DR.. Karl Renner, head of the Aus
trian delegation, rose to reply at the
end of the translation, but M. Gle.
menceau waved him to his seat tc
permit M. Dustasta, secretary Of
the conference, to place before him
the text of the skeleton draft of the
treaty. The Austrian delegate then
rose and read his speech. He caused
considerable surprise by choosing
the French as the medium for his
remarks.
M. Clemenceau and Marshal Foch
the latter sitting with the French
delegation were obviously pleased
at the choice of the language. AS
DR.. Renner proceeded with his dis
course, revealing a tone of modera-
ton and absence of recrimination or
Boosting the strain which had hung
over the plenipoteniaries relaxed and
all settled down to calm and rea-
soned appreciation of the Austrian
plea.
Austria was given IS days to re-
ply to the terms.
The Austrian treaty follows ex-
actly the same outline as the Ger
man 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, omitted and certain new
clauses included, especially as re-
CARDS the new states created out Of
the former Austro-Hungarian en-
pire and the protection of the rights
of the Hungarian empire, and the
protection of the rights of the racial,
religious and linguistic minorities in
Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Roumania
and the Serbian-Croatian- Slovenian
state.
Austria is left by the treaty a
state of from six million or seven
million people inhabtating a terri
tory of between 5000 and 5000
square miles. She is required to
recognize the complete independ-
ence of Hungary, Czecho-S lovakia
and the Serbian Croatian-Slovenian
state. and to cede other territories
which previously in union with her,
composed the empire of Austria
Hungary with its population of over
fifty million people.
Austria agrees to accept the
league of nations covenant and the
labor charter, to renounce all its
extra European rights, to demobil-
ze its whole naval and aerial fore
es, to admit the right of trial by the
allied and associated powers of its
nationals 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.
Chancellor Renner, the Austrian
chancellor, probably will go to
Switzerland tomorrow. He re-
at St. German today after
the conclusion of the presentation
of the allied terms.
In addition to the conference of
of the allied and as
ISOLATED powers, there were present
many distinguished persons, includ-
ing Marshal Foch, General Bliss,
and American Ambassador Wallace.
Chancellor Renner promised to do
his best to bring about peace on the
allied conditions.
COL E. M. House was the only
one of the American delegation not
present at the session.
