which "s closely connected with the
general "Dolitical situation," said: -TWithtthe
conclusion of peace with
Rumania - the war in the east ended.
Before, however, turning to Individu
al .peace treaties and discussing them
in detail, I would like to revert to the
declaration - 61 the President of the
United Statesman which he replied to
the speech delivered by me on Janu
ary .24. ';; J r ' - . - -
In many prts of the world Presi
dent Wilson's speech was interpreted
as an attempt to " drive'- a wedge be
tween Vienna and . Berlin. V I do not
believe that, because I ; have too high
an opinion of :.the president of the
United States and his, outlook as a
statesman to believe' him -capable of
such a way of thinking. President
Wilson is no more able - to ascribe
dishonorable action - to. us than we to
him. -
"President Wilson does not desire
to separate -Vienna -from-- Berlin, and
he knows, too,.thathat would be im
possible. Perhaps President Wilson
says to himself, however, that Vi
enna IS more favorable soil' for sow
ing the seed for a general peace.- Per
haps he says to. hlmself that the Aus-tro-Hungarfan"
' monarchy ;-has the
good fortune ; to .possess a lruler who
sincerely and" honestly .desires a gen
eral .peace; but who "vv-Ill never com
mit a breach of -faith or conclude a
dishonorable peace, and that behind
the emperor-king there ere fifty-five-million
people. .. ; J - ,
"President Wilson skys, 'perhaps, to
himself that -this-' united 'mass repre
sents a force which.: is not to be un
derestimated and that, this honest and "
strong desire for . peace which binds
the monarchs governments and peo
ples of both states is capable of being
the bearer of that great idea In the
service of which. he has placed him
self." ' ";; ;: ;;. ;,
Referring to his last speech,' Count
Czernin explained the: misunderstand
ing of his remark that the text was
already in,. the .president's possession
by declaring that . he . had previously
arranged for. the text, to be telegraph
ed, to Washington f rem - an unofficial
source in a neutral country, in order
to prevent any misunderstanding or
distortion. It subsequently transpir
ed, however,' that ; the text only - ar
rived at its destination some days
later. Nevertheless, he said, the ob
ject was attained. - - ';- : " ;
He then continued: ' ''. ; ' ;
"I canv only ' say ; that I : esteem7 ' it
highly that he German chancellor, in
his excellent speech of : February 25,
took the words Out my' mouth by de
claring that the four "principles : de
veloped in Prefrfdent Wilson's speech
of February 11 -formed the basis upon
which " a general-- peace could be dis
cussed. "; I "am fn entire - agreement
with this. ZA-f-"The
four "points; laid; down by the
president v are .- a; suitable v basis on
which to begin the discussion for a
general " peace.; Whether, however,
the president will succeed In his en
deavors to rally his allies on this ba
sis or not-is a question; .- '
