of People
COPENHAGEN. Thursday. Aus.
7. A summary of the Austrian note
presented to the allied peace conw
mission at St. Gevmain, France, yes
terday, has been received here from
Vienna.
"If German-Austria's territorial
demands' are fulfilled to the mini
mum extent maintained for in the
appendix to the note." says the sum
mary. "eGrmtin-Austria will make
efforts to live independently ond ib
peace in this territory. She expects
the league of nations will hear Ur
in her hour of distress.
"On the other hand German-Austria
still is firmly convinced that the
economic burdens imposed upon her
by the pea -e treaty cannot :ea,lly be
carried out and that If they are not
substantially lightened she is bound
to collapse.
Plight is Pleaded.
"It will be impossible for the next
few montbs to deliver milking cows
and cattle, as German-Austria's chil
dren are perishing for lak of meat
and milk. German-Austi la must, al
low herself to be placed under the
entente powers' financial control,
but sue expects the repatriation com
mittee will act with the considera
tion demanded by her desperate po
sition and grant the necessary cred
its to obtain raw materials and food
stuffs." The note urge3 amendment with
a view to Investing a commission
with plenary powe:s, regarding all
economic and financial peace condi
tions. It then argues the states
which succeeded it and the injus
tice of stipulations regarding war
loans."
lebt Division Not Liked.
"It seems self-evident, the note
continues, "that all states In what
was formerly Austria Hungary
should divide the debts -of . the old
monarchy. Apart from the bank note
debt, clauses in the peace treaty
how a burden of debt for German-
Austria of some forty billion marks.
Thus two thirds of the entire debt
of the Austrian states, without the
note debt, is placed on the shoulders
f onaifth of the former popuia
tion."
The note proposes, as in the case
of pre-war. debts, that all debts shall
be divided by the reparations com
naision according to the ability of in
diivdual btates to meet them. A sim-
lar T-roposal is nsade regarding Aus-
tro-Hungarlan bank notes held
abroad.
The note concludes with a refer
ence to fettling accounts wiwetu
German-Austria and other state of
the fo-.-mer monarchy, declaring that
stipulations not capable of fulfill
ment must be removed ana tnese
questions regulated by the repara
tions commission in order not to pro
long the peace negotiations.
"It would be or maispuiaDie vaiue
fr all parties." the note adds, "if the
members of tbe German-Austrian
deputation were heard and called up
on to give oral explanations befo-e
the committees."
