Race Prejudice Charged.

This deliberate and persistent Spl!cy Of
the Austro-Hunga Government with
reference 20 the italian population was
not only due to internal conditions
brought about by the competition Of the
different nationalities within its terri
tory. but was inspired In great part
by a deep sentiment OF hostility and
aversion toward Italy, which prevailed

Italy Says Pact Wa. Broken.

pacts-the pledge to exchange views

tons OF a general nature that might
arise. Pursuant to It's terms none OF
the contracting parties had the right t.

article was violated by Austria Hungary
when she sent TO Serbia her noted dated
July %, 1914. an action taken withou;
the previous assent Of Italy.
Thus. AUSTRIA Hungary violated be-
yond doubt one of the fundamental pro-
visions OF the treaty. The obligation OF
Austr!a-Hungary 10 come 10 a previous
understanding with Italy was the
greater because her obstinate policy
against Serbia gave rise to a situation
which directly tended to the provocatlon
OF a European war. AS far back as the

eminent, preoccupied by the prevailing
feeling In Vienna, caused 20 be laid be-
fore the Aus;ro-Hungar.an Government.

at.on and warning IL OF the impending
danger or a European outbreak.
The course adopted hy Austria-Hun-
gary against Serbia constituted, more
over, a dlrec; encroachment upon the
general interests OF Italy. both political
and economical, in the Balkan PENN
sula. Austrla-Hungary could not for a
moment imagine that Italy could remain
Indifferent while Serbian independence
was being trodden upon. on a number
OF occasions, therefore. Italy gave Aus
tria 10 understand. In friendly but clear
terms. that the Independence OF Serbia
was considered by Ita.y as essential 20
Balkan equilibrium. Austria-Hungary
was further advised that Italy could
never permit that equilibrium to he dis
turbed TO her prejudice. This warning
had been conveyed not only by her diplo-
mats In private conversations with re-
sponsible Austro-Hungarlan officials. but
was proclaimed publicly ny Italian
statesmen on the floors Of Parliament.
Therefore. when Austrla-Hungary ig-
nored the usual practices and menaced
Serbia by sending her an ult!matum
without In any way notifying the Italian
Government OF what she proposed TO do,
indeed leaving that Government to learn
OF her action through the press rather
than through the usual channels OF d.
plomacy. when Austria-Hungary took
this unprecedented course she not only
severed her alliance with Italy but COM
m!tted an act inimical TO Italian in-
terests.
