the basis presented. "Our state rests
in your hands, said Doctor Renner
following the presentation of the al
lies terms, "and we hope before the
conscience of the world that the allies
will not abuse this power"
The entire peace treaty was not pre-
sented to the Austrians, and the 10
day stipulation with regard to their
reply, therefore, refers only to the por-
ton of the terms handed them.
The Austrian treaty follows exact
ly the same outline as the Germa n.
and in many places is identical with
it, except for the change in name.
Certain specific clauses which applied
only to Germany are, of course, omit
ted, and certain new clauses included,

plete independence of Hungary, Cze-
cho-Slovakia and the Serb-Croat-
Slovene state, and to cede other
territory which previously in union
with her composed the empire of
Australia with its popula-
ton of over 100000 people.
Austria agreed to accept the league
of nations covenant and the labor
charter, to renounce all her extra
European rights, to demobilize her
whole naval and aerial forces, to adj
NIT the right of trial by the allied
and associated powers of her ma
tionals guilty of violating the law and
customs Of force, and to accept
detailed provisions similar to those
of the German treaty as to economic
relations and freedom of transit.
