"It is said that our claims are exag-gerated;hat exag-gerated;hat we want foreign elements, but that is untrue. On the other hand, one of our allies, without any reason, Is advancing through Albania to our boundaries, boun-daries, although our forces dispersed the enemy there. A second claims territories in the Banat to which it lias no right. "We are resolved to defend our rightful right-ful claims, convinced that ve are pursuing pur-suing a sacred duty to ourselves and to our allies, because our claims are not based upon the principles of the past rior principles which could ever serve the enemies of humanity as a means for realizing their plans.

"We demand the application to ourselves our-selves of the principles proclaimed by our allies In their struggle with tho principles princi-ples of force proclaimed by the Germans. Ml our claims pre based upon the principles prin-ciples of self-determination and nationality- upon indeDendent judgment and arbitration ar-bitration by America. If these principles are proper for others, they should be so j for us." ! |
