AUSTRIA-The Austrian parliament
airy elections Of November Q resulted
as follows: Social Democrats Social
ists), ~ seats; Christian Socialists (the
Catholic and Conservative party, headed
by Mgr. SeipeD, IS; Economic party "a
new group, headed by DR.. Schober, re-
Gently displaced as chancellor), 10;
Heimwehr party (headed by the IRE
eater Prince Won Starzemberg), 8.
The distribution of seats is about the
same as in the late Parliament. The
developments will be uneasily watched
by the world, in particular the behavior
Of Prince Won Starzemberg, minister Of
the interior, who has recently dis
tinguiShed himself by seizure of arms
In the hands of Socialists and by sup
preston of radical and even moderate
newspapers, and who has virtually
threatened Heimwehr dictatorship.
One should not be misled by the weak
showing of the Heimwehr party, a re-
cent political development. The semi
is made up chiefly of Christian Social
lists. Whether the latter will support
the extremist program Of the Prince
Won Starzemberg remains to be seen.
