[By Associated Press.l

Berlin, Sept. 11.-Dr. Hugo Preuss,
who drafted the new German constitu-
tion recently promulgated at Weimar,
in a statement today to the Associated
Press. severely arraigned the demand
made by the peace conference that
Germany must amend the constitution
SO as to prevent Austrian representa-
ton in German parliamentary affairs.
This is not question Of law" he
said. Legally it is clear and simple.
The way in which our opponents
brought up the matter shows they are
following entirely different purposes
than the clearing up of doubtful legal
questions.
I'm article ITS Of the new German
constitution is the clause: The terms
OF the treaty of peace signed at Ver-
sailles will not be affected by this con-
stitution.' This excludes any practical
collision between the peace terms and
the constitution, for. If there should be
contradiction of the peace terms, the
latter would be valid legally. without
any chance for the constitution to take
precedent over the treaty.
Austria Entitled to Self Dete erminati on.
Article 81, paragraph (providing
for the admission Of Austrian MEM
bers Of the reichstag) does not stand
es formal contradiction Of the peace
terms, this fact being recognized by
the signing Of the terms by the allied
ana associated governments. In the
German counter proposals to the ORR
gfnai peace. terms the German govern
snent explained, in discussing this
Paint that Germany did not desire to
Violate the Austrian frontier. but that
II Austria wanted to bring about a
state OF unity with Germany the latter
could not obligate herself to oppose
the wishes Of the German brothers In
Austria for in that case the right Of
self determination of peoples would
count against Germany. The allied
and associated governments merely
recognized In their answer that Ger
many did not want forcibly to violate
the Austrian frontier. Thus the peace
treaty was signed. Article 81 does not
forcibly violate the Al 1strian frontier.
Rather. everything is left to the free
Initiative OF Austria on the basis OF
national principles and national self
determination.

ons objections to harmless paragraph
