Dr Bauer declared that the people of the Tyrol. who love freedom above life. would never submit to the peace terms and that they. as did the Ger mans of Bohemia, had the sympathy of all Germans. He added that several months ago the Austrian government had submitted to the Italian govern ment the draft Of treaty under which German South T.'rol would remaii with Austria constitutionall.r and eco- nomically but as neutral military zone. Dr. Bauer said he hoped the Italian government. which up to this time had been unable to enter into di- rect negotiations, would not refuse to discuss the proposal at St Germain. He said there was no danger of an Irredenta movement in German South Tyrol, remarking that the German n people might hope gradually to win the friendship of Italy, but it would be a misfortune to both if the annexation of German South Tyrol prevented this.
 Regarding western Hungary and the frontiers of Carinthia and Styria, the foreign minister added, the Austrian peace delegation would propose plebis- cites under neutral control. s.-
 Austria, he declared must also have direct communication with Italy for commercial reasons.
