Text of the French Note
j Th full text of the French note is as
(fallows :
( "Mr. Secretary of State :
4 "The president of the council nnd
minister of foreign affair having taken
cognizance of the note relative to Hus-
fcla addressed by his exeellecny tin
Secretary of state to his excellency the
ambassador of Italy, has ihargcil me to
inform your excellency that he has
learned with jnllsfftctlon that the gov
ern men t nf the rcptlhllc is in entlic
agreement with the federal government
ns regards the principles formulated lu
this document.
."The government of the republic Is
of the same opinion ns the federal gov
ernment concerning the. present rule
of Itussln. As your excellency himself
expressed It. they are not In power b
tlm will op thn consent of n consider
able portion of the Htisslan people, but
represent n sman minority 01 inc nation.
They hne seized power by force and
bv trickery. During the two nnd n half
years they have retained power, mean
while subjecting the country to savage
oppression they have not vet authorized
popular election, wn tne contrary.
the lime put obstacles in the way of
ilie creation of a popular representa
tive goernment based on universal suf
frnge Invents have proved that the
present Mem of government iu Rus
sia Is founded on the denial of evcrv
principle of honor and good faith, and
of all the nsojes and conventions which
are the hol of relations between
nations nnd Individuals
"The responsible heads of this regime
have frequent! and openly boasted of
being ready to sign agreements nnd
contracts with foreign powers without
having the least Intention of observing
them Tliev clulm that no contrac or
agreement concluded with non-IIol-shevist
governments can bind them
morally.
"After having proclaimed this doc
trine, thev hne applied it, nnd the
have declared they would foment revo
lutionary movements In other countries
by all possible means In order to estab
lish n Bolshevist regime Furthermore,
thev recognize thnt they are themselves
Mibject to the control of a political
faction having International ramifica
tions, anil they have hoasted that their
promises of nonintervention in other
tountries would be In no ense binding
on the ngents of this organisation.
American Judgment Correct
"All these judgments of the Ameri
can Government are absolutely true.
As a consecpience. the federal govern
ment fonsiders it impossible to recog
nize the present mn.ters of Itussla as a
government with which the relation
common to friendly governments can be
maintained.
"The government of the republic has
reached the same conclusion. It can
not have official relations with a gov
ernment which is resolved o conspire
against its institutions; whose diplo
mats would be instigators of revolt, and
whose spokesmen proclaim that they
wilt sign contracts with the intention
not to observe them.
"In complete- accord with the federal
government, the trench Uovcrnmentbe
lleves In the necessity for an independ
ent Polish state, nnd the French neo
pie. like the American people, ardently
desires the maintenance of the polltlcnl
independence and the territorial In
tegrltv of IVand,
"This is why thete Is agreement be
tween the French Government nnd the
American wovcrntnent to cncournee nil
efforts made with a view to bringing
nbotit an armistice between I'oland and
Itussla. while avoiding giving to the
negotiations a chnroetcr which might
result m tue recognition of the nolshe
vlst regime and In the dismemberment
of Itussln
"The federal government, as the In
terpreter of the feelings of the Ameri
can people, desires to help the Itusslan
people, In whose future the United
Stntes retains an unshaken faith. The
government of the republic associates
Itself unreservedly with this declara
tion. The French Government has
never nltcred In Its determination to
uphold the principles so clearly formu
lated bv the United States. It Is in
this spirit that it has decided not to
approve the armjstlec conditions offered
to I'oland unless they are in conformity
with these principles.
"It Is in this spirit also that, after
mature examination, it has, in fact,
recognized a Hussion government which
declares that It accepts the same prin
ciples. "In Informing jour excellency of the
reception given to the declarations of
the American Government by the
French Government. 1 am Instructed by
M. Millernnd to notify you that the
French Government is happr to have
this one further assurance of the close
harmony of feeling which animates the
French ami American peoples when the
future of civilization Is nt stake."
Commenting on the French reply.

that the French Government ts in tn
tirA agreement with tho principles set
forth in the American note. It adopts
almost In identical words the vlewa of
this government regarding the Soviet
regime In Itussla, nnd declares that
France can have no official relations
with a government which is resolved
to conspire against Its institutions;
whose diplomats will be Instigators of
revolt, and whose spokesmen proclaim
that they will sign contractu with the
intention not to observe them.
"The French Government further de
clares without qualification Its belief
In Polish independence and its desire
for the .maintenance of the territorial
integrity of Poland.
".Most gratifying is the declaration of
the 'French Government of IU desire to
help the Russian people, and of Its
opposition to the dismemberment of
Russia. The response is a notable
declaration from every viewpoint, and
brings to the position taken by the
United States a strong emphasis and
powerful support.
"On one point there Is a divergence,
not on purpose or objective, but of
policy. This government has not recog
nl7cd, as the French have done, the
authority exercised by General Wrangcl
in South Russia. But wc are disposed
to regard the declared agreement of
France with tho principles of the United
States ss of more significance than
any divergence of policy involved in
the specific, action of France in this
single respect.
"The Importance of the French posi
tion Is that It discloses that tho two
government have n common objective.
A divergence as' to the means to bo em
ployed for its attainment should not
diminish or qualify the satisfaction
Arising from so complete an accord
as to the malnnpurnosc."

YOU don't know much about real conditions
in Europe. The newspapers don't tell you;
maybe they can't. The diplomats don't tell you;
maybe they don't want to. Here's a man who
knows and can tell; and he does.
Samuel M. Vauclain, president Baldwin Loco
motive Works, went to Europe to sell locomotives;
and to find out what the business situation really
is. He did both.
In System for September, he says:
"The greatest need in Europe is transporta
tion. People are willing to work if they have
something to work with. There is food, if it
could be transported.
"Gifts of goods and excessive loans will re
tard. The attitude, 'Here are hammer and chisel;
get to work,' will help. We have sold locomo
tives only where they could help to pay for
themselves."
He bartered with royalty and ministers of state,
locomotives for oil and wheat. He visited France,
Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Roumania, Serbia,
Italy. You want to know what the president of
the Baldwin Locomotive found out first hand and
told his friends. Your business may not reach to
Europe, but Europe may reach your business.
Get a copy of September System. Read Mr.
Vauclain' s letters "Business in Europe Today."
Notice the other articles you will want to read in
this issue. System is the magazine for business
men who are interested in business. 25 cents at
the news-stand; or $3' for a year's subscription.
In System for September
What the theatre
has taught me about selling
When you go to the theatre you're a
"customer"; John Golden, producer of
"LightninV" and other successful plays,
describes how he studies his customers. He
has found interesting points about how
people buy; points that count in business.
You can learn
from business of 60 years ago
A. B. Farquhar writes about the relations
between employer and employee in 1858;
he tells the lessons he learned when me
chanics gave their best for 90 cents a day.
Speaking of the "8-hour day" he says," It's
better to calculate work by results instead
of hours." Read "My 64 years in busi
ness" in System for September.
More profits by lower prices
The Yellow Cab Co. of Chicago has proved
that it could be done. "People use our
service now," says John Hertz,"because it
is comfortable and reliable; not because it is
cheap. The price is a side issue." Finding
out what people really want to pay for has
an immediate value for every business today.
Selling production to our workers
The Jobbers Overall Company lost money
for a while; but they learned from that ex
perience that "quantity production must
be continuous"; and that the best way to
get it was to "sell" the idea, to their workers.
Read how they get as much production in
five days as formerly in six. It's a subject
you can't get too much of today.
You can do business better
with System than without
it. That's why it's read by a
quartcrmilhon business men.
