Despite this natural and comprehen- ible desire for peace, it has not been possible_ to create those preliminary conditiohs calculated to bring the peace efforts nearer to realization and bridge the gap which at present still separates belligerents from one another. ‘A more effective means must there- fore be considered whereby the r ponsible factors of all the countries offered an opportunity to in- possibilities of all may th can be tigate an und ve! the present tanding. e first step Hungary, in accord undertook on Dec. 19186, bringing about of peace did to the end hoped for “The grounds for this lay in the situation at that time. In order to maintain in their peoples the war pirit, which steadily declining, the allied Governments had by the most severe means suppressed even iy discussion of the peace idea.

But even a later victorious peace will no longer be able to make good the consequences of such policy—con- sequences which will be fatal to all the States and peoples of Europe. The only peace which could righteously adjust the still divergent conceptions of the opponents would be a peace desired by all the peoples. With this consciousness, and in its unswerving fo work in the interests of peace, the Austro-Hungarian Govern- ment now again comes forward with o suggestion with the object of ing about a direct the enemy powers. “The earnest will of the population States who ar dointly through the war—the indisputable rapprochment in individual contro- versial questions—as well as the more atmosphere that is gen- to the to give fr 1 step in of peace, which also takes ac- count of past experiences in this domain, might at the present moment offer the possibility of succes “The Austro-Hungarian ment has therefore resolved to point out to all the belligerents, friend and foe, a path considered practicable by it, and to propose to them jointly to umine in a free exchange of views whether those prerequisites exist which would make the speedy in- auguaration of peace negotiations ap- pear promising. To this end the Austro-Hungarian Government has invited the governments of all belligerent states to a confi- detial and unbinding discussion at a neutral meeting place, and has a dressed to them a note drawn up in this sense. This step has been brought to the knowledge of the Holy See in a spec- ial note, and al thereby made the Pope’ in peace. IFurthermore, the governments of the neutral state have been acquainted with the step taken. The constant close accord which e sts between the four allied powers rrants the assumption that the allies of Autsro-Hungary, to whom the proposal is being sent in the same manner, share the views developed in the note.” (The official telegram proceeds to that the note has been drawn ni French, and runs as follows:) The Note to Allies. “The peace offer which the powers of the Quadruple Alliance addressed to their opponents on December 12, 1916, and the conciliatory basic ideas of which they have never given up, signifies, despite the rejection which it experienced, an important stage in the history of this war. In contrast to the first two and a half war years, the question of peace has from that moment been the center of European, aye, of world discussion, and domi- nates it in ever increasing measure. “Almost all the belligerent states in turn again and again expressed them- selves on the question of peace, its prerequisites and conditions. The line of development of this discussion, however, has not been uniform and steady. The basic standpoint changed und the influence of the military and poltical position and hitherto, at any rate, it has not led to a tangible gen- eral] result that could be utilized. “It is true that, independent of all these oscillations, it can be stated that the distance between the conceptions of the twa sides has on the whole, grown somewhat less; that despite the indisputable continuance of decided and hitherto unbridged differcnces a partial turning from many of the most extreme concrete war aims is visible and a certain agreement upon the rel- ative general sic principles of a world peace manifests itself. In both camps there is undoubtedly observ ble in wide classes of the population a growth of the will to peace and un- derstanding. Moreover, a comparison of the reception of the peace proposal of the powers of the Quadruple Al ance on the part of their opponents with the later utterances of repsons ble statesmen of the latter, as well as of the non-responsible but, in a politi- cal respect, nowise uninfluential per- sonalities, confirms this impression While, for example, the reply of the Allies to President Wilson made de- mands which amounted to the dis- memberment of Austria-Hung: 1o a diminution and a deep internal trans- formation of the German empire, and the destruction of Turkish Furopean ownership, these .demands, the real tion of which was based on the postion of an overwhelming were later modifted in many declara- tions from official Entente quarters, or in part were dropped “Thus, in a declaration made in the British House of Commons a year ago Secretary Balfour expressly recog- nized that Austria-Hungary must it- self solve its internal problems, and that none could impose a Constitution upon Germany from the outside. Pre- mier Lloyd Georgze declared at the beginning of this year that it was not one of the Allies’ aims to parti- tion Austria-Hungar) to rob the Ottoman Empire of its Turkish pro- vinces, or to reform Germany intern- ally It may also be considered svmptomatic that in December, 1917, Mr. Balfour categorically repudiated the assumption that British policy had ever engaged itsclf for the cre tion of an independent State out of the territories on the left bank of the Rhine “The endeavor to peace “lasses of all the conciliatory eral, seem government antee that a certain guar- the inter- ests today the to say up Central Powers leave doubt that they war of defense the »curity of their territories.

Is there any serious prospect what- ever of reaching this aim by contin- uing the discussion of the peace prob- lem in the way hitherto followed? “We have not the courage to an- swer the latter question in the affirm- ative. The discussion from one pub- lic tribune to another, as has hither- to taken place between statesmen of the various countries, was really only a serfes of monologues. It lacked, above everything, directness. Speech and counterspeech did not fit ito each other. The speakers spoke over one another’s heads. main “On the other hand, it was the pub- licity and the ground of these discus sions which robbed them of the pos- sibility of fruitful progress. In all public statements of this nature a form of cloquece is used which reckons with the effect at great tances and on the ma Conscious ly or unconsciously, howev one thereby increases the distance of the opponents’ conception, produces m understandings which take root and are not removed, and makes the frank exchange of ideas more difficult very pronouncement of leading statesmen is, dircctly after its deliv- ery and before the authoritative quar- ters of the opposite side can reply to it, made the subject of passionate or exaggerated discussion of irresponsi- ble elements. “But anxiety lest they should en- danger the interests of their arms by anfavorably influenciag fecling at home, and they prematurely be- t y their ultimate intention also causes the responsible statesmen themselves to strike higher tone and stubbornly to adhere to extreme standpoints. “If, therefore, an attemnpt to see whether the basis exists for an understanding calculated ta deliver Furope from the catastrophe of the suicidal continuation of the strugsgle, then, in any case another method should be chosen which readers possi- ble a direct, verbal discussion between the representatives of the govern- ments, and only between them.
