KerenskySmiles,EyesTwinkle, In Accented Interview
Alexander Kerensky, former prime minister of the Russian republic, strode into the second floor lobby of the Brookside hotel in Kansas City. Mo. Saturday morning.
The former prime minister, whose gray hair is closely cropped, extended his hand and firmly clasped hands in Russian fashion (in the U.S.
men do not shake hands with wo-
men) and answered in kind to a
greeting in Russian, bowing slightly.
Mr. Kerensky will speak at 4 p.m.
today in Fraser theater on the de-
velopment of democratic ideas in
Russia. . .
Russia. The interview was arranged by Mrs. Rachael Soloveitchik, instructor in Russian. Mr. Kerensky is a visiting professor at the University of Kansas City this month. He will leave for New York at the end of the month.
After introductions were made, Mr. Kerensky asked his interviewer in Russian how much Russian she knew, Her answer was "little," but the choice of the Russian word was wrong and the former Russian leader corrected it with an understanding smile, and his eyes twinkled through the thick lenses of his glasses.
Russians ignore With a decided Russian accent, he declared that a planned economic regime can be either democratic or antidemocratic. The Labor party in England is democratic, he said.
Shows Wide Knowledge
The man who became prime minister at the age of 36, in a deep voice discussed Chinese art, educational systems here and abroad, the difference between socialism in England and communism in Russia and the effectiveness of the Marshall plan.
Russians Ignore Personality
"The first essential aim of the British is the development of human freedom but the Russians negate the autonomy of human personality.
glasses.
Mr. Kerensky wore a gray suit and shirt and a gray tie with a small red stripe.
"In 1905. Lenin, hirself, wrote a pamphlet "Two Tactics" which pointed out that socialism without political democracy would become totalitarianism. Lenin said that socialism without freedom is reactionary.
Of the reconstruction of German military might, Mr. Kerensky said, "It is impossible to rebuild the military might of Germany for many decades, unless some other country (one of the allies) would bring this about."
ernment based on his time. From time to time, Mr. Kerensky ran his hand through his short hair Impossible to Rebuild Germany
"Later in 1917, Lenin betrayed his own belief and now the Stalin regime has a general reactionary government based on slavery."
He added that Europe cannot exist without the building up of German industrial power. "The Marshall plan will accomplish its purpose and will keep communism from spreading into Europe unless 'it is too little or too late'," Mr. Keren-sky said.
"Stalin was probably pleased. It is very like friends who live in the same house, one is happy over the other's success."
Mr. Kerensky said that Henry A. Wallace's recent political victory in New York was unexpected to everyone.
Wallace Victory Pleases Stalin
Of Mr. Wallace's chances in the November election, he estimated Wallace would probably receive "a million votes only." "Wallace is some sort of an admirer of the totalitarian regime in Russia. I don't see how you can continue to have liberal ideas with a totalitarian regime. It is a psychological enigma to me."
"The veterans are a much more interesting type of student. They are more interested in political and social affairs than the students before the war."
Asked whether the European system of education produced more mature adults, Mr. Kerensky said that he thought it depended upon the individual rather than on a system.
He said that he thought a college or a university in a city the size of Kansas City was the best for the student and the teacher. It gave more peace and quiet to both.
The cast of nearly 100 actors and musicians from the Topeka Civic theater and four University students succeeded in giving an excellent performance in the pre-Broadway production of a "A Cry of Players" by Will Gibson.
The play centers about the wild, mispassed days of Will Shakespeare's youth in Stratford before he leaves his home and family to follow a group of actors to London. Shakespeare rebels against the conventions of his day to lead a free, independent life of his own.
The play will be presented at 8 tonight, Wednesday, and Thursday for University students. Activity ticket coupons may be exchanged in the basement of Green hall.
ALEXANDER KERENSKY
Tom Shay, College junior, does well in his role of Will Shakespeare. Herk Harvey as Sir Thomas Lucy does a realistic job as an arrogant landowner and justice of the peace.
Audience Likes 'Cry Of Players'
Miss Margaret Webster, New York producer and director who attended the play Friday, said that it was "extremely interesting and the performance was remarkably good." Miss Webster and Miss Carly Wharton will produce the play on Broadway.
Tom Rea, as Roche, the former schoolmaster and constant friend of Shakespeare, adapts himself well to the elderly role which he plays. Loren Kennedy plays the role of Kemp, leader of the players who come to Straford. He, too, is excellent.

KU To Keep Briar Manor
The University will keep its lease on Briar manor under a decision given by Judge Hugh Means.
John Riling, an attorney for the University, said that the University lease would continue without change. A suit for injunction to set aside the lease was taken under advisement by Judge Means Feb. 16.
Briar manor is leased to the University for use as a women's residence hall. The suit was brought by members of the Lawrence Women's club, owner of the building, who expressed dissatisfaction with the present arrangement and sought use of full facilities of the building for club activities.
A. B. Mitchell, former attorney general for Kansas, worked with Mr. Rilling in preparing the case for the University.
