ideas" ON PEACE
Austria Has Changed Hers
Radically Since War Started.
Now Aims Only at Right of
People of Internal Control.

Vienna, July 17.-Austria-H Hun
gary's ideas on peace were made
known to the constitution committee
of the reichstag in an address. by the
premier, DIR. Won Seydler. After re-
ferring to the unbreakable unity be-
tween Austria and her allies, DR.. Won
Seydler declared parliament would
work for 1.-The aim for which Austria
is fighting: Namely, the unassailable,
sacred, right of her peoples to decide
for themselves their internal destiny.
This task will be a long stride in the
direction of an honorable peace which
we desire to create on the basis of
Justice, moderation and Cancellation
the firm unity of all civilized peoples
and their uniform endeavor to abolish
those circumstances which brought
about the world war. We are all long
ing for this peace. Until then We are
determined to hold on in firm coop
Grafton between the front and home
land"
DR. Won Seydler referred to the use
lessness of all past efforts to carry
out the principle of equal rights of all
nationalities laid down in the consti-
tuition. This, he said, was the cause
of the political troubles which made
Austria appear sick, a state which,
however, every clear minded person
knew to be untrue. All peoples of
Austria were united eternally And in
ternally by a common tie, by love IF
the dynasty and the uniformity of all
vital interests.
Paving Way for Democracy.
