Vienna has always been the distribu-

years an elaborate organization Of their
own IN the Eastern countries.

No Slump in Price
of First Class Gems

Special Cable to THE NEW YosK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921 by THE NEW York HERALD.
Vow York Herald Bureau,
London, March 12.
TN the dispatches sent to The
New York Herald last week
telling of the slump in the prices
of precious stones it was not
brought out that the fall applies
only to inferior stones of indif-
ferent color and bad shape. A
few months ago these stones
were eagerly bought up by young
munitions workers and others
who had made big profits
through the war.
But now that this class is no
longer so plentifully supplied
with money the demand for
cheap stones has dropped so that
the shops of cheap jewellers
along the Strand are filled with
stones of poor quality marked
down to half the price they were
last year, the new prices ranging
all the way from f2 to S100.
One man who bought an inferior
diamond for $3.50 last year now
finds that its value is only 9100.
The better class jewellers say
there is no slump in the price of
first class stones.

thor and playwright speaking before the
Irish Literary Society, said:

much more submissive to authority than
Englishmen are. did not hnd one man
or woman In the part OF the States

idea Of the share OF their country in the
winning OF the war.
Love OF money seems to mo 10 be
among the least OF American character
istics. What ono does discover in tho
whole population, rich and poor, Is a
real love OF doing a Job as well as possi-
BILE. The American scents to like work

ECONOMIC KEY TO
AUSTRIA'S FUTURE
Main Problem Is Recon

dustrial Heart OF Nation.
CITY DESTINY AT STAKE
Austrians Believe Union With
a Neighboring State Is
Inevitable.

Special Correspondence to THE NV YosK
HERALD.
VIENNA, March 1.-The question
whether the new Austrian Republic
can live as an independent state is
answered by the overwhelming ma
jority of Austrians in the negative.
They believe that political or eco
nomic union with one OF the neighbors
is inevitable.
In this view the Austrians are near
ly unanimous; they differ chiefly az
to how it is to be done. The union
with Germany has been forbidden by
the peace treaty The Danube fedora
ton plan has reused too many sus-
picions in the new national States and
in Italy to give II much chance of
ever being realized. What then? There
remain only three other possibilities
a union with italy or Czecho- SlovalSia
or the development of Austria into a
second Switzerland.
All plans have been ventilated. al
though the first two are not taken
seriously. AS things stand to-day the
Entente Powers who are debating
Austria's destiny seem TO favor an
independent State living in close eco
nomic relations with its neighbors.
Largely Viennese Problem.
The Austrian problem is to a large
extent a Viennese problem. Without
Vienna the Austrian Republic would
be nearly self-supporting. 1t is the
big capital, the "hydrocephalus." that
makes the Austrian problem so diff
ficult. On the other hand this hydro
cephalus Ca city of 100000 as capital
of nation of 6,500,000 inhabitants is
entitled to this name) is of major inn
portance not only to Austria but
also to the surrounding countries.
1t Is the largest Danube harbor and
the crossing point or this important
waterway and the direct railway lines
connecting the Baltic with the Adriatic
Sea 1t Is an old industrial commercial
and cultural capital. with all the neces-
