He has often told me that he knew no patriotism save the Hungarian, but that it was in the interests of Hungary to keep together with Austria; therefore, he saw most things with a crooked vision.

Never would he have ceded one single square metre of Hungarian territory; but he raised no objection to the projected cession of Galicia.

He would rather have let the whole world be ruined than give up Transylvania; but he took no interest whatever in the Tyrol.
Apart from that, he applied different rules for Austria than for Hungary.

He would not allow of the slightest alteration in Hungary's internal conditions, as they must not be effected through external pressure.

When I, forced thereto by the distress due to lack of provisions, yielded to Ukrainian wishes and notified the Austrian Ministry of the Ukrainian desire to divide Galicia in two, Tisza was fully in accordance therewith.
