Ninth POINT VIOLATION
BY PRESIDENT CLAIMED
German-Austrian Cabinet Asserts
Taking of Southern Tyrol
by Italy Is Wrong.
By the Associated Press.


BASEL. Switzerland. May 5.-The
German Austrian cabinet at Vienna
has issued a manifesto in which IT
claims that President Wilson, through
his making known that he approved
concerned the demarcation of the
frontier between Italy and German
Austria, which meant the annexation
of the southern Tyrol. had acquiesced
in a violation of the ninth of his four
teen points.
Founded on Strategic Grounds.
This ninth point, unlike the tenth
says the manifesto. was not subjected
to change in the notes issued at the
time of the conclusion of the armis-
tice. The document adds that the
Italian claims to the southern Tyrol
are founded purely on strategic
grounds. These. 1t holds, do not
Justify annexation. because, in the first
place. the ethnographic frontier be-
tween the German and Italian Tyrol
is in line with Italy's strategical re-
quirements; and in the second place
because such annexation is contrary
to the principle of tion
enunciated by President Wilson in
his speech at Mount Vernon July
last
1t Is pointed out that the German
Austrian government offered long ago
to neutralize the southern Tyrol mill
tarily, while retaining administrative
never had a reply to this offer.
Would Force Union With Germany
The manifesto concludes by declar-
Ing that il Italy takes the southern
Tyrol the remainder of the Tyrol
would inevitably be absorbed by Ger
many, with the result that German
Austria would be cut of from the rest
OF the world except through Germany
and. therefore. would be obliged to
unite herself with Germany.
The tenth point Of President Will
sons fourteen. which sets forth that
the peoples OF Austria Hungary should
be accorded the freest opportunity of
autonomous development" was modi-
fed by President Wilson's note Of Oc-
tober 19 last to ustria-Hungary, in
which he pointed out that because of
recognition by the United States of
the belltgerency Of the Czechoslovaks
and of the justice of the nationalistic
aspirations Of Jugos1avs for freedom
he was mo longer at liberty to accept
the mere autonomy of these peoples
as basis Of peace
The ninth point read: "a readjust-
ment Of the frontiers Of Italy should
be effected along clearly recognizable
lines of nationality"
President Wilson's Mount Vernon
speech set forth the principle that the
settlement of every question.
whether Of territory. Of sovereignty,
Of economic arrangements, or of polit-
ical relationship" should be upon
the basis of the free acceptance of
that settlement by the people imme-
diately concerned, and not upon the
basis OF the material interest or ad-
vantage Of any other nation or peo-
pie which may desire a different set
tlement for the sake Of its own ex-
terror influence or mastery"
