Count Berchtold, addressing tho Foreign Affairs Committee, said tho present aspiration of tho allies was incompatible with, the principle ■of tho integrity of Turkey, but Austria had no tendency tow:]jfds territorial expansion. She was prepared to make largo allowances for the new situation created by the Allies' victories, anfl to lay the foundation of a lasting and friendly understanding. On tho other hand she must also have the right to-demand that the legitimate interests, of Austria should not suffer in the settlement. He hoped .Roumania's interests would meet with ■corresponding cons id a ration.
