t'elepation, declared that France woul.i
never consent to havinir a mixed rora
mission on which Russians served
pive consideration lo Russian credits
debts and treatment of forcipn prop
erty nationalized in Russia.
The French statement declared
that the Russian-; have ah-e-idy driven
wedprs between the powers nnj miphl

should reach complete npi cement be
