The note expresses regret for the
necessity OF requesting DR. Dumba' s
recall and gave assurances of a de
sire for the continuance of cordial and
friendly relations between the United
States and Austria-Hungary.

Diplomats in touch with the Vienna

ately would be recalled 1t was sug-
gested that Baron Won Zweidinek,
counselor of the embassy, would be
made charge d'aHaires to remain IN

While Secretary Lansing's an
n0uncement of the request for the re-
call added another international sen
sation to the list that has stirred
Washington in the last year, official
comment was not forthcoming. New
ertheIess. the feeling seemed appar-
eut in government circles that no dip
lomatic issue with Austria-Hungary
would arise. DR. Dumba Will not be
compelled to accept his passports, but
will be permitted to remain in the
United States at will and await word
from Vienna. If he wants 10 return
home the United States must secure
assurances Of safe conduct for him
from Great Britain and her allies.
Since he came to Washington more

uncomfortable that DR. Dumba should
have suddenly had such an idea.
One has only to think of the enor-
nous number Of Iaborers employed
in these factories, which runs into the
hundreds Of thousands, to realize how
many millions of dollars would be nee
essary to produce any practical effect
Dr. Dumba, so far as l have under
stood, asked for only few thousand
dollars, so it seems to me evident that
he had only a humanitarian idea in
mind. as he also mentioned to me
when returning from New York.
Penalties Cited.
The imperial and royal government
has pointed out the legal penalties
which would be incurred by Austro-
Hungarian subjects who returned
home from America after the war, #
they had worked in factories making
munitions for the allies. These pen
alties would not only have been those
prescribed by the law for helping en-
emies OF the monarchy, but much more
so, those Of public opinion, as in the
case of q man who had made NUM-
tons for the allies who should go
back to his home village. perhaps to
inherit the property of men who had
been killed by those munitions. Nat
urallv these considerations, If brought
to their attention, might have caused

subjects 10 leave their employment in
