AUSTRIA-EUNGARY'S
REPLY TO POPE
Continued from page ~

government has in the meantime not
failed in repeated and emphatic dec
larations, which could be heard by
all the world, to give expression to
our own will and that Of the Austro-
Hungarian peoples to prepare an end
to bloodshed by a peace such as your
holiness has In mind.
Happy in thought that our desires
from the first were directed toward
the same object which your holiness
characterizes as one we strive for, we
have taken into close consideration
the concrete and practical sugges-
lions Of your holiness and have come
to the following conclusions:
with deep-rooted conviction we
agree to the leading idea of your
holiness that the future arrangement
Of the world must be based on the
elimination of armed forces and on
the moral force Of right and on the
rule Of international justice and le-
gality.
we, too, are imbued with the hope
that q strengthening Of the sense of
right would morally regenerate hui
manity We support, therefore, your
holiness view that the negotiations
between the belligerents should and
could lead to an understanding by
which both the creation of appropri-
ate guarantees, ornaments on land
and sea and in the air, might be re-
duced simultaneously, reciprocally
and gradually to fixed limit, and
whereby the high seas, which rightly
belong to all the nations of the earth,
may be freed from domination or para
mountcy and be opened equally for the
use Of ALL
Fully conscious Of the Importance
of the promotion of peace on the
method proposed by your holiness,
namely, to submit international dis
putes to compulsory arbitration, we
are also prepared to enter into ne
gotiac1ons regarding this proposal.
IF, as we most heartily desire,
agreements should be arrived at Le-
tween the belligerents, which would
realize this sublime idea and there
by give security to the Austro-Hun-
garian monarchy for its unhampered
future development, it can then not
be difficult to find a satisfactory So
luton of the other questions which
still remain to be settled between the
belligerents in a spirit Of Justice and
Of reasonable consideration of the
conditions for existence of both par
ties
IF the nations Of the earth were
to enter, with desire for peace, into
negotiations with one another in the
sense of your holiness proposals, then
the peace could blossom forth from
them. The nations could attain com
plete freedom of movements on the
high seas, heavy material burdens
could be taken from them and new
souces Of prosperity opened to them
Guided by a spirit Of moderation
and Cancellation, we see in the pro-
posals Of your holiness a suitable ba-
sis for initiating negotiations with a
view to preparing a peace, just to all
and lasting, and we earnestly hope
our present enemies may be animal
ed by the same ideas. In this spirit
We beg that the Almighty may bless
the work of peace begun by your
holiness"
