Petrograd.-The Central powers.
Count Czernin, the Austro-H hungarian
foreign minister. told the peace con-
ference at BrestLitovsk Christmas
solemnly declare their resolve imme-
diately to sign terms which will ter
inmate the war on conditions equally
Just to all belligerents The Central
powers also favor a general peace
without forcible annexations and in
demnities. They could not bind them
selves to such terms without a guar
antee that Russis's allies would recog-
nize them and carry them out honest
ly toward the Central powers.
Count Czernin declared that the
Central powers believed the basic
principles uttered by the Russian del
egates could be the basis OF such
peace He said they shared Russias
condemnation OF continuation Of the
war for the sake Of conquest.
1t is necessary to indicate most
clearly, however, the count added, that
the Russian proposals could be rear
lied only in the event that all bellig-
erents obligated themselves to ad-
here to the terms of such peace.
The Austro-Hungarian foreign min
lister declared that the Central pow.
ers did not intend forcibly to annex
territories seized during the war. nor
to deprive nations OF political inde-
pendence lost in the war.
The question of the subjection OF
nationalties who have not political in
dependence to another country cannot
be solved internationally and must be
met by each government and its peo-
Pile in the manner established by the
constitution of that government. The
protection of the right Of minorities
is an essential part of the right Of peo.
pies to self-definition.

to property OF civilian subjects by de-
liberate violations of international
law on the part OF the adversary. The
creation of a special fund for this pur-
pose. as suggested by Russia, could be
discussed only in event that the other
belligerents join in the peace negotia-
tons within a certain time.
The chairman OF the Russian dele
CATION expressed qualification at the
German willingness to make peace
without annexations and indemnities
and with the self-definition Of peo-
pies. He demurred, however, at the
German statement on self-definition a.
being incomplete. He said the war
could not end without the re-estab
lishment OF violated rights OF little
and oppressed nationalities and Rus
sia would insist on guarantees that
their lawful rights would be protected
In a general peace treaty.
