Paris, Oct. 20.

It supports the League of Nations, maintenance of friendship with the Allies, rapprochement with Russia, the helping of German democracy provided the latter helps the Allies to obtain reparations and it expresses lukewarmth to- wards the Kutr recupation, but deprecates any act which German capitalism may construe as anti-French.
