its labors within the walls Of the

tive and economic understanding.

sue the struggle until the victory Of their
common cause has been accomplished.

Allies has been definitely quashed.

mously adopted By the conference

termination to pursue the u 9 to

the fact that the military. naval an,
political heads Of all the allied Power,
have been brought into close touch Will
one another. II outside the official dis
cuss!ons have had a chance to discus
