Germany does not agree to that sort of
peace there will be no dealings between
Eussia and the Teutons, according to a
statement by Foreign Minister Trotsky,

sore of peace where all peoples were
free and might dispose of their own
affairs.
The French ambassador asked Trotsky
what if the Germans refused this sort
of peace.
Trotsky, it was reported, replied that
under these conditions peace would not
be signed because the Maximalist
might be brought to revolutionary
war.

Trotsky added the constituency should
be consulted
