AUSTRIA: Perils Exist

In his latest report to the Council of the League of Nations at Geneva, Dr. Zimmerman, Rotterdam Burgomaster, League Commissioner General of Austrian finances, sounded a warning to the people of Austria.

Said he: “If their efforts are to be successful, there must first be a change in the whole atmosphere in which the work of reform is being pursued; there must be a return to notions of economy and saving, the full significance of which has not yet been grasped by the public.”

He said if the present spirit be prolonged—the spirit of reckless strikes and fevered frivolities—financial control can never be withdrawn, because the increase in revenues cannot continue.
