Charles in Vienna.
Fifteen years before the war Serbia
was shipping great numbers of pigs
into Hungary, successfully competing
with the Hungarian farmers and cut

the border was left open. Finally heed :
ing the pleas of its people, the Austro-
Hungarian government acted and on
the pretext that all Serbian pigs were
diseased, placed an embargo on them
up to that time the two govern
ments had more or less of a friendly
understanding. After this both sides
became irritated and practised every
method of hampering each other in
international trade. Political leaders
in Serbia seized upon the pig incident
Austro- Hungarian diplomats took up
the question. Misunderstanding arose
over it. The embargo was manipulated
until the pig incident supplanted many
other big political questions. When il
grew too old for political propaganda
other questions were built out of it
