Allies Give Food
The communists of Herman-Aus
tria have -been told that if commun
ism is adopted here the allies would
cut off food supplies but this argu
ment has been removed since the al
lies have appeared willing to treat
with the communists at Budapest. .
Italy has ordered the German-Aus
trian republic to disband and disarm
any troops regarded as pro-commun
ist. The situation at Budapest pre
vents Vienna banks from making up
their yearly statements. It is impos
sible as yet to estimate the value of
securities held by Hungary and it is
said that even, it Hungary should
agree to make settlements with the
Uerman-Austrlan republio, any new
money she might offer would be
without value. Business at Vieilua
is at a standstill with the banks oper
ating virtually as government tax of
fices.
"The only salvation here is to kill
Bolshevism with work," said Dr. Al
fred Treichl, director ot the Anglo-
American bank today, "but we can
not give -work unless we can secure
