AMERICA AND VIENNA.
Opinion Expressed That the Two
Might he Able to Agree.

London, Jan. 25.-''It is obvious to
me-" said Count Czernin. that an
exchange of views between America
and Austria-Hungary might form the
starting point for conciliatory dis
cussion among all States which have
not yet entered into peace negotia-
tions."
Commenting on the fourteen points
in President Wilson's war aims
speech Count Czernih said, accord
ing to an Exchange Telegraph dis
patch from Copenhagen, that Austria
Hungary and America were virtually
in agreement regarding the great
principles for new arrangements af-
ter the war.
Count Czernin qualified his state
ment respecting agreement with some
of President Wilson's proposals by
saying that Austria-Hungary would
support Germany.
Austria-Hungary and America,
Count Czernin said, were two bellig-
Grants whose interests were less in
compatible than they seemed. He
chara cterized the speech of President
Wilson regarding war aims as an
important advance toward the Aus
tro-Hungarian view point which con-
tanned some proposals in which Aus
tro-Hungary would gladly join.
The foreign minister said the popu-
lation of Poland would decide its
own fate. The Polish question
must not delay peace one day. If
Poland, after the war, wished to ad-
vance toward Austria-Hungary such
an advance would be welcomed.
Interpretation of the right of free
action of peoples has caused differ
ence between Russia and Germany,
said Count Czernin, but a COM
promise must be reached. The
differences of view we're not great
enough to justify abandonment of
the peace negotiations.
