Show RUSSIA HAS HAD A GREAT CRISIS Pctrograd. Monday, Nov. 20, via London, Nov. 21. 3:01 D. m. Favorable drv!nnmen! in the last few days, which witnessed the recovery re-covery of Russia from a most serious political crisis, make it now possible lo describe briefly events which brought about a collision between the government and the duma. The crisis was an inevitable clash between the present cabinet cabi-net and the insistent voice of public opinion which more and more loudly protested against the government. The Associated Press is informed on the best authority thai an agreement has been reached which has entirely satisfied the representatives of the people. The nature of the agreement probably will be disclosed in the course of a few days. The event is interpreted generally as a victory for the duma. Its chief significance signifi-cance is the political awakening of the notion and the development of real public consciousness conscious-ness which for perhaps the first time in Russian Rus-sian hislory has become articulate and can be ignored no longer. Among the effects expected expect-ed from the present agreement is the final burial of all ruinros of a separate peace. The gravity oi the recent crisis is indicated by an article in the Russkiya Vedemosty of Moscow, which is permitted to publish an unusually un-usually candid analysis of the situation. This newspaper states: "The crisis in obtaining supplies and the experiments in remedying this situation, the present status of foreign politics, the new limitations lim-itations of the press, dark rumors and dark facts which arc making ihe masses of the population pop-ulation nervous all these are only single aspects of the question. Events clearly foretold fore-told a collision between the interests of the country and the present system of government. The disorganization to which the country had been brought at a critical moment when occupied occu-pied with an enemy without, is final judgment, upon the existing order." |
