September %, 1899:
After the German Reich's gov

signed today. definitely solved
questions resulting from the dis
integration of the Polish state

foundation for permanent peace

nations to bring to an end the

and England and France on the
other
Cooperation for Goal.
Both governments, therefore,
will concentrate their efforts, if
necessary, in cooperation with
the other friendly powers, toward
reaching this goal. Should, how
ever. the effort of both govern
ments remain unsuccessful, the
fact would thereby be established
that England and France are re-
sponsible for a continuation of

ernments of Germany and the
U. S. S. R. will consult each other
as to necessary measures.

ment and the government of the

of the former Polish state, regard
it as their task to restore peace
and order in these territories in
order to secure for nationalities
living there peaceful existence
according to their national in
dividuality.
For this purpose the two gov
ernments have agreed to the fol-
lowing:
