Germany's prompt economic revival Is foreseen and the declaration says "any Idea of opposing or obstructing It Is far from the thoughts of the government." Says France Is Prepared. "But," It Is added, '.'prosperity of the aggressor with the ruin of the victorious people would be, according to the most elementary morality, a challenge France cannot accept. We have the force, and would be able to use it If necessary, to Impose respect for all the undertakings signed, but republican France is essentially pacific and It Is In peace she wants to bring Germany to execute the obligation she has signed." Referring to the relations of France and the Uulted States, M. Brland declares that the imperishable bonds forged on the battlefields will "guarantee our union in peace as in war."

Washington A "public and solemn" engagement among the great jKiwers not to violate, or to permit the violation of, the territorial Integrity of Russia Is regarded by President Wilson as the sine qua non of an attempt at the pacification of Armenia and other states bordering on the former empire. His views are given in a note transmitted to Paul Hymans, president of the league of nations assembly, by acting Secretary of State Davis, made public January 22. The "distressful situation" of Armenia, Invaded by both the Turkish nationalists and the Soviets, is only one detail of the Russian problem, the president says, and he urges his conviction that it is only by a general and comprehensive treatment of the of problem, "only by full the principal powers," thut a hopeful approach to the pacification and inde pendence of Annenia can be found. The president says lie has never believed that the problems raised by the bolshevik coup could be solved by outs'ide military actions, and he expresses the hope that the tragical events on the Polish front and in the Crimea have convinced the world that armed invasion is not the way to bring peace to Russia. Settlement Within. Mr. Wilson adds that these events have only strengthened hte convictions that the Russian revolution must be developed to a satisfactory conclusion by the Russians, with such help as may be "voluntarily received." The problem, he says. Is one of relations between central Russian and surrounding smaller national groups. Bitter and mutual distrust, he states. Is the cause of the unrest and instability along the border; the struggling new nationalities are afraid to disarm and return to peace, because they distrust the bolshevikl, while the Soviets contend they are afraid to demobilize, fearing new attacks. Time Propitious. Mr. Wilson expresses the opinion that the present offers a "peculiarly pressing challenge" to an attempt at general pacification on the Russian borders along the lines of a clear distinction between offense and defense. "Such an attempt seems to the president to be the only logical development of the request to mediate In the Armenian conflict. It is obvious that these small, struggling border states will not attack great Russia unless encouraged by promise of support from the stronger powers," the note says. Would Fix Responsibility. The president suggests a "public and soleiiui" declaration among the powers to reirala from extending such aid, declarlngtthat In this way responsibility for any- - new war on the Russian border would be "clearly placed." "If the principal powers represented on the council of the league," Mr. Wilson concludes, "find themselves in accord with the "president, and will assure him of their moral and diplomatic support, he will Instruct his personal Mr. Morganthau, to represenfhtive' proceed on his4 mission." v' Ah Uprising In Silesia.

Nlcolat Leulne's ultimatum to the socialists of the world, giving them the "21 conditions" to which they must subscribe before they can be received Into the Third or Communist Internationnle of Moscow, has met with a widespread, if in many cases negative, response. It Indicates a decided spilt in the runks of the socialist party In many countries, judging by reports from ubroad. Lenlne demanded, among other things, that socialist organizations must purge themselves of all raoajvr-ates- , defy all national laws, undermine armies, gain control of the press,' throw off the allied "yoke," promote a world economic crisis, condemn any league of nations, aid the soviet government and abandon for the blood and fire of "red revolution" all conservative social democratic programs. The national executive committee of socialist party of America, In refusing to recommend affiliation, said : "We concede to the Russian comrades the right to formulate their own internal policies without Interference from any other section of the working class movement of the world. What we concede to them we claim for ourselves. Every resolution adopted by our party Implies or claims this right for the American movement." In France the socialists split into three factions following convention at Tours on December 20, at which a motion by the Left Wing to Join the Third Internationale without reservations received 8208 votes, winning by a large majority. The center and right groups oppose the elimination of conservative leaders.
