There has linen u gre.it deal of criticism ovor the establishment of new countries out of what was the A ustro-Hu ngarla n empire. The first man I met in Vienna was an American Ameri-can who has been in tho Austrian capital for several years In un-m' un-m' -tifured terms he denounced tho Treaty of Versailles for the frontiers created. Implying; th:it the succession states should no have been formed He apparently overlooked the fact-that fact-that the Bohemians, Hungarian and Serbs had been fn ttlng at the leash for a long time. AUSTRIAN ROYAITY HELPLESS IN CRISIS, is REPORT. It Is unnecessary to lecall the national na-tional ambitions which these races held. Enforced measures had developed devel-oped the seeds of revolution It might be recited pertinently In this connection connec-tion that the killing of the Austrian grand duke in Serbia was the match that flrfd the magazine of war. Tho rf mnants of the old fiapeburg regime contend that Frans-Joeeph who was tottering and senile, and his successor. succes-sor. Carl, were Doth unequal to their ta.sks. A ,tory Is told in Vienna of the old emperor ':r h id actually been d- -clarcd several days before he knew nny thing about It One uf his ministers min-isters was finally selected to advise him of what had happened. Without With-out waste of words the announcement was made that the declaration of hos lilitles had come. Franz-Josepb, with remaining Impre.s.clons of the last conflict con-flict between Germany and Austria, said "That's good, I hope we whip the Dutch this time " Speaking of Carl brings to mind a piece of Information whiclT was supplied sup-plied b.v a reliable Journalist from Argentina. A very wealthy ranchman purchased a rope of pearls from tlv Empress Zlta wife of Emperor Carl for over one million dollars. All the proi eeds were expended in organizing and carrying out Carl's last adventurous adven-turous attempt to regain the throng Duplicity on the part of Important I persons who were paid by Carl for assistance which was never given, is charged. The Journalist in question recently! visited the former Empress Zlta In Spain She is living In circumstances Of financial stress. An old castle hus been turned over to her by the Spanish Span-ish government and except for the support which has come irom the household of King Alfonso, she und her children would bo in absolute want. She bitterly reflects upon the contrasting conditions of her life and that of the kaiser. Ho Is said to bo living In comfort and she cannot understand un-derstand why something is not done for the Hapsburgs. II J S OF NEW STATES HELD LARGELY IMAGINARY. Returning to tne question of frontiers fron-tiers affecting what is now Austria and the three succession states. Czechoslovakia. Czech-oslovakia. Hungary and Jugoslavia one frequently encounters the I repressed re-pressed belief that out of the ruins of the war have come more confusion and distress thai! were witnessed under un-der the old order. The logical response re-sponse to this Is that bad ns the situation sit-uation is now. It would ultimately have been worse if Imperialistic rule, scc-ret scc-ret diplomacy, and recurrent wars of conqueet hnd g'onc on. A man who has undergone a major surgical operation ordinarily believes B day or two after It has been performed per-formed that the measures of relief! are worse than the disease Itself In time lie realizes that the germ would have been fatal and that his experience, exper-ience, even though It involves great suffering brings ultimate recovery. The success of .he new order obviously obvious-ly presupposes that the rrcognltlon of national rights Is to he nforced by an insistent world opinion In the future. fu-ture. If this Is not to be, then civilization, civili-zation, ns we understand it, lacks ttw potential elements of self-preservation The treaty was made by human' hands No one lifts contended that' the work Is perfect. The war Which had come to an end was not fought by two nations. Elements had entered Into It that were based upon the national na-tional aspirations of sundry and distinct dis-tinct racial groups all over the continent con-tinent The time came when the loose ends of extensive disorganization had to be put together. Authority had to be established and this Involved Involv-ed the laying out of frontiers Czeohos!o akia. Roumanla and Jugoslavia Jug-oslavia do not possess homogeneous populations now It may be that II-loglral II-loglral combinations have been made. If that be true, and tranquility is to be promote by altered boundary lines the changes must come under the dc- vel oping processes of peaco and Jus- lice Two questions (hat persist are first, why so much of Hungary' was given io noumania, and second, why Austria Aus-tria was made a land-locked country while the Independent city of Danzig was created in order to give Poland an outlet to the ice The Hungarians are deeply aggrieved over the loss of population, fertile lands and tho rich coal mines In Petrozsenv and Stebi-dorf. Stebi-dorf. One Is Inclined to the thought that It might havo been better to have made Trieste an open port under un-der the control of the League of Nations, Na-tions, the same as was done with Dan-.lK Dan-.lK A double-tracked railroad running from Trieste to Lemburg, now crosses the territory of what is now Jugoslavia. Jugo-slavia. Austria. Czechoslovakia and Poland It is one of the most Important Import-ant nrterles In Europe and is vital to an economic situation Involving many millions of people. Quite obviously ob-viously economic order Is dependent upon harmony between theae nations. If the do not recognize the Importance Import-ance of governmental accord, then Trieste may become a commercial morgue. (Opyrighl 1922, by NE Service, Inc.)
