English Translation
I would like to say to the honourable Member that, if we were to be forced to accept, from a 'we are holding back from Congress Poland to Russia', then, in the case of Germany, the status quo ante bellum, which is at the Silesian and East-Say Sain, with regard to the Prausian border, would be considered only for a return to the country. The chancellor insists on this, Count, insisting that the Czernin again says the word and direction of a Polish one, that the Austrian kingdom, i.e. the Aus-Hungarian monarchy, pushes the border against Germany, which, with Russia, has great advantages for its armies, so to speak. he wanted to be of the polni- a much worse territory for German location, for the monarchy nothing claim and therefore must insist on the first and most militant goal in the national constituencies in order to preserve its tarritorial land acquisition in Kur-integrity. We are, of course, much closer to the establishment of a Polish-Military situation in the Kingdom. As long as peace has been concluded. ././. 69
