PREMIER INTERVIEWED
Australian and N.Z. Cablo Association. LONDON, April 20. The Daily Telegraph's Petrograd correspondent reports an interview with Prince Lvoff. The Premier said:'"We regard the future with complete confidence. The masses of the people support the democratic principles which tho Provisional Government defends. The great majority of the working classes in Petrograd are now labouring assiduously, and the discipline of the army is being gradually and lully reestablished. Democratic Russia is too conscious of her mission not to defend with all her soid tho results so far obtained. We know of Rumania's sufferings, and we are decided to do all that is possible to assist her. The transport question is still attended with, great difficulties. Under tho old regime only four wagons, daily were sent to Rumania to provision the army and civilian population. We> are sending 25 wagons' daily. After the war Rumania will bo able to prevent Germany again dominating her economic and political life."
