CROWN GROWS
IN VALUE AT
SIGN OF HELP
Czech and English Credits AL
most Double Worth of
Austrian Money.

VIENNA, Feb. 15.-The encouragement
and relief arising from the positive news
of Czech and English credits are re
fected in the boom in Austrian exchange
which almost doubled the value Of the
crown within a fortnight, bringing sor-
row only to bull spectators on the vi
emma bourse. Continued, though steadier,
Improvement is anticipated and govern
ment authorities already believe the
country is on the way to financial re-
construction.
Although those hopes may be tribe
premature, there is more ground to be
lieve the improvement in the crown and
the possibility Of getting the most ur-
gently needed commodities such as coal,
wood, sugar and textiles on tick through
the Czech credits will check the rising
tide of prices, stabilize them on a some
what lower level, and thus quiet the nery-
Gus, excited feeling Of the poorer pop
ulation which threatened to find vent IN
a renewal of food riots.
1t also will enable the government to
proceed with certain anti-waste measures,
upon which it has not dared to venture
during the period Of wild exchange fuc-
tuations and rapidly rising prices. A
leading financial authority said to your
correspondent:
"a reduction in the number Of employees
and perhaps n reduction in wages to d
sensible level is needed to reduce in
f1ation and bring the budget into bal
ance. These measures were impossible q
few months ago and would have produced
riots and strikes which weakened Aus
tria would have been unable to survive.
The far stronger German government,
badly shaken by the recent railway
strikes was not far from a catastrophe
and the situation here is much more deli
cate, but sterilization and lowering of
prices will enable US to proceed with the
anti-waste program. "-Copyright, 1922,
