Austria Develops Bitter
Anti-Cerman Feeling
BY ANTHONY LANE.

VIENNA. June 10.-The bitterness In
Austria, In almost all classes Of the
public. against the Hitler regime in
Germany is almost incredible. Only
. few months ago Austria looked to
Germany as q big brother, and the
idea Of "Anschluss" was gaining ground
50 rapidly that it could be predicted
that it was only question of time.
Today anti-German feeling runs SO
high and strong that q call to arms
would bring hundreds Of thousands of
volunteers TO the recruiting Offices.
Newspapers openly declare that II Ger
many continues her provocative tactics
she viii learn that Austrian steel is
sharp.
The Naxi decree instituting q visa fee
Of $3.50 for German tourists going to
Austria and the closing Of the Austro-
Bavarian frontier TO non-Nazis brought
resentment to q fever heat, and the
amazing statements of the NaH deputy,
Habicht, given to the foreign press In
Vienna itself. added insult to injury.
Habicht, 1t is recalled. declared that
If Austria would lift the ban on Nazi
uniforms the visa fee would be revoked
Immediately. This is considered a bald
confession that Germany Is interfering
in Austrian internal affairs, attempting
to bring pressure on the Austrian gov
ernment to modify police regulation that
it has every right, in international law,
to adopt.
In fact, the decree against uniforms
applied to all political organizations has
worked as much hardship on the So
cialist militia in Vienna as on the NaN
troops Therefore, the German gov
ernment cannot claim that the order
was discriminatory. But even If the
order had applied, practically, to the
Nazi troops alone, the Austrian gov
eminent is unable to see why 1t should
be held accountable to Berlin for ac-
tions taken within Austria against Aus
trian citizens.
There is even loud demand here for
prosecutions Of Austrian Nazi leaders
for treason, on the argument that they
owe allegiance to Hitler, chief of
foreign state.
German manufacturers formerly filled
the shop windows Of Vienna, but they
are giving way to goods from France,
Italy. England, and even Czechoslo-
vakia, much as the latter country Is de-
tested by the rank and file Of Aus
trians. The German visa decree make
an exception in the case Of ccmmer-
cial travellers, but in spite Of this favor
German drummers are having a hard
time disposing Of their wares in this
country. ~
There Is a marked swing OF opinion
toward France and toward the idea. Of
an entente with France on the one
hand and Hungary on the other Aus
tria and Hungary have both reacted
strongly against Hitlerisfn, and find
in this common enemy new bond of
union. The action of the International
Journalists Convention in Budapest, in
excluding German members as a pro-
test against Nazi restrictions on liberty
of the press, was enthusiastically ap-
plauded in Vienna.

Back From Death.

Some year ago H. C. Witwer wrote
for Golfers Weekly an article en-
titled Back From Sir divers Lodge"
II was the story Of an illness through
which he had passed, the story Of an
excursion up to, but not quite through,
the gates Of death. Prepared in his
natural and peculiar style Of half
whimsical jocularity, 1t nevertheless
afforded real insight into the mind Of
d man who was coming back to life,
acoming back to the privilege Of living.

writing. There must be many who,

details of his treatment of the theme.
still are conscious Of its central
thought-that it is a wonderful priN-
1ege to be alive again.
Through every hospital in the land
there moves an endless procession Of
men and women treading the path
that Witwer trod. They come from the
routine courses OF ordinary work and
play In search of the physical power to
return to the same. Stricken with ILL
ness or hurt in one kind Of accident or
another, they seek the skilled aid
which they have reason to believe may
quiet their pain. restore them to health
willingly they submit themselves to
the judgment of physicians and sur
seons, the care of nurses. All that
they have of faith. courage and hope
: they bring as their spiritual capital tc
support the ordeal. By grace of Provi-
sdence ana the exercise OF dedicated
scientific genius they may attain the
blessed goal of restored physical well
being toward which they strive. But
even If there is no return from the Val.

France Regards London
Meeting Alphabetically
BY WILLIAM BIRD,

PARIS, June 10.-The opening Of the
London Economic Conference on Mon
day is regarded in France. as in fact
practically throughout Europe, without
great enthusiasm or optimism.
So far as the general public is con-
cerned, there is a realization that after
the opening speeches are out of the
way. the conference is bound to get
down to separate discussions in COM
mittee of highly technical matters re-
lating to currencies and trade.
The man in the street is ready
enough to admit that these discussions
and the conclusions to which they will
lead may have some effect on the prices
he pays, or on the wages he gets, or
on his chances of finding a job, If he
happens to belong to the class which
Is "in the street" because 1t has no
other place to go. But on the whole. no
very striking reforms In the manner in
which the worlds economy is run are
looked for.
The sixty nations represented at Lon
don may 60 so far as to decide that
they will avoid making matters worse,
if they can; but it is not in the nature
of international conferences to iraugu-
rate sweeping changes in the mechanism
of international life.
The monetary question seems likely
to dominate the conference, and that,
in q way, Is too bad, because the fact
that this question has not been settled
in advance Is regarded by the gold
standard countries as sign that the
United States and England intend to
use their flexible money standards for
bargaining purposes. 1t does not mat
ter much whether the controlled infia-
tion system ultimately fixes the dollar
at so per cent or 90 per cent of its
former gold value, but it does matter
whether the dollar is finally spiked at
some definite gold content or is al
lowed to bob up and down, upsetting
all possible calculations of people who
want either to buy American goods or
sell their own goods to America.
Practically all the nations represented
in London have but one purpose, namely
to secure some kind Of pact whereby
their own products can be sold abroad.
But very few of them are ready to
own goods can be found only to the
extent that they will accept. the goods
Of other countries in exchange.
The protective tariff principle, which
Americans commonly think Of as de-
signed solely to maintain high wages
at home and furnish employment,
operates really, especially in Europe,
as an instrument of national defense.
Many nations, for example, maintain
automobile works ON their own soil by
means Of prohibitive tariffs on foreign
cars, simply because automobile fac
tories are needed in war time to turn
out motors for the army. In the same
way practically all countries having
national defense system protect the
artificial silk industry, which supplies
explosives
The tariff problem, therefore. Is by
not means exclusively economic It is
also q military question, and this fac
tor win weigh heavily against any sub
stantial and general reduction Of tariffs

It is heartening thing at this tense
moment in our upside-down world,
where nowadays only the tossing oceans
between the turbulent lands seem care

prove once again the unshaken truth
Of the grand old adage. blessings

For down in the bottom Of our

on Disgusting herself as almost any

OF her existence, with this past year
that It Is Frightening as she prepares

You see, we have quite unconsciously

nine gender. And no wonder It Is

emotional, the most irrational, the most

When President Roosevelt spanked

Demonstration of Confidence.

Unusual significance has been at
taehed to the oversGbscription of the
Treasurys hundred million dollar
offer of securities last week because
the, issue so quickly followed abandon
unent of the gold clause IN Government
as well as other bonds. This oversub-
scrtption, it is maintained, indicates the
great confidence of the people in their
Government as well as the minor i'm
portance Of the gold clause. 1t in
creases the prospect for relatively easy
financing of the great industrial re-
covery program through further bond
issues.
Il is, of course, encouraging al
wzyx-to note the confidence as shown
In the oversubscription of the Treasury
issue. But to draw any special signih-
canoe from this display of confidence
IN relation to gold clause Reputation is
q little far-fetched The Federal Gov
eminent would be in dire straits, indeed.
il it we're unable to borrow money.
Nobody has yet so plumbed the depths
Of pessinism as to suggest that Govern
ment credit has been destroyed.
Some of the practical factors which
are to be taken into consideration with
the oyersubscription of Treasury notes
and certificates bearing low interest are
that the banks have a great deal OF
money today that is not finding an i'm
mediate outlet in commercial activity;
that these Government issues are quickly
convertible into cash at short notice;
that money rates in New York are so
low on tle call market that outside
bankers are not finding it profitable to-
place surplus funds there; that the,
Federal Reserve banks may be purchas-
ing large blocks of the new issues TO
hold IN reserve and, possibly, to increase
the oversubscription; that some cor
porations are buying large blocks Of the
new issues, easily converted into cash
for pay RON purposes, and that all the
banks, generally speaking, are anxious
to maintain the bond market.
As far as Reputation of the gold
clause is concerned. the fairer test of
the significance Of that act in connec-
ton with this new issue Of Treasury
securities would be had if there were
competition between commercial sec1ri-
ties bearing the gold clause and Cow
eminent securities without the gold
clause. As it is, the gold clause has
been stricken from all contracts. Gov
eminent securities retain their relative
prestige for safety and dependabflity.
The Reputation OF the gold clause is
one thing in its retroactive effect
where the Government and other debt
ors refuse to live up to a promise made.
and accepted In good faith It is an
other thing In relation to future securi-
ties. TIE value of the gold clause viii

taken, and the Administration Is as

delusive currency debasement will never
be undertaken. Confidence in the Gov
ernsnent is the most essential element
