Init, which is approved, as a matter
of course, by our chamber, composed
mainly Of agriculturists, or their near
relatives, who are anxious to see the
price of wheat go up. 1t is only the
lower classes In France that desire the
Russian alliance and have brought
about the good understanding between
France and Russia. The ministers,
since Jules Ferry and Casimir Perier,
always opposed it. Only the people
saw that help could only come from
Russia. The treaty, as matter Of
fact, is not yet even outlined. There
is, of course, o sympathy between the
officers Of the Russian army and feet
and ours that would make it difficult
to prevent the French from assisting
Russia if the latter went to war. This
may not be known to NJ. Carnot, who
reigns but does not govern, because no
one ever tells him ANYTHING"
