ALL EYES TO AMERICA
Warning Countries Of Europe
Expect to Draw From U. 8.
When Conflict Ends.
HOPE TO WIN BACK TRADE


Vienna, June 25.-Americans who
have lived in Austria for the major
part OF the war have been delighted
TO notice distinct change In the feel
ing OF the public of late, reversion
to the old popularity which Americans
always enjoyed here.
The change has been noticeable no.
where more plainly than in the press,
which has insisted that good relations
and il possible better relations be-
tween these countries and the republic
are desirable for both sides.
One factor is the emigration ques-
ton, which touches Hungary more
acutely than it does Austria. II Is
factor that involves some $l50,0O0,O OC
year, for this is the sum that It is
estimated is sent back to Hungary an.
nually from its citizens who in normal
peace times wander out to America
So consistently have these emigrants
sent back part of their earnings that
the government has come to take i
into careful account when budget and
taxation matters come up each year.
Cater to Americans.
A second factor concerns the bath
and cure resorts of Austria, formerly
patronized chiefly by the English
French and Russians, and now suffer.
ing cruelty from the war and having
to exist on none to free-handed and
local German patronage. The shrewd
owners figure the matter out this
way:
No matter how the war comes out
| It will be a decade before the OLD
peace time patronage from England
France and Russia can be won back
Americans, however, they estimate
will almost certainly flock to Europe
once peace is declared, and they hope
that the resorts in Austria can BE-
made to coax from Americans thu
huge sums that they formerly drew
from other foreigners.
The Austro-American steamship
lines constitute a third factor in tn
friendly relationships, for the theorists
count on an unprecedented influx o
travellers to Europe from the Unitet
States, an influx that very conceivabi>
may tax to the uttermost limit all ex
listing transportation facilities, ant
reckon that If Austria Hungar,
energies from the war with the goot
will Of Americans there Is nothing t
prevent a veritable avalanche OF bust
ness for steamer lines to Austria, NOR
particularly so If Americans develop
Partially for Austrian resorts.
Credit 10 Essential.
Austro- Hungarians also do no
hesitate to admit that, il this part o
the world is to be put back on q nor
NAL basis once more after war, hug
importations OF raw materials are go
| ing to be imperatively necessary Tor
time, and, what Is more, an extendet
credit to cover these importations Il
going to be almost essential.
Nearly all the nations at war, bu
particularly Germany and Austria
Hungary, have made remarkable ad
yances in the creation Of substitute
for articles and materials that hav'
given out. Many OF these substitute
will last far beyond the war, but con
scryative men among the centra
powers feel positive that by and b,
everyone will 60 back to the old thing
i in use. The fact that substitutes hav
had TO be created is but the way Q
proving that importation OF raw ma
terials Is absolutely necessary-an'
America Is the greatest exporter Q
them in the world.
First and foremost, It Is . question
that is asked not infrequently whethe
the monarchy is not going, after tn
war II not during 1t, to need its eml
grants to America more than It need
| their money. Several army corps 9
| Austro- Hungarians are in the Unite
States. many or most of whom hav
| EXPRESSED themselves as willing an
| glad to come back, but who are unabl
to do so.
/ The financial burdens after the wa
are 81 course going to be very heay
| in Austria Hungary as IN all othe
countries, and there is also in pros
pect everywhere a shortage OF me
for the reconstruction Of affairs to
normal state. Whether the emigrant
in America by sending their money
hello relieve financial burdens can q
Imore for the country Of their Dirt
than they could by being here to wor
for it is q question that has not bee
settled.
Though no one can say with assul
. ance, prevailing opinion 10 that ce
tainly for . long. time after the ";
there will be lull in emigration
America, because oi the anticipate
need for workers at home. Just
many employers and labor experts
Germany feel that wages there Al
, going to 20 up or stay up on an a
tractively high level, 50 the feelir
exists in Austria Hungary that worl
, inQ conditions here will be such tn
the inclination to leave will be small'
than ever before. In fact, retui

/. ing back many now in America, is !
!. no means considered an lmpossibilit
