Russia Faces a Grave Crisis

The first actual elections to the Russian National Parliament took place on March 29. The party calling itself the Constitutional Democratic Party gained a sweeping victory. The delegation took a pledge to demand that De Witte and Durnovo be made to answer for the acts of repression committed since October. Mr. De Witte has received numerous letters declaring that unless he resigned his post at once he would be killed. In spite of many assurances from the Russian Government that another uprising of the people would be impossible, it is generally conceded by outsiders that Russia is now facing a most grave crisis.
