New Minister says Sentiment
to Be About Evenly Divided
Over Joining Berlin or Re-
naming Independent.

BERNE, Jan. 6. tBy the Associated
Press. )-Baron Haupt, the new Aus
trian minister here, told the Associated
Press today that sentiment In Austria

independent republic. He said there Is
a possibility that majority would
favor the latter in which case, a
Danube federation is possible with ar,
rangement for economic relations and
laws such as are generally enacted in
confederation of states.
Without such intercourse, he said,
"German-Austri is condemned TO slow
death. She already is denuded of her
coal lands and agricultural districts
upon which existence Is dependent.
Austria Is reoonciled to the ceding
of GaliCia to. Poland and many other
territorial sacrifices and is moved to
consent to the incorporation OF German
Bohemia and Moravia into Czecho-
Slovakia. The only condition to this
consent Is that some form of govern
ment similar to the Swiss canton sys-
tenn win be arranged so that the Ger
man element in the new state can be

political protection. There are $500, 900
Czechs in Czecho-S -Slovakia, as it has
been outlined.
This would involve not only the
right for Germans to conduct their own
affairs in districts where they are
numerically preponderant, but would
give them representation in the ma
tional assembly with participation In
the government. ..
Vienna is going to be the big loser
by the war. It is ineonceivable that 1t

an imperial city. II Austria joins Ger
many, Vienna will become provincial
appendage to Berlin and even II the
Danube confederation becomes possible
the capital can never hope to have its
early status"
For this reason Baron Haupt sug-
gests that, as partial compensation,
Vienna should be made the seat Of the
tribunal which he believes will be
formed as an adjunct to league. of
nations The first matters to come be-
fore that tribunal, he thinks. Will be ne

sitting at Vienna would get the real
