Both the political and economic situ ations are believed here to have grown daily worse since early Autumn. The holiday season found Vienna with a reduced bread ration, virtually no fats and without fuel. The expect ed supply of coal from Cxheco-Slov-akia has not been received and public utilities were kept partly in operation only by great efforts and economies. High hopea had been entertained from the visit of Chancellor Renner to the Supreme Council at Paris. The people expected that Austria would obtain sufficient credit, food, fuel and raw material for the resumption of their industrial life. Now that the re sult of his journey has become known the newspaper sound a not of de spair. One of them remarks that the decision of the Supreme Council that Austria means that that province is conemned to suffer along with the rest of Austria until the ordinary na tive wilt have hardly sufficient for food and clothing becomes a luxury for even the comparatively well-to-do.
