BRITAIN REFUSED.
REFUGE FOR CZAR. Revelation in Kerensky's Latest Book. STRONG POLITICAL PRESSURE. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 10..'50 a.m.) LONDON, January 25. Alexander Kerensky, in his latest book, "The Murder of the Romanovs," alleges that the British Government in 1917 first offered asylum to the Czar and his family and then withdrew it owing to political pressure. Asylum was apparently arranged through Sir George Buchanan, then British Ambassador to Russia, and Kerensky immediately communicated it to the Czar. Kerensky asserts that the intention of the British Government met with the coldest reception, particularly anjong the Liberals and Labourites.
A few weeks later Sir George Buchanan called on the Russian Foreign Minister in Petrograd, and, with tears in his eyes, informed the Minister of Britain's final refusal to give refuge to the former Emperor of Russia.
