Burian Gives Up Hope for Early Peace
Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister Baron von Burian, in a Vienna note to the Austrian and Hungarian premiers, says there is little difference between belligerents on general principles and that Wilsons four points will not provoke opposition aside from exaggerations. He cites Alsace Lorraine Trieste Trentino and German colonies as insurmountable barriers, but approves Wilsons plan and expresses willingness to negotiate with all opponents. He notes Russia and Romania could avoid the position they reached, and says any demand for restitution could be justified if pursued.
