During this period OF decision the
agreement specified that only ma
tional and local militia was to re-
main In the territory.
The delegates have also Jointly
stipulated terms for resumption Of
fun and free commercial intercourse
payment for damage done by oc.
cupylng troops.
The agreement practically pro
vides for restoration OF the status
quo ante. with the revocation OF
many laws and national regulations
which have been adopted by both
sides during the struggle.
The main point OF difference dc.
veloped between the two sides is re-
garding the exact time OF German
withdrawal from occupied portions OF
Russia
The Russian delegates insist on i'm.

The German counter proposition Is
for withdrawal after the Russians
have rellnquishcd their occupied
lands and after the peoples in the
German occupied states have an.
nounced their choice of future gov
ernment Reference Is made in the
German proposals to the fact that
several OF the states partially occu.
