Polish districts conquered by our
brave armies from Russian domina-

bered with deep emotion the many evil
dences of devotion and faith during

Galicia and likewise Of the great and
| heavy sacrifices which this land ex-
| posed to violent hostile attack, has
| to make for the victorious defense OF
| the eastern frontiers of my realm,
| sacrifices which give Gaicia ever
lasting right to my warmest paternal
| care.
"It is therefore my will, at the mo-
! ment when the new state comes into
| existence, to grant in connection with
| this evolution, the right to the land
| Of Galicia to settle public affairs auto
| nomously so far as is consistent with
the fact that Galicia forms part of our
| commonwealth and so far as is con-
| sistent with the welfare of that land
| and thus to offer the population OF
| Galicia a guarantee Of national and
| economic development.
