The Collapse Of a Nation

An event unprecedented in history is the decision
Of the Austrian that it is at the end Of its
and will be unable to continue its work. We
have heard of banks failing and of factories closing
their doors because of failure of financial support and
of railroads going into the hands of receiver.
We have also heard of governments being overthrown
by revolution, and of nations being eliminated by
quest but this is the first time that the government of
independent nation has voluntarily declared its
inability to keep going, and has been unable to turn its
responsibilities to another party group Of its
nation.
The Austrian government proposes to unload its
duties upon the Teparaons commissions of the entente
and that commission will be faced with the alternative
of accepting the mandate of abandoning Austria to
anarchy and the Boshevki.
The truth of the matter is that conditions in Aus
tria have reached the stsge that it predicted they
would come to when the peacemakers at Paris Aus
tria-Hungary to pieces, giving portions to Czecho-
slovaki Rumana Jugosavia and Italy, and leaving to
Austria territory and insufficient support
national existence, and at the time refusing
permit these soutkGemans to unite with the Germans
Of the north.
1t is true that the subject races of the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy had been oppressed and pundered
and that the treaty could not be written justice
without hberang the victims of Austrian conquest.
And 1t is also true that there good reasons why
France and her allies protested against increasing Ger
man power by the annexation of German Austria But
the fact remains that the release of the subject popua-
tions left Austria without visible means of support and
the refusal to permit the union of Austria with Germany
was violation of the principle of self determination
well as of the principle of racial unity as basis of
nationality.
There seem 10 be hut three alternatives for Aus
tria: government by international commission
anarchy and union with Germany. of the three the
last is very muck the most reasonable.

Good Roads Convention

The tenth annual convention of the Colorado Good
Roads association has been called to meet at the
Albany hotel in Denver Wednesday, January 30
This will be in respects the most important of all
the conventions of this nature that have been held in
Colorado A highways bill will undoubtedly be
presented to the legislature in session, and
highways law will probably be passed.
The good roads movement in Colorado has reached
a point where very large amount of money will be
available in the next few years for road construction
has not yet reached the point where it is certain that
this money will be spent to the best advantage.
The people of the state divided into two classes
those whose chief interest is in good roads, and those
whose chief interest spending the road money where
it will do the most good-to themselves The very fact
that such large available has increased
the activities of those whose is for the gen.
good of the state but for the benefit of party
place or person.
Fortunately Governor Shoup appears to be sincere
in his desire to the road money to build up and
maintain permanent highway system for the state and
in his effort he should have something than silent
approval The good roads money is prize big enough
to attract the attention of whose the
public interest and to encourage their activities
If the people of Colorado want the good roads
money spent for good roads, they their in
fluence to assure the passage of the right kind of
road law by the present general assembly
