AUSTRIAN MINISTER FRANK

HE SPEECH of Czernn minister of foreign affairs for
the Austrian government dspes completely certain
doubts which have been entertained in America
The speech almost entirely intended for home consum
ton and proves the presence dissatisfaction the
subjects of the monarchy.
Czernin protests against Strikes petitions and demonsra
tons, which he will either bring peace without economic
advantages or his fall.
His remarks prove what he intends his people to under
stand by economic advantages He means grangrain from
the Ukraine.
He saws in effect to Ausans "You hungry There is
grain in the Ukraine If make peace with Russia can
import grain the Ukraine You will longer be hungry
hasy peace not made with due consider
alton of the conditions there will be no grain and you will all
be hungry"
The picture of conditions Russia is clearer than that
drawn by any other statesman How much of this condition is
due to intrigue and how much disposition of
peoples set for themselves is something that cannot be
certainly known.
Czernin pictures Russia breaking up into Republics He
describes the government the Ukraine
