war of liberation. But they are now,
one and all. determined. and rightly
determined. to set themselves up MS
independent states. They will trust
Vienna no more. The policy of
asccndancy has borne it's inevitable
fruit In the fact of partition. aud il
is this partition which lies at the root
of Austria's troubles today.
Vienna was made the economic and
political center of the empire, every :
thing was artifcially concentrated
there. Outlying districts and RAILWAYS
were starved in order that the capital
might thrive. The break of Aus
tria Hungary, cutting these centralized
economic flaments in two can hardly
fail to infiict the severest blows upon
the state of Austria and its capital.
But the dissolution Of the monarchy
with its consequences, is the direct
outcome of that fatal policy of dom
ination for which the people of Austria
arc themselves principally to blame.
viii Not Add Hardships
"Third. The allied and associated
powers. however. have no wish to ado
to the hardships of Austria's position
On the contrary they are anxious to dc
all in their power to assist her people
to accommodate themselves to their
new position and to recover their pros
perity, provided always that it is not
at the expense of the new states formed
out of the late empire.
The break up of the monarchy has
given rise to many difficult problems
to the relations between the now
states, which. under the treaty, are its
heirs. It has been recognized as rea
sonable that the relations between the
citizens of tho succeeding states should
be regulated in certain respects differ
emily from the relations between the
citizens of Austria and those of thu
other allied and associated powers. and
in view of the observations of the Aus
trian delegation, the allied and asso
ciated powers. while adhering to the
general lines Of the treaty, have made

retention in Austro- Hungarian hands
OF military outposts commanding the
Italian plaius. In these circumstances
they have thought Il best to accord to
Italy the natural frontier Of the Alps,
which she has long demanded.
Fifth. The allied and associated pow :
ers would further remind the Aus
trian delegation that the treaty Of peace
makes special provisions for the pro-
lection of small communities, such as
new Austria. II will no longer be pos
sible for powerful empires to threaten
with impunity the political and eco
nomic life of their lesser ncighbors.
The clauses relating to ports and
waterways guarantee to Austria under
international sanction access TO the sea
by land and water. The labor clauses
will help to preserve the rights and
raise the standards of life for the work
ing, population. The minority treaties
Will safeguard the political. religious
and linguistic rights of the republics
minorities transferred TO new sovsr
eighty under the treaty of peace.
Sixth. In conclusion. the allied and
associated powers wish to make it clear
that the notifications which they have
now made in the draft treaty are final.
They wish further to state that il they
have not replied specifically TO all the
points in the reply Of the Austrian del e
egation. it is not because they have not
taken them into careful Considera ton
nor must the absence Of any rcply be
taken as acquiescenCc or in approval of
these contentious. nor must tho present
reply be taken as authoritative inter
pi Citations of the text of the treaty.
Given Five Days to Sign
The text of the treaty, which we
send you today. following upon that of
July 20 last. which had already under
gone considerable changes since the
original text of June .. must be ac-
ccptcd or rejected in the exact terms in
which il is now drafted. Consequently.
the allied and associated powers require
from the Austrian delegation within a
period of five days. counting from the
date Of the present communication, a
declaration informing them that they
arc prepared to sign this treaty as it
now stands. So soon RS their dcclara
tion reaches the allied and associated
powers. arrangements will be made for
the immediate signature Of peace at ST.
German -pn Laye.
''In default of such declaration within
the period above stimulated. the armi- :
stice concluded on November 3. 1918,

1.-THE allied aud associated powers
feel bound to point out that the disabil-
tiles from which Austria will suffer will
arise, not from the provisions OF the
treaty, but mainly from the policy Of
ascendancy which its people have pur-
sued in the past. Had the policy of
Austro Hungary been one of liberty and
justice to all it's people, the upper
Danube states might have remained in
friendly economic and political unity.
As it was, the policy of ascendancy
produced one of the cruelest tragedies
Of the late war, when millions OF the
subject peoples of Austria Hungary
were driven, under pain of death, TO
fight against their win in an army
which was being used to perpetuate
their own service, as well as 10 compass
the destruction of liberty in Europe.
Many Of these peoples protested
against the war, and for their protests
suffered copfscatioa, imprisonment or
death. Many more who were captured
~ escaped, Joined the armies Of the
Allies, and played their part In the
