Economic Paralysis
To Compel a Change
exchange

To-day nothing is more certain
than that sheer economic paralysis
will compel the various tribes of
Austria Hungary to follow one of
two course: either to lay aside age
long rivalries and hostilities and
achieve some form Of economic if
not political cooperation, or else to
sacrifice their new found independ-
ence. Thus the people of the new
Austria are already clamoring for
union with the German Empire.
There is at least discussion of a
possible federation between the
Hungarians and the Rumanians,
while day by day the impossibility
Of existing conditions is more
plainly disclosed.
OF all the various states which
have risen on the ruins of Austria
Hungary only Jugo-Slavia and Po-
land possess access to the sea and
sufficient strength and varied re-
sources to support national life.
Poland and Rumania, each Of them
with an area as great as Italy, may
easily become in generation or
two first class powers. On the con-
trary, Czecho-Slovakia, the new
Austria and what remains of the
old Hungary can never together
and much less separately, exist un-
der conditions even remotely ap-
preaching economic prosperity. Un-
less they can be joined in a new
Danubian federation by either Ru.
mania or Jugo-Slavia they will in
fallibly become minor fragments in
a German controlled Mitteleuropa
For Europe, for the United
States, the gravity Of the problem
now presented by Central Europe
should not be overlooked. The peril
of Mitteleuropa, Of a German di-
rected confederation extending
from the Baltic to the Black Sea
the Adriatic and the Hgean, was
clearly demonstrated by the events
Of the war.
Such Mitteleuropa would domi
nate and threaten the peace o1
the world, but it is almost impossi
BILE to see any escape from such ar
ultimate consequence Of recent his.
tory unless Allied diplomacy anc
Central European interests shall
combine to restore something Of the
old economic situation in the Haps
burg monarchy. If the mutua
hostilities of the Czechs, the Ger
mans, the Hungarians, the South
ern Slavs and the Rumanians con
tinuo to make a common associa
tion between these tribes impossi
Gle, then more economic force will
drive them one by one first intt

Field for Intrigue
And Fresh Jealousics

Exactly as Bulgaria was moved
against Serbia by Austria and Ser
bla against Bulgaria by Russia in
the evil days which preceded and
led to the World War, the newly
Balkanized regions of the Danube
are beginning to be the field for
new intrigue and the jcalousies of
little peoples are being stimulated
IN order to prevent that fusion
among the little peoples which
would be at once prosperous for
them and fatal for the ambitions
of larger nations.
If the German pathway to the East
continues to be barred only by lit
tie, mutually hostile states, then
nothing would appear more likely
than that the old temptation to
Germany would be revived and
that she would seek once more
that world power which was hers
for 4 moment while she dominated
Mltteleuropa. Pending that time
the world must look forward to a
long series of disputes and quarrels
among the several races Of the
Danube Valley, exactly like those
IN the Balkans between the Con-
gress of Berlin and the outbreak Of
the World War, disputes in which
all the great powers became in me
end involved.
A Danubian confederation in
which any one 1ace dominated
could not encs.re. 1t may even be
doubtful if political union would
be possible, at feast for many years.
Commercial association and economic
cooperation might prepare the way
Ser closer federation. By con-
trast, without that economic asso-
citation nothing short Of suffocation
seems to threaten the millions of
Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and Hun
gary, and in the presence of such
menace all three seem bound. in
the end, to become more or less
willing partners in any new Ger
man enterprise.

ton Appears
the. Only Eco
nomic Solu-
ton
By Frank II. Simonds

By Frank II. Simonds
TIME reports from Budapest
and Vienna Of a proposal to
unite Rumania and Hungary
in single state have every evidence
Of being propaganda. The Hun
oarian capital Is in the hands of the
Rumanians, who have pillaged and
numbered exactly, or at least ap-
proximately, as the Hungarians pill
,aged and plundered in Bucharest
two years ago. To assume that the
Hungarians would now welcome
union with state and a race which
they have wronged has the appear
snce Of believing in miracles.
Nevertheless, it must be patent
that the conditions which the war
and the approximate peace SO far
achieved have created in Central
Europe is one that cannot endure.
Some basis Of economic order must
at no distant time emerge from the
present chaos. European statesmen
for long centuries were accustomed
to say that if there had been no
Hapsburg monarchy it would be
necessary to create one. What they
had in mind was precisely that the
chaos now existing, which they fore
saw, would follow the removal of the
single centripetal force on the south
of the Bavarian, Saxon and Prus-
sian frontiers.

New-York tribune., 1919-09-21
Austria-Hungary Was
Politically Impossible

Austria-Hungary was politically y
an impossibility because two races
each constituting a minority in its
own half of the state, controlled the
political power and used it brutally,
selhshly, stupidity. twenty-five mill
ion Slavs were made to do the will
Of barely twenty millions of Hunga-
rians and Germans combined, while
five million Latins, Rumanians and
Italians were quite as shamcfully
maltreated. As consequence, the
political structure of the Hapsburg
Empire broke down following defeat
on the battlefield.
But, on the other hand, if the
bonds of political cohesion were
slight it is plain that there were un-
mlstakable economic influences, as
we'll as geographical conditions,
which combined to make possible
almost to make necessary-a great
state occupying the frontiers Of the
old Hapsburg monarchy. Few states
IN the world possess more varied
elements, more complementary eco
nomlc parts. On the agricultural
and industrial sides Austria Hun
gary was a self-contained unit.
AS a consequence of the applica-
uon OF the doctrine Of self -determi-
nation of peoples we have created
SS'an Austrian territory wherein three
q states are entirely destitute of access
10 the sea, incapable of independent
economic life, separated from their
1ood, their raw material and their
manufacturing needs by artificial
frontiers. That Austrian fragment
emerging In the Treaty Of St. Ger
main consists of little more than
1our million agricultural people
surrounding Vienna, yesterday a
world capital, to-day a city Of two
million people without any fut-
ufe, without any chance Of preserv-
ing Its ancient Importance, doomed
70 die, precisely as a severed head
would cease automatically to exer-
else its functions.

Germans Certain TO
Fight Such a Union

Even more than the Italians the
Germans must fight such fedora
ton. If it is prevented, then the
mere economic forces will drive the
various fragments Of the Hapsburg
Empire into association with Ger
many. The Austrians have already
sought such fusion and if German
craftsmanship can only preserve the
confusion in Central Europe until
Germany gets on her feet again,
then the outcome seems sure. We
have, then, at once common interest
between Italy and Germany and a
common policy. Italy prefers to see
Germany acquire portions of the old
AustroHungarian Empire rather
than to see this empire restored.
While the course of Rumania in
New-York tribune., 1919-09-21

Italy, would find her way into such
a confederation and Italian hopes
in the Xgean would likewise be
brought to nothing.
AS consequence, the Italian pol
icy with respect to the old AUSTRIA
Hungary must be exactly what the
French policy was in the case Of
Germany for several centuries. If
French predominance on the Cont
rent were to be maintained it was
always essential that the rivalries
between the Prussians and the Ba-
varians should be stimulated and
Austria and Prussia remain foes.
The union of Germany marked the
loss by France of her dominant posi-
tion on the Continent. In the same
way a federation between the va
rious races Of Central Europe would
be fatal to Italian policy and pur-
pose.

song was written In honor of their for

out a tree under which Stephen Fos-
ter Is supposed to have penned the
memorable lines. Reports less pic
%turesQue, but more generally accepted,
say that Foster never saw Suwanes

cause of the rhythmic sound, dropping

The Suwanee figured largely in
early American history, for 1t was a
~favorite haunt of the Indians, and
many battles with the red men were
fought In It's valleys.
The name Suwanee has an Indian
