COUNT APPOINT, AUSTRIAN DIP.
LoMAT, EXPRESSES HIS FAITH
IN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.
STATEMENT IN PARLIAMENT
Regrets Failure Of Foreign Minister to
Appoint Successor to Discharged
Ambassador to Washinston-Looks
to Services Of Great Republic.

London, Sept. 25.-Budapest papers
received in London contain the fol-
lowing report of statement made by
Count Albert AppOnyi in the Hunga-
rian parliament in the course of a
speech on the foreign policy Of the
government regarding the absence of
the AuStrO-Hungarian ambassador I'm
Washington:
ut is one of the failures of the for
eign minister that he did not appoint
an ambassador in place of the dis
charged AustrO-Hungarian ambaSsa-
dor at Washington. We are all liv-
ing in hope that when at last peace
comes and when the time arrives for
neutral power 10 offer her services
it will be the great republic across the
Atlantic ,as most fit for a work Of
such magnitude.
"We all hope the United States ad-
ministration will take the affair in
hand sooner or later when they deem
it proper to do so, and we find our
selves not even represented diplomat
ically in Il proper manner.
Il know that certain steps or hints
were offered on the part Of the
United States TO the effect that the
position of ambassador should be
filled by the monarchy. In spite of
this we have not moved, although the
interests of the monarchy demand
that we should have reliable and
able representative there"
In Hungarian political circles it is
rumOred that should Count AppOnyi
himself be asked to accept the mis-
sion as ambassador to Washington
he would not refuse to do so, and
that his appointment would be re-
ceived most favOrably in America.
