The Austrian cabinet headed by Jo-
ham Schober as chancellor ard for
eign minister was formed in June
1921.
Recently Austria has been in dire
financial straits. The crown last Mon
day was quoted at 10000 to the
American dollar. The panic was as
cribed to an approaching change in
the government and a growing belief
that no, ministry would be able to cure
the prevailing conditions. In finan-
cial circles the trouble was considered
due partly to irksome restrictions and
heavy taxes on foreign money pur-
Chases, which it was asserted had
driven buyers to Prague and Budapet,
resulting in foreign money famine
in Vienna.
Austria for some time vairly has
endeavored to secure foreign loan.
At one time it was said the govern
ment would pledge its famous Goblin
tapestries in the United States for an
advance of GS.O00.OOO The inter-
allied PREPARATIONS committee granted
the government permission to use art
treasures to obtain money.
Meanwhile the printing presses In
Austria have been busily engaged in
turning out crowns, On January first
a dispatch from Vienna estimated the
banknote circulation at about so bill
lion crowns. 1t was announced in Vi
emma yesterday that the Austrian
Hungarian bank had been issuirE bills
in denominations of 5000 and $4,000
crowns. A dispatch from London
Wednesday night. quoting the London
Times Vienna correspondent. said Il
was understood Austria needed imne-
diately G2,5O0000. The correspondent
added that until the United States AMI
other debtor powers had waived their
liens on Austria the government would
be unable to raise a foreign credit.
Austria's inability to offer security
against the loan was declared by the
correspondent as more apparent than
real. He said with passage of the
funding bill of Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon by the United States SEN
ate, Austria would be able Immediate
ly to repay the sum she needed so urg-
emily as carry-over loan to prevent the
further collapse of the crown.
