Transcript | mi^m ■■■■■■■HI mmm presentation de l'ultimatum a Belgrade ne laisse aux Puissances qu'un delai tout a fait insuffisant pour entreprendre quoi qu'il soit d'utile pour Faplanissement des complications surgies. ' Pour prevenir les consequences incalculables et egale- ment nefastes pour toutes les Puissances qui peuvent suivre le mode d'action du Gouvernement austro-hongrois, il nous parait indispensable qu'avant tout le delai donne a la Serbie pour repondre soit prolonge. L'Autriche-Hongrie, se declarant disposee a informer les Puissances des donnees de Tenquete sur lesquelles le Gouvernement Imperial at Royal base ses accusations, devrait leur donner egalement le temps de s'en rendre compte. " En ce cas, si les Puissances se convainquaient du bien-fonde de certaines des exigences autrichiennes, elles se trou- veraient en mesure de faire parvenir au Gouvernement serbe des conseils en consequence. " Un refus de prolonger le terme de rultimatum priverait de toute portee la demarche du Gouvernement austro-hongrois aupres des Puissances et se trouverait en contradiction avec les bases memes des relations internationales." Communique a Londres, Rome, Paris, Belgrade. (Signe) SAZONOW. the presentation of the ultimatum at Belgrade affords to the Powers a period which is quite insufficient to enable them to take any steps which might help to smooth away the difficulties that have arisen. ; In order to prevent the consequences, incalculable and equally fatal to all the Powers, which mav result from the course of action followed by the Austro-Hungarian Government, it seems to us to be above all essential that the period allowed for the Servian reply should be extended. Austria- Hungary, having declared herself to be disposed to inform the Powers of the facts elicited bv the enquiry upon which the Imperial and Royal Government base their accusations, should equally allow them sufficient time to study those facts. " In this case, if the Powers were convinced that certain of the Austrian demands were well- founded, they would be in a position to offer corresponding advice to the Servian Government. " A refusal to prolong the term of the ultimatum would render nugatory the representations made bv the Austro-Hun- garian Government to the Powers, and would be in contradiction to the verv bases of international comity.'' Communicated to London, Rome, Paris, and Belgrade. (Signed) SAZONOF. s ■UMi |
