Despite what the
Democratic Conference could try to do or say it would do, matters concerning
the make-up of the new government are being discussed and settled at the Winter
Palace. Kerensky had offered ministries to two Cadets: the industrialist Konovalov
was to be Vice President and Minister of Trade and Industry, and Kishkin was to
be Minister of Public Welfare. The Cadet central committee thought they should
accept, because, they said, the proposal had originated with the British
ambassador, Buchanan. A coalition acceptable to the Entente was very important
to the big bourgeoisie who did business with them.
