doubt that Russia is decided as to the
necessity to fight the German autoc-

established.
Such decision is becoming more anf

Of the army which is now being full

The Governments Program
This program follows:
This provisional government, re-
Jecting. in accord with the whole peo-

peace. puts it openly as Its deliberate
purpose the promptest achievement of
universal peace; such peace to pre-
sumo no dominion over other nations,
no seizure Of their national property
nor any forced usurpaton of foreign
territory; peace with no lamentations
or contributions, based upon the free
determination by each nation of its
destinies.
"'Being fully convinced that the es-
adjustment of democratic principles
in its internal and external policy has
created new factor in the striving
of allied democracies for durable peace
and fraternity Of all nations. the pro-
ViSlonal government will take pre-
paratory steps for an agreement with
the allies founded on it's declaration
of March ~. The provisional govern
ment is conscious that the defeat Of
Russia and her allies would be the
source of the greatest misery and
would not only postpone. but even
make impossible the establishment of
universal peace on n firm basis. The
provisional government is convinced
that the revolutionary army of Russia
will not allow the German troops to
destroy our allies on the western
front and then fall upon us with the
whole might Of their weapons. The
chief aim of the provisional govern
ment will be to fortifv the democratic
foundations of the army and organize
and consolidate the army's fighting
power for its defensive as well as Of
