people have always been ready to
offer their lives.
I have dwelt on the straight
forwardness Of Mexico in the con-
duct of its international affairs,
because such conduct is the best
foundation for the unity of our
peoples in the period now beginning
So long as this unity rests on right,
abides by the comfy of nations, and
Is kindled by cooperation and sus-
tanned by the resolve to reach q
just goal-the goal of living with
honor and progressing without i'm
pairment Of MISUNDERSTANDING

our peoples. ~
Example Set for World.
Nations, like individuals, work to-
gether successfully only when they
undertake jointly something they
would also wish to accomplish sew
orally. Mexico and the United States
have an example to set for the world
the example of two countries,
however different in size and wealth,
cooperating on plane of juridical
equality above suspicion, and whose
relations are not based on force.
How could we hope for the demo-
cratic solidarity which we so much
desire for all peoples, if we ourselves,
American and Mexicans, were not
capable of sharing peace in frank
ness and in loyalty? How could we
expect that non-contiguous coun-
tries reach what we, neighbors by
reason Of history and geography
fail to accomplish In friendship and
disinterest? ..,r-
Fortunately In recent times both
OF us have learned a few things. We
have learned that isolation Is not a
good formula for living; that it is
not good tactics for security. We
have learned that if the goal is not
domination Of one system over an
other-necessarily a transitory and
unjust condition-much more Is
achieved In single year of. loyal
cooperation than In many years Of
naCred ana rancor.
We have learned that democracy,
II not backed by force, whets the
appetite Of dictators, and that the
most powerful force to uphold de-
mocracy lies not in tanks and ord
nance, but in the conviction of the
men who, when conflict finally
breaks out, will drive the tanks and
fire the cannon.
Equal Responsibility.
And we have further learned, that
in order to give the citizenry assur-
ance of their own strength, we must
not fail to impress on them that the
power of their country does not i'm
peril civilization and is no hindrance
to the development Of man regard
less Of race and creed.
This we learned during the war.
1t will rise against us, should we ig-
more it in the peace.
All of us accepted an equal respon-
sibility in the struggle. Therefore,
we could not now understand peace
for which we were not equally re-
sponsible. Having admitted every
one to the most grievous sacrifices
in the name Of freedom and of JUS
tice, it is only meant that all men be
entitled to enjoy victory In which
justice and liberty prevail.
The mission of the United States
in this joint effort to insure for the
democracies a future of justice and
freedom, has been perfectly under
stood and appreciated in all its
greatness by the Mexican people.

By the Assoeiated Press

LONDON, Nov. 28.-In diplomatic
terms, the Foreign Ministers OF the
western powers have asked the
Soviet Union what her price is for
getting out Of Austria and agreeing
to sign an Austrian peace treaty.
This proposal was put before the
Russians yesterday at the four
power Foreign Ministers Conference
in French compromise for ending
the long stalemate over what is and
what is not a German asset" in
Austria. The Soviet deputy for
Austria asked time to study the
proposal.
The French compromise, covering
5000 words, boils down to two points,
It provides for Soviet capital repara-
tions In oil and Danube shipping and
asks Russia and the other Allies to
specify the amounts in money which
would cover their other claims. Their
over a period of from eight to II
years, Austria would try to settle
those claims from current produc'

French Proposal Seeks to End
StuIemute on Austrian 1reuty

Soviet reparations In oil would |
come from the long disputed lister |
dorf oil fields northeast of Vienna
in the Russian zone which now are
being operated by the Russians.
Last year Austria sought to ma
tionalize the old fields, but met with
a Soviet veto.
The French now propose that the
Russians receive full possession OF
the oil plant and drilling equipment
which belonged to Germany at the
end of the war, plus an oil conces-
sion for a certain period guaranteed
against Austrian naturalization.
Since the other Allies agreed
months ago what factories were and
what were not German assets, the
French proposal is aimed at the
Russians.
According to the Big Three agree
ments, Austria was to be treated as
a liberated" country and not sub
ject to reparations. After the occu-
patton, however, Soviet authorities
seized large assets in their zone on
the ground they were owned by the
Germans.
/ They sought such a broad defini-
ton of German assets that Austrian
leaders said it would include a
prohibitive amount of property,
making it impossible for Austria
to support herself.
Seeks to End Deadlock.
In three months of fruitless ne
gotiations last summer, Russia re.
fused even to list the factories and
other properties 1t considered Ger
man" assets.
Thus, the French compromise yes
terday attempted to end the COM
plete stymie in the negotiations. 1t
avoids all definition of assets and
politely asks the Russians, and other
countries, how much?
In this manner the contradicting
of previous agreements is carefully
avoided. When reparations are
mentioned, they are called Ger
man reparations.
Il Thus:
The most appropriate method Of
receiving reparations from Germany
in accordance with the decision
taken at the Crimean and Potsdam
Conferences consists in receiving in
kind products or equipment which
may best contribute to the recon-
struction of the Allied countries
"''. This purpose would better
be accomplished by the delivery of
products from the Austrian economy
than by making levy on German
property in their present form and
situation in Austria ="
Would Pay in Goods.
That is, Austria buys" the Ger
man factories within her boundaries
by paying in goods. In effect, Aus
tria would pay in goods in a man
ner similar to that provided for for
mer enemy states in the satellite
l treaties.
From the western side the Rus
sian claim will be weighed interna-
tionally against the advantage of
having the occupation of Austria
end and the Russian troops with
draw. Russian troop Withdrawals
also would mean withdrawal from
Romania and Hungary, where the
Soviet Union is allowed to keep a
force "along its lines of commune
cations" to Austria.
Since the pre-anschluss days Aus
tria has been a debtor country and
it Is not unreasonable to suppose,
western sources said, that the West
ern Allies will have to foot part of
the bill to re-establish her so she
can pay reparations, in effect; by
purchasing the German factories.
