THE CZAR’S FATE
STATEMENT BY KERENSKY (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association) LONDON. 14th Jan. Kerensky, interviewed in Paris by the “Central News” correspondent, said Britain could have saved the Czar if she had wished. “At the beginning of the revolution it was impossible to do anything, but when the president of the provisional government requested Sir George Buchanan to ask his Government to save the Czar he telegraphed to London, from which came a clear and precise reply that it was impossible to do anything before the end of the war. England.did not want to irritate the workers’ sentiments. It was impossible for us to send the emperor abroad, so. I prepared to send him to Bolslc, where the population was peaceful. Sir George Buchanan was first approached in March, when he offered to arrange for the Emperor’s safety, but owing to passions running , high in .Russia it was then impossible to do anything.”
