Cash or Charge SEES WAR DANGER | INAUSTRIAN CRISIS British Diplomat Fears Great Powers May Be Drawn Into Balkan Struggle. By the Associated Press. PARIS, January 15—Sir William Goods, British member of the Aus- trian section of the reparations com- mission, at a luncheon in his honor at the Renaissance Club spoke freely on the situation in Austria. “Three eventualities must be con- sidered as a consequence of the prospective collapse of Austria, William said in part. “They are, first, an attempt on the part of the Austrian provinces to join Germany: second, partition of the Austrian provinces among the adjoining states, not excluding Germany, and. third, a communist or bolshevist reign of terror. It has been stated that before giv- ing up in despair the Austrian gov- ernment will request the council of the league of natfons. under article 80 of the treaty of Versailles, to per- mit a union with Germany. My opin- ion, however, is that Germany can- not feed the whole of Austria; but apart from that question, it is to me unthinkable that the allies could per- mit Germany to extend her empire to the borders of the Adriatic, with her frontiers in the rear of Czecho- slovakia and on the flanks of Hun- gary, Jugoslavia and Italy The disappearance of a regular gov- ernment in Austria, in the opinion of Sir William, will sow the seeds of more wars between the countries lar or irregular, would advance upon Vienna on the pretense of preventing the ancient capital falling into the hands of the Czechs. In that case no one in Austria would be surprised if the Czechs attempted by force to forestall the occupation of Vienna. Jugoslavia, under its recent defensive alliance with Czechoslovakia, might then decide to attack Hungary. The destiny of the provinces of St. Yria, Tower Austria, Upper Austria and | Carinthia would then be the melting pot of a war of repartition from which it might be difficult for the greater powers to abstai BERLIN IS EXERCISED- BY EMIGRATION PLANS Those Leaving Germany Are From Best Class of Citizens, While Reds Remain. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, January 15.—German emi- gration to Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and the United States during the first of 1920 reached 6,010, {grants during the previous year, but ia bare fraction of the number Ger- man economists and investigators predicted would emigrat Estimates are still being made that 5,000,000 Germans are preparing to depart, dependent, however, upon their raising the money for tran: portation. Most of the emigrants, it is_reported, will head for Brazil, which is offering inducements for colonization purposes. The imperial immigration board has instituted a series of lectures to inform prospective emigrants of South American conditions in detail. The first of these lectures was given at Hamburg last night to 400 men who expect to locate in Brazil. Official circles in Berlin apparently are much exercised over the class of persons leaving the country. The head of the imperial office said: “Those leaving are from our best class of citizens; the bolshevists, very poor and utra radicals are re- maining with us. Economic cond tions are forcing this situation.” The immigration officials have begun the preparation of a new law |in response to demands for the regu- {lation of the outgoing tide which, in | view of the character of the em igrants, some authorities, including Dr. Max Hirsch, believe “eventually will result in a weakened, probably an anaemic, German race, and im- paired German culture.” State aid has been suggested for the better classes who have sufferes most by the economic condition, the state improvement of arid lands, which, if irrigated or drained. it is estimate would support 10,000,000 additional farmers. The provisions being drafted in the new law are not known. ————— DISTURBANCES IN INDIA QUELLED AND NINE SLAIN Order Restored Southwest of Luck- now—Nearly All Those Arrested Are Released by Authorities.

Execution of Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg Explained. Cross-Atlantic Cable Service to The Star. BERLIN, January 15.—The real story of tne execution of Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg has just been told. Hausse von Tyszka, who arrest- ea them in the offices of the Red Flag, told it as a witness in the case of Scheidemann vs. H. Prinz. He testified that Scheidemann per- sonally issued the order for the exe- cution of the two revolutionaries. In December, 1918, .the order had been given to the red guards to arrest and execute ‘the two, and a. reward of 10,000 marks and a passport to Hol- land had been promised the one who met the order. RED-PERSIAN PACT NEAR. Virtual Recognition of Soviet Prin- ciples Is Provided For. LONDON. January 15.—An agree- ment is under discussion between the Russian bolsheviki and Persia, by which virtual recognition of the soviet principle by Persia would be admitted, according | to an authoritative statement made here today The soviet government agrees to can- cel all of Persia’s debts to Russia, re- nounce concessions regarding Persian roads, railways and lands and also com- pensate Persia for the bolshevik inva- sion.

RIOTERS DENOUNCE it n xtated. is | £ the the | d Mob in Front of Vienna City Hall Shouts for a World Revoluiion. By Cable to The Copyright, 1 VIENNA. Austria, January 1 ally the communist or radical socialist demonstrations in Vienna are conducted in an orderly manner without rioting. The most recent one failed to observe this custom despite the warnings of the Red Flag, the communist newspaper which served as the medium for calling the demonstration. Both the social demo- crats and the communists are opposed to the Christian soc who are in charge of the government. At the same time the social democrats and the com- munists are opposed to each other and hence there is nothing ex ical unity in Austria. Communists Oppose The communi dopted the | position that they a from taxes and the cemonstration was called to protest against the govern- | ment’s effort to collect taxes from the workers, who 'arc about ithe only persons in_Austria, ou e wh have money. One suggesti that incomes under 60,000 crowns (norma $12,000) should be free of the taxes. Un- der this arrangement, as the Red Flag points out, workers earning above 1,300 crowns weekly ($360) would have to pay taves. “Each increase of wages,” it is said, “would mean more taxes.” There was no suggestion whence the government should obtain its revenues. The communists figure that they do not want a_Chritian social government, and hence should not pay taxes, little realiz- ing that a financially stable Austria would mean wages with purchasing value. Flery Speeches Delivered. About 5,000 demonstrators gathered before the city hall and listened to fiery speeches full of “Down with a forced tax! Hang the profitee Hurrah for the world revolution and so on. A resolution to fizht the tax to the end was carried by accla- mation. Then the demonstrator: formed in line and marched along the Ring boulevard past the parliament | building, where cordons of police in | spick and span uniforms gave a Te- | heartening impression of order and common sense. In the center of the city before the ! hotels the crowd became boisterous, | howling and shouting “Hang the shiebe for the hotels are supposed to house the men who are instru- mental in raising prices. Some win- dows were broken by stones thrown from slingshots. Certain elements in the crowd were apparently bent upon pillage, for an attempt was made to traverse the ishop district, where the lights were quickly put out and the window fronts were shuttered. but the column turned back to the boulevard. Trying to Effect General Strike. The communists are trying to in- fluence the railroad and postal em: ployes to join in a general strike if the tax law is enforced. The impres- sion is that most of the workers are forced into these demonstrations by a system which agitators have estab- lished. Indeed, many of them dropp. out of the parade when near their | home The Christian socialist goveryment facing a cri which will 'y its § weak strength to the utmost. but it | will hardly dare to surrender to the | workmen and admit its inability to collect taxes.
