Think Further Chances KILLED.
The attempted Hapsburg coup. which
at one period. it is admitted, had
nearly a chance of success. promises
to have a very different effect. The
social democrats plan to introduce in
the national assembly resolutions de-
manding that the government take
steps to hurry ratification by France
and England of the Trianon treaty,
providing for the surrender of West
Hungary to Austria, and making pro-
vision for the protection of Austrian
frontiers by the entente. They de-
clare this action is necessary to pre-
vent further royalist attempts at res
toration.
Agreement by the Austrian govern
ment for the safe conduct of Charles
across the country was not secured
without difficulties of political ma
ture The social democrats at hrst
insisted that the former emperor
must travel ostensibiy as a prisoner
under guard while on Austrian soil.
but the Christian socialists were sue
cessful in opposing such plan. de-
manding due respect for the person
of a member of the royal family.
The three leading political parties
have agreed to make separate state
ments before the assembly, placing
on record as being op-
posed to the return of the Hapsburgs
The socialist leaders attempted yes
tardav to force adoption of a joint
statement prepared by them and
chiefs of the greater German party
hnt the Christian socialists found the
language of the statement too, radical.
and finally it was decided that sep
arate declarations should be made.
