Abstract

Austria- May, 1922
Villard, Oswald Garrison | June 21, 1922 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses Austria at crossroads. Austria, is partly paralyzed; Austria, bespeaks public charity and needs it. For Austria, it is now a struggle to keep body and soul together. The gaiest and most gallant of cities, rejoicing in the pomp and circumstance of a court whose ceremonial exceeded that of any other in costly magnificence, with an aristocracy as light-living as any in the world, Vienna today appears somber beside the ghost of its own past, beside that Vienna which Kaiser Franz Josef gambled away when he allowed the mischief-makers of his Foreign Office to cajole or to lead him into the war with Serbia.
