The Government means by a just and democratic peace, which is desired by the immense majority of the workers and the labouring classes, exhausted and depleted by the war--that peace which the Russian workers and peasants, after having struck down the Tsarist monarchy, have not ceased to demand categorically--immediate peace without annexations (that is to say, without conquest of foreign territory, without forcible annexation of other nationalities), and without indemnities.
