This process was under way when

While Signor SchanZer, acting
mediator for the entente, was initiat-
ing secret pourparlers regarding the
document, which was to be withheld
frolI the worlds eyes until II could
be discussed and passed on behind
closed doors, a message from New

was being circulated by International

As the result of this pressure,
parts Of the text were then released
for representatives of morning news.

Commissar Tchitcherin, head Of
the Russian delegation, conferred
