presents the world with a gloomy pros
pect," he said. War may be inevitable
unless the treaties are revised, but
there will also be war if an attempt
is mace to revise them.
The World Court decision against the
Austro-German customs union, Schmitt
declared, was contrary to the prin-
ciple OF elf-determination and die
tated by high politics"
Award of South Tyrol to Italy is, in
Schmitt's opinion, unnecessary and
unfortunate" while Hungary might
have been treated with less severity"
so long as Hungary maintains
claims to all pre-war territory her
neighbors will insist on frontiers stra-

added.
Though calling the Versailles settle
