Armed Factions Worry Austria;
Citizens Fear Warlike Outbreak
I Ily' Wade Werner
. VIENNA' OP) Disarm ii meat Is a
i) big word in Austria Just now, but not
because of the meeting in the big
glass house at Geneva.
What worries thousands of Aus
Itrians is the competitive armament
?of the socialists' "schutzbund" and
the fascists' "heimwehr." The so
Icialtsts are arming against "the las
k cist menace" of the heimwehr and
the latter doesn't deny that it Is arm-
ing against "the enemy on' the left."
Sober-minded citizens wonder
how long an explosion can be
avoided.
The prospects for an outbreak Bf
l some sort probably were heightened
bit by the recent upset In the cabl-
f-net. When Dr. Karl Buresch. chan-
now ex-foreign minister.
Dr. Schober, a frank pro-German,
was said to be persona non grata to
Austria's French creditors and his
prominence In the government was
held a handicap on efforts to ease
the financial burdens of the republic.
But apart from this the socialists
were glad to see him . go. They had
accused him of having . backed the
abortive "putsch." of last September
and they were inclined to blame his
influence for the acquittal of the
leaders of that attempt to seize
power.
Meanwhile the opposing piles ;
of civil-war munitions mount
higher.
Socialist newspapers repeatedly have
charged the heimwehr with posses
f osllor, reorganized his government j sing large stores of arms, Including
E n ine closing days or January, he
i dropped Johonn Schober, ex-head of
) the national police, ex-chancellor and

heimwehr announcements of machine-gun
practice for members. .
... All of this is not exactly re
assuring to the peaceful citizen
who would like to see both, sides
put away their guns. But both
. sides Insist on "security."
' The socialists don't want to dis
arm without some guarantee against
a heimwehr "putsch." The heimwehr
is equally insistent on security
against a "red dictatorship." .
Another phrase often used tti the
International discussions at Geneva,
"equality In armament." is cropping
up every day In the arguments over
who shall have guns and grenades
in Austria.
Want Arms Equality
"The same deal for all!" cry the
socialists. And the heimwehr lead
ers exclaim: .
"An arsenal; even enough incen
diary bombs to burn down Vienna,
hidden in the socialist cellar! . Isn't
it clear now why we have to be
ready?" - .
1 Meanwhile the newspapers' print
columns about' the international dis
armament conference, and now and
then a discouraged citizen cynically
remarks: .
"Genevia and world peace! Huht
After- all, why shouldn't disarma
ment begin at home?" '

$1 Spent Worth $1.79, According' ; ;
To Survey; Hoarded, Worth 56 Cents
PORTLAND. Ore. (Special) The
dollar you spend today is worth
$1.79. The dollar .you. hoard- will
soon almost before yau know it
be worth, only 6Q cents.
That In a.' nutshell Is the startling
and warning truth revealed in what
is probably the most extensive nation-wide
marketing survey under
taken since the business depression's
pendulum started on its very evident
swing upward.
These facts, gathered by a group
of America's foremost marketing
counsellors wen released .. last . week
to banks, to newspapers' and other
key channels all over the country.
At meetings held without publicity
they were laid before merchants rep
resenting every business and industry.
, In Portland wlieri dot nils of the sur
vey were received bankers met in tho
U. S. National bank and wero so Im
pressed by the findings that it was de
cided to make them available to all
merchants. As the quickest and most
efficient- merchandising medium! The
Oregonlan was chosen to make .the
facts known In the Pacific northwest.
. Meetings of merchants of Portland
wero called at once. The furniture
group met Monday at the Benson
hotel. Tho Portland Automobile Deal
em' association gathered in the direc
tors' room of tho U. S. National bank.
Women's and men's wear merchants
mot at the' same plaqe later in tho
day. Jewelers and opticians gath
ered at the Bank of California.
. Before each group were laid the
facts warning them to prepare for
tho time now close at hand when
their customers' . dollar, which today
dees the work of $1.70, will presently
be worth only Its old normal 1922
sum of 58 cents,
Carl Helntz, Pacific coast manager
of the Hanff-Metzgor company, one
of America's biggest firms of mer
chandising engineers, was the speak
er. The facts he laid before the
merchants were these;
The drop In buying has been due
not to lack of money. There Is more
than one billion three hundred mil
lion dollars of currency hoarded In
I this country. This Is money taken
1 out of circulation, money hidden away
i In secret places. Portland is no ex
ception In this respect. In this city
today there are so many safe deposit
vaults in use that it is well nigh
Impossible to rent one. Banks have
more Individual savings accounts than
in normal times the accumulation
of funds that normally would be
spent to purchase the normal re
quirements of life.
There is plenty of credit available
for buying. Never before in tho his
tory of installment buying has the
public so completely paid up their
purchases. More automobiles are to
day paid for out of cash than at any
other time in the history of Install
ment buying. Furniture contracts are
paid up radios aro paid for the
public -has paid out but has not re
bought. This tremendous credit res
ervoir is available and when It is
drawn upon it Is safe to say It will
result lii a terrif 16 stimulus of buy
ing. . '
Economy Ilecomcs Style
"The present lack of demand," de
clared Mr. Helntz, "can bo 'summar
ized in these- brief words: 'It is no
longer fashionable to buy.' Fashions
i change people are very much like
sheep, they follow the trend. Two
years ago it w.not matt for the
business man who called on you to
make the statement that the suit he
had civ was last' year's but that he
was going .to wear it completely out
before replacing .It.
"Today It Is accepted for the man
to drive his old automobile, passed
off by the statement that times are
hard, 'I'll wait for better times to
buy a new on 3. Even women have
taken It up and carried it to ex
tremec. It has actually become fash
ionable for women to wear their last
year's dinner dresses -'women brag
about it they boast a'oout not being
ablo to do as much entertaining, or
doing It In such a fashion that they
take pleasure In speaking of their
economy. Just as buying Is Infec
tious, so Is lack of buying. ,
liollnr Worth 91.79
"Tho dollar spent today as com
pared with tho purchasing power of
the normal dollar In 1823 Is worth
$1.79, based on th five basic com
modities of living. Conversely the dol
lar hoarded today for the purpose of
purchasing . when times return to
normal will at that time buy about
half as much. In other words, it will
shrink in value as the purchasing
power of the dollar returns to normal.
"In other words, as people gen
erally realize that today they can pur
chaso almost $2 In value -for $1 ex
penditure, it la .only reasonable to'
suppose that they will continue, as
they have nqv started to do, to tuke
advantage of this most unusual op
portunity. ' i
"Take, foe example, furniture. To
day's dollar, In comparison with 1022
values, will buy $1.87 worth of furni
ture. Furniture is not an ovcry-doy
purchase, so is It not logical that It
should be bought now, when your
dollar buys so much, rather than
wait for times to return to normal
when your dollar will buy relatively
only half as much?. . V . .
"Women's clothing-is another excelV
lent example.' Women today can ac
tually buy two dressefe1 for the price
they would pay in normal times for.
one thus for the price paid for one
dress In boom times they can secure .
three dresses at today's value. So it
is riot extravagant for women tb wear
tho clothes they need for normal con
ditions for the purchasing power has
increased so that normal buying will
cloth them far better than they can
possibly hope for when conditions re
turn to normal. - : , ;
"Take automobiles, for1 instance,
and all automotive products. Re
search discloses that your dollar .'to-
day has a purchasing power of more
than $2. Two automobiles can be purr
chased- for- the normal cost of one.
Home construction is perhaps , the
greatest bargain on the market today. .
''And sb on through the entire list
of commodities. It is our sincere be
lief that as the . public realizes the
bargains they can buy today that in
stead of hoarding their money- they'
will taker advantage of these .very
unusual conditions and 6pend- their
money for the things they need, for
at today's' values they can save half
their dollar- and spend half their
dollar and still acquire as much as
their whole dollar would buy In nor
mal times." . .. .'
