HUNGARIAN LEAH DEHJWDS
PEACE SHALL BE FROPOSEO
Loudon, Dec. 30—A sensation, was
caused in the Hungarian Darliamont
on December 7 by the speech of
Count ICarolyl, leader of tbo Inde
pendence party, demanding that the
government should make peace pro
posals tO' the enemy powers, accord
ing to a letter received by the Morn
ing Post from Budapest.
The speech was heavily censored
in the Hungarian, papers, and all
dispatches to foreign papers deal
in 7 with the speech were stopped
by the censor.
The correspondent gives .extracts
from the vorbatim report, according
to which Count Karolyi argued that
Huneary had achieved everything
she wanted by the war; had saved
tha country from invasion, and had
proserved the monarchy and the
throne. Her allies could demand
nothing further from Hungary, who
had given incontrovertible proof
that it was her son3 that emperor
and king had to thank for tlie in
tegrity of this empire.
"Owing to the fact that it was
the Hungarian army that had
brought the war to its present I
stage,'' said Count Kaxolyi, "we |
havo a perfect right to coma for
ward with our claims for componsa- j
lion."
He further asserted that the Hun-1
garians had a right to ask that !
the political unity of the Iluugari-1
an nation should bo reoognized,j
that all the attributes of a nation- j
al slate should be given her, that
economic independence should be
granted ajid that, above all, peace
should be restored, lie contended j
that the Teutonic allies had pun- \
ished Serbia and beaten all their
enemies and were, therefore, in a
position to offer peace terms to
their enemies.
"We have given proof enough of i
our physical courage," he continued,,
"now we have to Show our moral i
courage. The government has com- ;
mitted so many sins of error dur
ing the war and has used the ceil-1
sorship to such an extent to hide
faults, that we are justified in de-;
manding that it now act in accord-t'
ance with the wishes if the nation 1
or resign."
