the Red army
 and a general amnesty will enable all Ito help in "the building of New Rus tsia." All nationalities composing the
 present state, MT Alexinsky said, Twill
 have equal rights and religious and IDersonal liberty guaranteed to them by law" and will be given the oppor- ltunlty for free development in their ilocal and national aspirations
 The Conseirs function, it was said
 will be to manage al political and
 civil affairs, leaving military matters entirely to-former officers of the anti Bolshevist forces. At present, MT Alexinsky wrote, the Conseil is backed by the remnant of the Crimean army
 10000 to 45,000 men and the commit
 tees of the refugees in the Balkans
 representing 10000 other Russians.
