Alexander Kerenshy. fonner Itusslan
jRreailer, decjared In an Interview today
hat Great Britain and France are op

It wcrald restore her to her former in
tornaUonal position. He appealed to
America to prevent the "exploitation"
pt Hussla.
' "England and France are Beeklng to
impose another Brest-l.ttosk upon I'.us
!," said Kerensky.
' (The treaty by which tho Bolshevlki
betrayed nussla to Germany was signed
at Breot-Lltosk.)
"I ask America, as paralyzed Russia's
true friend, to protect her from exploi
tation by her former Allies.
"Ilussla fought three years for the Al
lies. It was due to her that America
liad time to prepare and administer the
knockout blow. Now the Alllei ought
o deal honestly with Russia.
iJ'TVhen the Russian people, despite the
Srtst-Lltotsk treaty, wero continuing
Shelr fight they called upon tho Allies
tfor military aid. This help rapidly de
veloped Into an organized attempt to
Jcxplolt nussla's wealth and cut off Rus
sia from Europe by a barrier of tiny
fluasUndependent States. Thus, they
re completing the treaty of Brest-Li-itovBk
which Germany began.
"The Pcaco Conference ought to guar
antee the Integrity of Russian territory
aa It was before Brcst-Lltosk, afford
ing the opportunity for a real solution
of her problems. This could be brought
'about by the formation of a confercda-
'tlon like America of all tho Russian
States. I
, "This Is not an unrealizable dream
Che Bolsheviks control about a fourth '
of Russia proper and a sixth of Siberia
on the basis of population The balance
la composed of Independent States which
liave thrown off the Bolsheviks' author
ity. I
"I believe It is possible to call a
'general election for a constituent as
sembly, to Include delegates from every
lart of Russia. Kngland and Cranes
'oppose this becauso It would restore
Russia to her former International posl- '
Jtlon. They opposed my going to Amer-
want America to know the tiuth about
Russia.
'The victorious Allies are forgetting
their Ideallstlo war alms. England and
Prance already have agreed on the di
vision of their spheres of influence In
disintegrated Russia.
"It three men aro fighting a brigand
and one of them is knocked out, the
others, who continue to whip him, ought
toilxlp their comrade to his feet, ln-
t stead of robbing his pockets.
-' -msz PReaI to America to remember the
rood sTdirtSf 'Russia's part In the war
aa well as the unfortunate. Perhaps
President Wilson's presence at the Peace
Conference will prevent any brigandage. '
