CZECH INTRODUCES
PEACE RESOLUTION
IN RE|CHSRATH

AMSTERDAM. July SO.-Immediate
peace without annexations and in
IDENTITIES was demanded in a resolu-
tion offered Saturday in the Austrian
lower house by Deputy Stanek, in be-
half of the Czech League. Although
rejected. the measure has reopened a
discussion of peace terms that are
opposed to the German policy.
The resolution declared that a con-
tinuation of the war is useless from
the standpoint OF both humanity and
political utility.
1t asserted that all peoples should
have the right to self-determination.
and asked that the house demand
that Austria oppose the annexationist
and imperialistic policy which had
gained the upper hand in Germany.
Deputy Stanek declared that the
Czech people would become great and
strong despite the prosecutions OF a
narrow-minded government. Never
again will they bear a foreign yoke,
he said, since they are now united
and the Czecho-Slovak state is now a
fact which cannot be averted.
