OF AUSTRIA
CRITICIsEs HIS PEOPLE
swih Beer and Wine While They Ask
American Aid to Keep Them
From Starving
(By Mail to the Associated Press)

(By Mail to the Associated Press)
Vienna, Feb. 20.-Austria' enor-
nous drink bill has aroused renewed
agitation in certain quarters for some
form of at least modified prohibition.
An official statement says it amounted
last year to 211, ,000, ,000, 900 knonen
(about $4,000. 900, ,000). This is three
times greater than the national coal
bill and about equal to the total cur
rency circulation. Imports of alco-
holic beverages exceeded exports by
about $4,000, ,000, 900 kronen.
Its most ardent advocates, however,
acknowledge that prohibition is vir-
tually an impossibility in this coun-
try, at least for many years. Beer
and wines form a part Of the susie
nance of the people from youth up
and no political party dares make it
a plank in its platform or openly ad-
vocate it.
Two years ago when the social DEM
ocrats were in power their leaders
discussed the wisdom Of such step
but after careful investigation
realized it could not be done and the
party survive. They did however au-
thorize quiet campaign against ex-
cessive drinking, as well as to pre-
pare the youth Of the country for .
possible future effort foTf prohibition.
In many other ways not only the
social democrats but many leading
men of all parties have stressed the
need of sobriety in people who face
such a struggle to survive as do the
Austrians.
President Hainisch, himself q tee
totaller, frequently makes temperance
the note of his public addresses. The
other day he remarked to delegation
that the sight of nation as hard
drinking as this asking prohibition
America for aid was hardly a pleas
ant one.
The Arbeiter Zeitung, the working
mans organ, is an editorial last week,
said: "If impoverished Austria could
summon half of the moral energy the
United States displayed IN the SUD
pression of drink she would soon have
no need to go begging OF all the
world"
| 1t is generally conceded that am
step toward prohibition must have ths
endorsement of all parties as n
party alone could survive such an 10
sue with the powerful opposition o1
the great body of the people from
working man to peasant. One step hal
been accomplished of late by the re
moval from some of the largest IN
dustrial plants Of the canteens wher,
the men could get beer and wine a
Iany hour.
