Entente Powers. He declared emphatically
his agreement with Count KaroIyi's views
that SO long as q Hungarian was left alive
the Hungarian nation would resist to the III
most any attack upon its integrity. do not
speak here Of RoumNnia where today we con-
front the hostile tendency of hostile elements.
He continued:, [ speak OF enemies aud of the
fact that we must wage war further if we
wish to defend our integrity. for this war is
directed against our integrity. It is openly
avOwed that the partition of the Monarchy
made especially Of The Hungarian State is
the object aimed at. so long as we face
such a situation we shall NOT speak in this
House of peuce, but OF victory. Every
body knows that we did not be-

that even in the days before the begin
ming of the war and since then during the
course of the war, we have always been
ready for honorable peace. The task for
the present moment is to make every eX8r-
ton for victory.

that amount said MIR. Nc. kenna The Nation

to Allies and Dominions of tue Empire,
the sum left being a burden it could we'll
sustain as it vas practically balanced by
the present National income.
