 Paris, Jan. 22-The full text of the official communication issued by the Supreme Council this evening reads
 '"rhe President of the United States, | the Prime Ministers and Foreign Min isters of allied and Associated Powers and Japanese representatives met at the Quay du Orsay between 3 and 530 this afternoon and approved the proposal of President Wilson, which reads as follows:
 "rhe single object the representa- tives of the Associated powers have had in mind in their discussion of the course they should pursue with re- gard to Russia has been to help the Russian people, not to hinder them or to interfere in any manner with their right to settle their own affairs in their own way.
 Russians Are Friends. "They regard the Russian people as their friends, not their enemies, and are willing to help them in any way they are willing to be helped. It is clear to them that the troubles and dlstrust of the Russian people will steadily increase, hunger and privation of every kind become more and more acute, more and more widespread and more and more impossible to re- lleve, unless order is restored and normal conditions of labor, trade and transportation once more created and they are seeking some way in which to assist the Russian people to establish order
 They recognize the absolute right Of the Russian people to direct their own affairs without dictation or direc- tion of any kind from outside They do not wish to exploit or make use of Russia in any way.
 They recognize the revolution with out resefvation and will in no way and under no circumstances aid or give countenance to any attempt at counter revolution
 No FavOrifism.
 l Ut is not their wish or purpose to favor or assist any one of the organ lzed groups now contending for the leadership and guidance of Russia, as against the others. Their sole and sincere purpose is to do what they can to bring Russia peace and an oppor- l tunity to find her way out of her present troubles.
 The Associated powers are now en. gagged in the solemn and responsible work of establishing the peace of Europe and of the world and they are keenly alive to the fact that Europe and the world cannot be at peace if Russia is not. They recognize and ac- cept it as duty to serve Russia as generously, as unselfishly, as thought. 1uily, as ungrudgingly, as they would serve any other friend and ally, and they are ready to render this ser vice in the way that is most accept able to the Russian people.
 Invite Representatives.. "ln this spirit and with this pur- pose, they have taken the following action: They invite every organized group that S now exercising or at- tempting to exercise political authority or military control anywhere in Si- beria, or within the boundaries of European Russia as they stood before the war just concluded, except in Fin land, to send representatives not ex- ceeding three representatives for each group to Princes Islands, Sea of Nor mora, where they will be met by rep- resentatives of the Associated Powers provided in the meantime there is truce of arms amongst the parties in- vited and that all armed forces any, where sent or directed against any people or territory inside the boun- darles of European Russia, as they stood before the war, or against Fin land, or against any people or terri- tory whose autonomous action is contemplation in the IA articles upon which the present negotiations are based, shall be meanwhile withdrawn and aggressive military actions cease. 1 May Talk Freely.
 "These representatives are invited to confer with the representatives of the Associated Powers in the freest l and frankest way with a view tO ascertaining the wishes of all the Rus sian people and bring about, if pos- sible, some understanding. and agree ment by which Russia may work out her own purposes, and happy, coop erative relations be established be- tween her people and the other peo- ples, of the world. A prompt reply to this invitation is requested. Every facility for the journey of the repres- entatives, including transportation across the Black Sea, will be given by the allies, and all the parties con- cerned are expected to give the same facilities. The representatives will be expected at the place appointed by the fifteenth of February, 1919. Inc proposal will be Sent tonight by wireless to the intersated partiea
