A Modern Don John in q Business Suit
By George Kennedy

Where risen from a doubtful seat and
halt att1inted stall
The last knight of Europe takes ,oeap-
ons from the iDaH.
From G. K. Chestertons "Lepanto."
HESTERTONS "last knight Of
~ Europe" was Don John Of Austria,
who turned back the Turk in 1871. His
successor arrives in Washington today.
He is Dr. Leopold Figl, Federal Chancel-
lor of Austria, who has stayed the Com
munist tide through these postwar
years.
Sofar Europe HAS always had knights
who have risen and saved it in emergen-
cies. This one has no armor. He Is
usually described as little man wearing
q rumpled business suit. He hasn't even
Q couple of horses and squire. And he
commands as many divisions as the
Pope. which is none.
Yet he has succeeded in continuing o
free-world political system to the east
Of the now-famous line from Stettin on
the Baltic to Trieste on the Adriatic."
In fact, Austria necessitateS an ennbar-
RAISING inward fold in the iron curtain.
True his country still is under four
power military occupation. But Chan
cellor FiglS government is successful In
defeating Communist opposition even in
the Soviet zone. This man, who has
been in power during the postwar period
longer than any other European chief
of state, is not greatly troubled by Aus
trian Communists. There are only f1ve
in the Parliament of 1866 members.
Figl is from the people as well as head
of a government for the people and by
the people. He is of peasant stock. That
is one of the anomalies of this modern
knight. The southeastern Teutons who
were the first of their race to adopt
chivalry, the nation of the longest dy-
nasty Hapsburg), the seat of the Holy
Roman Empire, have as their leader a
man who can only trace his family back
to 1878. Yet, if Europe is saved, history
may list him with Sobieski and Won
Starhemberg who turned the highest
tide of Islam back from the walls of
Vienna in the 18th century.
Modern Austria itself is paradox.
This nation which ruled an empire was
cut down to a splinter by the treaty
of Versailles. The Wilsonian principle
of self-determination was strictly ap-
piled to the tributary nations of the
defeated enemy. Vienna could not live
as the capital of mere million mostly
engaged in agriculture, said the econo-
miSts. She had been the metropolis
of vast complex including mines and
heavy industries and most of it had
been cut off by the new national boun-
daries and tariff walls.
The nation seemed to be indulging in
the Freudian death wish.
Civil strife with horrible incidents
broke out. The Christian Socialist gov
ernment fired artillery shells into the
modern apartments for workers built
by the Socialists. When Hitler finally
achieved Anschluss by rolling his tanks
into Vienna and not a road block was

the economic limit Of taxation has been reached"
Congress has made it clear it is not disposed to
add to the tax burden this year but its economy
efforts are making little headway against the
terrific public debt.
A new administration, Republican or Demo-
cratic, will find the problem on its doorstep next
January. It will have the advantage of eight
more months Of economic and international
political trends for study and analysis. It will
probably need, also, crystal ball of unprece-
dented clarity.

a Crime Against Humanity

There Is no world law specifically defining
and banning it, but Secretary Acheson has not
exaggerated In describing the Soviet Unions
hate -mongering propaganda as an international
crime. Premeditated, systematic and global in
character, it Is a thing that the men of the
Kremlin- together with their puppets in the
satellite lands-have been committing day after
day, around the clock, for years past. Certainly,
In its potentialities at least, it adds up to one
of the worst evils Of modern times.
Directed chiefly against the United States
and the rest of the free world the crime consists
of continuous and never-ending barrage of
gigantic lies and venomous vilification designed
to stir up suspicion, fear and hatred against
every nation on this side of the Iron Curtain.
The committing of it Is carried on in many
FORMS Thus while Russia's leaders speak
hypocritically about how eager they are to end
international tensions and establish good
peace, their East German puppets-who have
threatfully announced plans to build up an
army-seek to incite the West Germans to over
throw the Bonn government by force and
violence Similarly, with verbatim echoes in the
satellite countries, the Soviet propaganda ma
chine continues to pour out the vicious and
totally mendacious charge that America has been
waging germ warfare in Korea and Red China.
Countless other examples could be cited.
This cfime-the hate melting lie unlimited
knows no bounds of decency or restraints Of
honor, and because of it the world has reason
to wonder with Mr.. Acheson whether there is
any use at all in trying to negotiate live-and-
let-live understanding with those guilty of it.
It has become terrible poison in our human
society, and it may yet kill what little hope
remains among men and nations for decent
and enduring peace. Here is wickedness on
scale almost too vast to be comprehended
