Vienna, Sept.
6th—(Associated
Press):
The
National
Assembly,
by
a
vote
of
87
to 33 today
decided
to sign
the
Peace
Treatv.
The
Assembly
however,
pro-
tested
azainst
the violation of
Austria’s
richt
of
free
disposal
of
herself.
The
German
Nationalists
voted against
sign-
ing
the treaty,
while
some
members
of
the
Tyrolese party
abstained
from
vot-
ing.
The
vote
was taken
after
adoption
without dissent
of the Govt’s.
resolution
of
protest
presented
by
the
Socialist
house,
declaring
the terricorial
clauses
of
the
treaty
violated grossly.
the
national
claim
to self
determination
and the basis
on
which
the
armistice
was
concluded.
‘“We
raise
once
more
our
voices
against
a
peace
founded
on
brute
force.
As
one
man
we
decline
the
dividing
up
of
our
peoples
into
free
and
unfree,
as
is
done by
this
treaty.
We further declage
éhat four million Ger-
mans
forced undér foreign
rule,
will for
all time
insist
on
self-determination
as
the only possible
basis
on which the mod-
dern state
may be founded’’.
The
reso-
lution
also
declares
that
the
ultimate
union
with
Germany
is
an absolute
ne-
cessity
and
expresses
the
hope
that
when
the
hatred
of the
war dies
down,
this
union
will
become
consummated.
It
ends
by
placing
responsibility
for
steeping Europe
in revolution
and confu-
sion on the shoulders
of the Entente
and
lo ks
to
the league
of
nations
to repair
the
wrong done.
Paris,

ment.
Dr. Renner is now on his
way to
Paris.
His signature

the treaty
at

o’clock
on
Wednesday

Huarried
arrangements
are
being made for the signature
of the treay

The
