In its first reference to the Interallied
debts, the declaration said:
‘‘The nations which are our credi
tors, and whom France has the firm
will to pay within every measure of
her capacity, have as great an Inter
est as ourselves that we should, before
everything, put an end to the mone
tary crisis. This crisis is due to mul
tiple causes, but It is in no way Im
possible to calm Its violence and an
nihilate its dangerous effects.”
In conclusion the declaration said:
"France has known graver and more
painful hours than the present. She
saved herself by union and energy.
Today again victory is subordinate to
the same conditions. Let us immedi
ately begin the heavy task, for the re
public, for the country!”
