ional government is steadily gaining in strength and activity.
 "The constitutional-demo par | ty. the labor party. the socialist pop ulists and excepting a small group of extremists. the social demOcrats-all | the parties embracing the vast majori- ty of the people are represented by strong leaders in the new government thereby securing for it's authority. | Firmly convinced that unity of power | is essential and casting aside class and special interests all social and po- litical elements have joined in the na- tional program which the new gov ernment proclaimed and which it is striving to fulfill.
 | No Annexations.
 This program follows:
 "'The provisional government, re- rejecting in accord with the whole people of Russia. all thought of sep arate peace. puts it openly as it's de- liberate purpose the promptest achievement of universal peace; such peace to presume no dominion over other nations, no desire of their na- tional property nor any forced usur- patton of foreign territory; peace with no annexations or contributions. based upon the free determination by each nation of it's destinies.
 "'Being fully convinced that the es- tablishment of democratic principles in it's internal and external policy has created a new factor in the striving of allied democracies for durable peace and fraternity of all nations-the pro- visional government will take prepar- atory steps for an agreement with the the allies founded on it's declaration of March 27th. The provisional gov ernment is conscientious that the de- feat of Russia and her allies would be a great source of great misery and would not only postpone peace but would even make impossible the estab- lishment of universal peace on firm basis.
 Victory Must Come.
 "The provisional government is con vinced that the revolutionary army of Russia woll not allow the German troops to destroy our allies on the western front and then fall upon us with the whole might of their weap- cns. The chief aim of the provisional government will be to fortify the democratic foundations of the army and organize and consolidate the army's fighting power for it's defensive as well as offensive purposes.
 "The last decision of the Russian congress of the workmens' and sol diers' delegates, the decision of the all-Russian peasant congress, the de- cision of the Duma, the voice of the country as expressed from day to day by almost the entire Russian press, in ferences and congresses - all these confirm their full support to this na- tional program and leave not the slightest doubt that Russia is decided to fight the German autocracy under these conditions for a stable peace.
 Such decision is becoming more and more evident each day and shows itself in the rapid reorganization of the army which is being fulfilled un- der the firm and efficient measures adopted by Minister Kerensky.
 "To Make World Safe"
 "The Russian people thoroughly un- derstand and are fully convinced that it is absolutely necessary to root out the autocratic principles which under lie and are represented by German militarism and which threaten the peace, the freedom and the happiness of the world. The Russian people feel most keenly that no stable peace can he secured until the German autocratic principles are destroyed and that otherwise the revolution will have been in vain and it's achievements will | perish.
 New Russia. in full accord with the | motives which impelled the United | States to enter the war. is striving to | destroy tyranny. to establish peace or | a secure and permanent foundation | and to make the world safe for demoo racy"
