AUSTRIA IS DYING FROM PEACE TERMS
Cardinal Tiffi, Archbishop of Vienna, Blames Treaty for National Misery
"Babies Perishing Slowly"
Rome, Dec. 18.—Gunt famine rides through Austria crushing innocent woman and babies and threatening the entire nation with anthilation. One of the greatest catastrophes in history is imminent and can only be avoided through prompt aid of Austria's erstwhile enemies.
Characterizes Nation's Situation As Desperate—"Crushed Foresee."
This was the word picture painted today by Cardinal Tiffin, archbishop Vienna, in describing conditions in America after the war he told of the suffering and hopelessness that war had brought upon Austria, once the most powerful nation in the world, into the state, politically and economically at the mercy of the allies.
The cardinal made no effort to gloss over the fact he believed the peace in Europe was far more largely responsible for the present conditions. An economic union with Germany, he said, was imperative, if Austria continued an independent policy.
"While our economic situation is desperate as a nation we are crushed forever," Cardinal Tiffi said, "Under the treaty, Austria cannot live. The United States will fill will many a page in history, and one day with it will be regretted."
"Every house in Vienna is now a house of sorrow, in which you will find disheartened women, suffering from cold and hunger, and emaciated children. Children are lost from lack of nourishment. The older children are dying a slower but less painful death. I speak for these insolent. They must be saved."
