tain that he won't accept.
have already said that Emperor
Charles absolutely lacks all compe-
tence in political affairs. He is not
inaccessible to advice and information
but, in spite of his good will, in spite
of his desire to assist instead of gov
erning, it is evident that the emperor
is too weak for the great problems the
solution of which is imposed upon him
by events.
Czernin and His Politics.
Without the slightest ability to OBJ
tain separate peace, Mortified by the
troublesome tura of the food situation,
as well as the economic and political
situation of the monarchy, Czernin's
diplomacy is doing everything to ar
rive at a general peace. The general
tendency is to conciliate Russia. Three
months ago Hindenburg planned
military action against Finland, but
Czernin he'd up the enterprise, as well
as later plan aiming at Moldavia.
Czernin is firmly convinced that it
is necessary to hold out only few
months before terms can be arrived at.
He counts especially on the reverbera-
ton that the disasters in Russia will
have upon the allies. He also counts
on the internal troubles in Italy and
France. In the political and diplomat
ic circles he does everything to dis
courage the Slavs and to put an end
to their resistance. So, for example,
the assertion that the Entente will not
stand by the Czechoslovaks and the
Slavs of Austria in general, and that
especially England has completely
abandoned the plan of dismemberment
of Austria, has become the "Leitmo-
tiv" of the conversation of Austrian
! politicians with the Slavs. Great stress
is laid upon the silence maintained by
English statesmen IN regard to the
Question of Austrian nationalities, and
no time is lost in drawing consequence
es therefrom. Many time has Czern-
in affirmed to everybody who was will
ing to listen that Austria will be
saved; that chance will save her in the
last moment. He counts, as l have
already said, above all on Russia, and
on disorder and decentralization in Italy
and France. He has great hopes in
the Italian, French and neutral social
| lists.
Czernin also supports all endeavors
at direct contact between the socialists
and pacifsts of both sides. In spite
of the opposition of both official and
military Germany, Czernin favorized
the Stockholm conference with all his
might. During the weeks preceding
! the departure of the Austrian dele
gates to Stockholm an unexampled
pacifst atmosphere was artifcially
created in Vienna. Evening editions
of the papers which are not sent out
of the country published the most SEN
sational news. The "Sechsuhrblatt'
published the news, otherwise false,
that Daszynsky (the leader of the
Polish social democrats) and Adler
were received by Czernin lit was Ad-
Ter and Seitz), which caused much an
noyance in German socialistic circles
in Austria.
In short, we may expect new man
euvers from Czernin, who is doing his
utmost to bring affairs to an end be-
fore next spring, when the situation
will be most desperate.
