VIENNA, March 25.-Austria is an
export country for dramatic literature,
chiefly comic plays and musical
comedies ana for music In general.
Before the war the success Of certain
types of plays of Viennese origin, es-
pecially operettas, depended entirely
on the reception in the United States
and England. Royalties Of many thou
sands Of dollars used to flow regularly
to Vienna from overseas. When the
United States entered the war this was
stopped and all royalties were treated
as property OF alien enemies and put
under the supervision Of the public
trustee. Since the conclusion Of peace
several well known Austrian authors
among them Leo Fall and Franz
Lehar--have repeatedly tried to get
into the possession OF their money,
which increased in value from day to
day with the rising exchange rate OF
the dollar. Hitherto all these efforts
appear to have failed
It has been reported here that

tered property of private persons OF

Trying to Protect Authors.

A big American publishers firm has
recently sent circular letter to several
Austrian and German authors OF the
foremost rank, in which 1t alludes TO this
difficulty. The firm says that 1t has
done what 1t could to bring about
favorable decision in America and that
1t has so far In vain invited the German
authors and their Austrian colleagues to
lodge a Joint protest with their respec-
tive Governments.
The American Government, the let
ter proceeds, viii not protect the Ger
man and Austrian works until American
works are assured the Same protection
in these two countries. AS things stand
at present II Is dangerous for American
publishers to risk much money for
printing German or Austrian works, be-
cause In case of success any other firm
could come out with copy OF the edi-
ton. To remove this condition the firm
in question declares the closest coopera-
tion of the German and Austrian au-
thors Is indispensable.
This letter has been published by a
Vienna paper, which urges the Austrian
Government to take the initiative In
this question without delay and to do
what it can to secure the American mar
ket to Austrian literature and music. 1t
Is hoped this appeal will not pass un-
