"The delegations of the allied (Teu
tonic) powers, acting upon the cleur
ly expressed will of their governments
nnd peoples, will conclude us soon as
possible u general peace. The dele
gallons, lu complete nccord with the
repeatedly expressed viewpoint of
their governments, think that the basic
principles of the Russian delegation
can be made the basis of such a peace.
"The delegations of the quadruple
alliance are agreed immediately to
conclude a general peace without for
cible annexations and Indemnities.
"It Is necessary, however, to indicate
most clearly that the proposals of the
Itussiau delegation could be realized
only in case all the powers participat
ing lu the wnr obligate themselves
scrupulously to adhere to the terms In
common with all peoples.
"Regarding the clauses proposed by
tho Itussiau delegation as a bussls of
negotiations, tho following must be
state:
"Clause t Forcible annexations of
territories seized during the war does
not enter Into the Intentions of the
allied powers.
"Clause 2 It is not the intention of
the allies to deprive the political Inde
pendence of those nations which lost
It during tho war.
"Clnuse fl The question of subjec
tion to that or the other country of,
those nationalities which have not po
litical Independence cannot, In tho
opinion of the powers of the quadruple
alliance, bo solved internationally. In
this case It must be solved by ench
government, together with Its peoples,
lu a manner established by tho consti
tution. "Clause -1 Likewise, In accordance
with the declarations of statesmen of
the quadruple alliance, the protection
of the rights of minorities constitutes
an essential component part of the con
stitutional rights of peoples to self
determination. The allied govern
ments also grunt validity to fills' prin
ciple everywhere, In so far as it Is
practically reallzlble.
"Clause fJ-Of the four allied pow
ers Germany nlone possesses colonies.
On the part of the German delegation,
in full accord with the Itussiau pro
posals regurdlng that, the following Is
declared :
"The return of colonial territories
forcibly seized during tho war consti
tutes an essential part of German de
mands, which Germany cannot re
nounce under nny circumstances,"
