Marx: The General Council has called a conference to consult 
the delegates of the various countries about the measures to be 
taken to guard against the risks which the Association is running 
in a large number of countries, and to set up a new organisation 
to meet the needs of the situation. 

Secondly, to draw up a response to the various governments 
that are working unceasingly to destroy the Association by every 
means at their disposal. 

And finally to reach a definitive solution to the Swiss conflict. 

Other secondary questions will certainly be raised during the 
course of the conference and should be resolved. 

Citizen Marx adds that it will be necessary to make a public 
declaration to the Russian government, which is trying to implicate 
the Association in a certain affair relating to a secret society whose 
main leaders are completely unconnected with or hostile to the 
Association.*” 

This conference is private, but when all the delegates have 
returned to their countries, the General Council will publish those 
resolutions which the Conference deems it necessary to publish.
