“We warn the Moscow workers and soldiers to be on their guard. Leaving this Council, we appeal to the manhood and wisdom of the workers, peasants and soldiers of all Russia. Petrograd is in danger! The Revolution is in danger! The Government has increased the danger—the ruling classes intensify it. Only the people themselves can save themselves and the country. “We appeal to the people. Long live immediate, honest, democratic peace! All power to the Soviets! All land to the people! Long live the Constituent Assembly!” 5. THE “NAKAZ” TO SKOBELIEV _Resumé_ (Passed by the _Tsay-ee-kah_ and given to Skobeliev as an instruction for the representative of the Russian Revolutionary democracy at the Paris Conference.) The peace treaty must be based on the principle, “No annexations, no indemnities, the right of self-determination of peoples.” _Territorial Problems_ (1) Evacuation of German troops from invaded Russia. Full right of self-determination to Poland, Lithuania and Livonia. (2) For Turkish Armenia autonomy, and later complete self-determination, as soon as local Governments are established. (3) The question of Alsace-Lorraine to be solved by a plebiscite, after the withdrawal of all foreign troops. (4) Belgium to be restored. Compensation for damages from an international fund. (5) Serbia and Montenegro to be restored, and aided by an international relief fund. Serbia to have an outlet on the Adriatic. Bosnia and Herzegovina to be autonomous. (6) The disputed provinces in the Balkans to have provisional autonomy, followed by a plebiscite. (7) Rumania to be restored, but forced to give complete self-determination to the Dobrudja…. Rumania must be forced to execute the clauses of the Berlin Treaty concerning the Jews, and recognise them as Rumanian citizens. (8) In Italia Irridenta a provisional autonomy, followed by a plebiscite to determine state dependence. (9) The German colonies to be returned. (10) Greece and Persia to be restored. _Freedom of the Seas_ All straits opening into inland seas, as well as the Suez and Panama Canals, are to be neutralised. Commercial shipping to be free. The right of privateering to be abolished. The torpedoing of commercial ships to be forbidden. _Indemnities_ All combatants to renounce demands for any indemnities, either direct or indirect—as, for instance, charges for the maintenance of prisoners. Indemnities and contributions collected during the war must be refunded. _Economic Terms_ Commercial treaties are not to be a part of the peace terms. Every country must be independent in its commercial relations, and must not be obliged to, or prevented from, concluding an economic treaty, by the Treaty of Peace. Nevertheless, all nations should bind themselves, by the Peace Treaty, not to practise an economic blockade after the war, nor to form separate tariff agreements. The right of most favoured nation must be given to all countries without distinction. _Guarantees of Peace_
