Reflections Of a Refugee

! AUSTRIA, Apr. 16-I had wishe,
to delay answering some question.
asked me, but now l must hurry
since here everyone seems to fee
that the Iron Curtain may descend
on us soon. The smell of war is
strong here. The Soviets have been
preparing for war, and are prepared
This will not be a war between
states, but an theological war. The
Soviets fully realize that no mo-
ment could be more opportune: the
United States is unprepared, Eng
land is weakened, German can hard
ly keep alive for famine, France is
economically weak and has a large
fifth column, Italy is not worthy
of consideration, and as for the
small countries such as Belgium,
Holland, etc., they are not even
mentioned. AS Hitler did in his
time, so the Soviets, intoxicated
with victory, are overreaching them
selves. They hope to win, and to
promulgate Communism in the en-
tire world. But they do not wish
to appear in the role of aggressor,
for this would be a trump card
for propaganda against them.
They want to force the British
or the Americans to fire the first
shot (they usually pay no atten-
lion to the French). They are now
making every attempt to get the
first shot fired. They began in Ber-
lin, and now the same is occurring
in Austria. They lay the British
to ridicule, empowering their own
soldiers to demand identified t
papers of British officers. Russian
soldiers detained the British vice
commissioner for Austria for a en-
tire hour while he was travelling
from the British Zone to Vienna.
They detain British diplomatic cou-
riers bearing official m e s ag S.
They are trying out their patience,
hoping to provoke the first shot,
after which war will proceed, ac-
by outcries that they
we're attacked and are being forced
% defend themselves. This opinion
S expressed that in case such pro-
yocation is not successful up to the
line of the Italian election, the So
yiets may attack regardless. Since
hey are not sure that the Commu-
lists will win in these election, an
lprising will begin in Italy during
he election or Immediately after,
md the Soviets will extend
lelping hand"
In the face of such an eventuality

er of parliament in case they (the
President and the Speaker) should
be restricted in the performance of
their duties. AS you know, at the
three-power conference, by the vote
of Messrs. Churchill and Stain, the
occupation of the capitals of Ger
many and Austria was so decided
that the headquarters of the British.
French and Americans are in the
power of the Soviets, surrounded
as they are in Berlin and in Vienna.
1t is feared that the Soviets may
restrict the activities of the Presi-
dent and of the speaker of parlia-
ment, and force them to act accord
ing to their wishes, in this case
their deputies would begin to func-
tion in the part of Austria not oc-
cupied by the Soviets. =.
So you see what sort of atmos-
phere is prevailing here. Lithuan-
ians of Vienna may be said to be
fenced in completely; they can on
ly leave by airplane or escape "over
the green frontier" for now even
military trains of the British and
Americans are controlled by the So
viets. But our fate also differs lit
tie from theirs. If war operations
commence, we shall be forced to
bow to fate and to remain here.
There will be no place for us to
flee, for war operations will proceed
with great speed. The Soviets will
not meet with opposition on the
part of the British, for they are al
most non-existent here. Opposition
of the Americans will also be weak,
for there are few Americans. The
French will retreat to their own
country to defend it, which will be
since the Communist fifth |
column is large and will help the
Soviets. In this way the whole of
Europe till the shores of the At
antic will be in the hands of the
Soviets in a few days. Flight will
be impossible.
1t would perhaps be possible to
try to go to Switzerland, but this
country will try to avoid taking in
refugees and will either not admit
them at all, or will send them back.
Switzerland has already made an
Indirect statement on this question,
and will try by all means to avoid
giving the Soviets pretext. Our
fate will be shared by the other
refugees, who are here in great
numbers and only small part of
whom have been taken elsewhere.
