In addition to the points set forth in yesterday's advices ad-vices from Brest-Litovsk regarding the provisional agreement between the representatives of Russia and the central cen-tral powers, another clause is included, tho precise meaning of which Is not clear. A Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam Am-sterdam gives the clause thus: "It was agreed that both legally and economlcally'.one country should not be treated less favorably by another than any third country which cannot appeal to treaty rights." The Gorman wireless version of this clause reads: "It was agreed that respecting all rights of Intercourse and economic rotations, ro-tations, none of the countries which is a party to the peace arrangement shall bo treated less favorably than any outside out-side country in respect to which treaty rights do, or do not exist." This probably is In offect th.e familiar famil-iar "most favored nation" clause which frequently is Included in treaties. t |
