AUSTRIAN Count
believes Peace
WILL COME soon
Doubts That Austria Hun
gary Will Annex Large
Part of Serbia
CANNOT Be Starved
into SURRENDER. He Says
Br CARL w. ACKERMAN

United Press staff Correspondent.
BUDAPEST, June 6 (Via Berlin. de-
layed) II do not look for the an
nexation of any large part Of Serbia
by Austria-Hungary," declared Count
Albert Apponyi, opposition leader in
the Hungarian Parliament. in an eX-
elusive interview granted the United
Press today "Only strategic posi-
tions must remain in our hands"
Count AppOnyi is often called the
greatest statesman of Hungary"
His statement is important not only
because it Is the first public utterance
by leading statesman of the Dual
Monarchy on the Balkan question, but
because it gives the world an idea
of what Hungarians believe should be
done with Serbia at the end Of the
war. It is their idea that Austria
Hungary should retain strategic
points that will prevent the Balkans
from again kindling a world war
II personally do not believe that
Karageorgvitch dynasty which former
ly ruled Serbia should return" con-
tinued Count Apponyi "The Kara.
georgvitch rulers organized permanent
conspiracies against our safety. culm-
mating in the assassination at Sara
jevo of the Archduke Ferdinand, the
act that precipitated the war. We
cannot tolerate such rule again. Fur
thermore, Bulgaria and Greece must
be constructed into efficient powers.
Bulgaria must obtain her rights in
Macedonia"
Count Apponyi believes peace is
not far distant.
Before there can be effective steps
20 bring peace, there must be false
steps," he said This period we are
passing through now. The success of
mediation does not hinge upon the
personality of the mediator, but upon
the spirit in which mediation is offer.
EIDE. Those who have been consider.
ed as possible peace makers-Presi
dent Wilson, Pope Benedict. the King
of Spain and the Queen OF Holland
are all welcome as peace-makers, pro
vided they bring real fairness and i'm
partiality and advocate terms which
can be accepted without our renounc
ing the necessary aims of defensive
warfare. That means that we must
have effective guarantees for the fu
ture safety of Europe.
There is no doubt>that we can hold
out until the coming harvest. Then
the economic situation will be COM
pletely altered. making it evident that
we can not be starved into surrender
ing. l do not thing eur enemies any
longer entertain hopes of military sue
cesses. When they are convinced OF
the efficiency Of the economic meas
ures we have taken, too, then the time
will be ripe for peace"
