Count Appon-yi, Appon-yi, head of tho Hungarian peace delegation, dele-gation, discussing further the peace settlement, said today. "The peace treaty would deprive Hungary of two-thirds of her territory land population. Nothing of the kind was inflicted on any of the other belligerent bel-ligerent states. Is Hungary then most responsible and most guilty of all? It is incredible as .jhe is least indopen dent. "As a member of the Austro-Hunga-rlan empire, the documentary evidence proves that she gave her voice a&ninsr war. But if responsible she is the least responsible. There is no other principle on which her dismemberment dismember-ment can be Justified. "Hungary is tho finest geographic and economic unit of Europe, to which ten centuries of possession, broken temporarily by Turkish conquest, have imparted the sanction of time and tra ! dltion for its political construction. "Only one racial unit was wanting to make it perfect. Now this unit is dissolved, our land and 330,000 of our people have been given to new national na-tional states. "In many cases new frontiers are! pushed Inward, merely to rob us of our flourishing oities which are totally; Hungarian. So little note was taken of our conditions that the terms nave bec-n copied from the German and Austrian Aus-trian peace treaties. "Wo can discover In tho treaty nothing but the reflections of the juvenile juve-nile appetities of neighboring states,- unmindful of their own powers cf dl-jgeition dl-jgeition and devoid of all sense of re-sponsibility re-sponsibility toward the future of Europe. Eu-rope. But wo cannot conceive that the great allied powers, alive to such responsibility, re-sponsibility, should be executors of sui.-h irresponsible greed." i nn |
