AFRICAN WAR HELD
PERIL TO MISSIONS
Austrian Article, Thought In.
spired by Some, Sees Islam
Ready to Attack There.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VIENNA, August 24.-Amidst the
wave of pro-Italian sentiment, which
has swept the Austrian press consid-
cradle attention, was attracted today
by an article in the semi-offlcial
Catholic Reichspost pointing out
what it described as the peril to
Catholic foreign missions If war be-
gins in Ethiopia.
The article. believed by some to
have been inspired by the Vatican,
declared:
IF 1t comes to war in Ethiopia 1t
will be catastrophe for the further
development Of Catholic missions
even more so in Asia than in Africa.
"Anglo-Saxon professionalism in Eu-
rope and America is whole-heartedly
on the Ethiopian side. fact which
will prevent the colored races from
revolving against the British Empire.
But the Catholic situation Is quite
different. Italy is not only a Catho-
lie country. with catholicism its ON
cial religion, Rome harbcrs both
Italy's government and the head Of
the Catholic Church.
1T will be difdcult to explain to
the Asian rice farmer and the Afri-
can goat herder the peculiar status
of Vatican City"
The article also suggests that Islam
is waiting only a pretext to crush
Christianity In Africa.
