L unquestionably. among all the
peoples capable OF opposing the Ger
manic Drang mach Osten. the most nu-
merous, the strongest and the most
directly threatened BY German eLpan-
sion toward the east But. in spite Of
that, Poland is only one OF the nations
called upon to constitute the anti
German wall extending from the Bal
tic sea to the Black sea
In order that Poland may accom-
nIish her historic destiny Of serving
as a rampant against the German
flood. Il IS Indispensable, not only that
she should constitute in herself pri-
mordial power. but thar there should
be established close bonds between
Poland and the powerful Independent
Czecho-Slav state. the enlarged hu-
mania. and the equally Independent
Jugo-Slav peoples. That is our idea
Of a central Europe, for which We have
fought and are still fighting The
obvious deduction is that we consid-
er the cause Of the liberation OF the
peoples subject 10 Austria-Hungary as
our own cause
Have Common Basis
It goes without saying that when
the Czechs are in question we have
TO consider. besides the purely politi-
cal arguments. the racial kinship- the
affinity OF our languages. the histori-
cal traditions. the common basis OF
civilization. and, above all, the same
deeply rooted anti-German instincts
and then, too, the high esteem which
we have for the Czech people. which is
so tenacious that it has succeeded,
despite the Denomination OF the up
per classes. in perfecting. in less than
a century. the marvellous achievement
OF national renascence- All these mo-
tives are so many ties which bind
us TO the Czech nation.
While declaring ourselves ansolurely
and with an our strength in favor Of
the complete liberation OF the peoples
subject to Austria-Hungarian domi-
nation, we do not yield to the vel
OF Austria Accord

ment of Austria would be equivalent

prefer 10 trust Germany rather than

ton guaranteeing the integrity of

Germany cared nothing for the con
dition OF the Turks, but was solely
concerned with her own commercial
