The political situation in Rusais is very ohseums, but que faut emerg ing above everything is the patriotic restraint of all parties in the Duma as shown by their calm behaviour. It is fully conscious of the great responsibilitio confided in it by the country and is worthily upholding them.
It is saved that the prorogution is a result of a recommendation nado by the Premier (M. Goremykin) which is opposed by the rest of the Cabinet. At the same time nobody questions his patriotic motives. Apparently he considered that the Duma bad completed its task and that u prolongation of the Session would merely give an opportunity for pressing political developments which he considered inopportune. The view of the others was that a continued Session would be in the hest interests of the successful conduct of the war.
