Fiume Bubbling Again.

ID EPORTS from Italy say that the Fascist Of

paratory to a thrust against the Zanela govern
ment of the free city Of Fiume. The Fascist OBJ

are said to have burned railway containing
uniforms for the police force. to have thrown a
bomb against President Zanella's palace (the bomb
failing to exploded to have forcbly released from
Jail those arrested for the bombthrowing. They
have in general, been behaving very badly.
In the spring of 1921, visitors to- the pic

Fume great display of Italian flags all over
the place Where flags not floating, there
were political posters exhorting voters their
ballots for the National bloc" the candidates sup
ported by the Fascist. There many signs of
Death to Zanella! and practically posters
favorable to Zanella and his party. A stranger
would be inclined to wonder where poor Zanella
to get any votes at all. Residents Of Fiume
would explain to visitors that Zanea and his party
favored independent Fiume, genuine free city,
agreed by the great powers while the Fascist
favored union with Italy, though how they were
to bring it about they doubtless didn't know. In
order gain victory, the Fascist had persistenty
intimidated the population hoping that such action
would prevent partisans of Zanella from voting.
On account OF D'Annunzio's rule and the suisse
quent methods OF the Fascist, the business of
Fiume had dwndled to next to nothing, and there
was considerable hunger and suffering in the city.

told.
When the election took place, Zanella and his
party won easily, as informed observers expected
in spite of the flags and the posters and the in
tmdation and the curailng of the election lists by
the Fascist. But the Fascist did not accept the
result of vote which unfairly liberal to them.
They tried to seize the government by force. In
this they were thwarted, largely by the action Of
Italian regulars-to the credit OF the Italian
ernuent Zanella has been in power since.
Now, we read a story in the same strain: the
Fascist plot to overthrow the government, they re-
sort to violence, they attempt the bombing OF the
palace they still seek annexation to Italy. Again
we read that business is at standstill, that there
is no shipping in the port (Which might be splcn-
did gateway to the Balkans), that American firms,
having various contracts with the city of Fiume,
find themselves unable to do any business. 1t is
true that the Fascist did good in Italy when
Italy was threatened with communism. In Fiumc.
their activities have been entirely malehcent.

vance money to Austria, they feel the Austrian
house must be set in order, financially. Thus far,
the Austrian government has been unable to do
this itself. The London report would indicate that
it was thought perhaps easier for Austria to take
the necessary drastic steps to balance her budget
and otherwise straighten things out il the re-
sponsibiity for those steps could be laid partially
to some other power.
This report that the allies are to make Czecho-
sovakia the guardian. of Austria, to some extent
controlling Austrian finance and, possibly, guaran-
teeing the internal order OF Austria has not been
confirmed One doubts that it will be confirmed.
Yet the very report has sort of poetic interest
which arouscs the imagination. 1t is not so long
ago that Austria was. in very real sense the
overload of Czechosovakia An Austrian monarch
ruled Bohemia and the other territory now COM
posing Czechoslovakia. The Czechs, not without
reason, considered themselves oppressed They be-
lieved that they were taxed for the benefit of the
Austrians particularly to maintain the great capital
of Vienna. Now, the wheel has turned. Austria is
suffering; her finances wreck; Vienna is the
most depressed large city in Europe On the other
hand. Czechoslovakia is relatively prosperous her
finances in good order; politically, she is the
most promising. the most stable of the Eu-
ropesn states.
Yet, II Austria were to have another nation as
guardian" it is doubtful that better could be
found than Czechoslovakia. new feeling has been
developing feeling of friendship and cooperation
President Hainisch, of Austria, and President Mas
aryk. of Czechosloyaka, have had historic meetings.
Other official representatives have met in cordial
consultations. Treaties of political and CONNER
cial nature have been signed. An agreement has
been entered into under which disputes would be
referred to arbitration to the Permanent Court
of International Justice. Austria and Czecho-
slovakia are good neghbors If Czechoslovakia
should be named guardian of Austria, that
guardianship would be friendly one in which the
interests of the ward would be we'll watched.

More Pension Money for Old

Just a little space in your open
