AUSTRIAN FINANCE | INDESPERATE FASE New Reactionary - Cabinet Faces Worst Economic Con- dition Due to Vast Inflation. VIENNA, June 12—With the Chris- tian socialist-pan-German coalition mintstry formed in succession to the Schober non-partisan, bureaucratic cabinet which fell recently, Austria has entered upon another experiment in government. Ministry has succeeded ministry since the social democratic majority was overthrown in the elections two vears ago and left no party with a working majority in the national as- sembly. BEach. has assumed office un- der greater difficulties than {ts pred- ecessor. Despite the superficial bet- terment in living conditions, due to widely bestowed charities and foreign credits, sufficent at least for food, and the fact that the cnnsxnlrx|l_\'u;l:l~ reciating, money increases in quan- Pt and Still has internal purchasing power, this new ministry faces an actual ‘economic and financial situa- tion conceded to be worse than has hitherto existed. When the Seipl government took office the krone was 11,300 to one dollar. It is stated that the recent| British credit was virtually used up in an effort to stabilize the currency. For two months this policy succeeded in holding the krome around 7.500 to the dollar, but recently ‘the dam broke and it fell at the rate of 1,000 kronen a day. Higher Pay Demanded. Prices of necessities have risen to world parity and above, and the new municipal socialist rental tax, while vielding the landlord. nothing, has increased rents enormously. This tax goes to the clty for a building and repair fund for the amelioration of housing conditions. The consequence has been the nat- ural one of demands for higher pay by all classes, from government em- ployees to unskilled labor. The re-; cent Schober government granted the enormously increased demands of the civil servants and met them, together with other obligations, by means of the money printing presses, until the currency circulation has reached the astounding total of ‘over 420,000,000,000. Industrial employers, however, have. offered resistance and in instances affecting some 200,000 employes they have denounced exiSting wage agree- ments. The issue has become a sharp one. So far the labor unions have shown a moderate and conclllatory Spirit and have avoided an open break. Employers claim they longer manufacture for export in competition with Germany, Wwhere cages and living are far lower than Austria, even on a gold basis. The instability of the krone, fts wide and sudden fluctuations, also make it im- possible, they say, to deal in future contracts. - Export is practically at a standstill and there is wide unem- ployment. Soctalists in Minority. This 1s the situation which con: fronts the bourgeols ministry of Monsignor Seipi, by far the most re- actionary in its make-up that the republic has had. The new chancel- lor is'a cleric and considered one of the cleverest politicians in the| country. The Christian soclalist-Pangerman ccmbination_ throws the soclalists | into' a_hopeless minority in the na- tional assembly and it fs very freely predicted that the new. conservative coulition will undertake to wipe from the statutes many of the laws placed there by the socialists when they were in control. The socialists still have ode weapon, however, in the fact:that financial legislation requires a two-thirds vote of the assembly, which the coalition cannot muster. The Pangermans have made it dis- tinctly understood that the work- ing agreement with the Christian socialists .must terminate with the zenerally belleved imminent elections. At the same time they have not abandoned the slogan of fusion with Geormany. In a recent speech their president, Dr. Dinghoeffer, emphasized the statement that the absence of any clause in the Austro-American peace treaty stipulating that Austria romain an imlependent state was a “great and joyous asset.” DENBY WELCOMED | 10 JAPAN TODAY| Naval Transport Bearing Class of 1881 to Dock at Yokohama.

Sun at Hottest And Rainr Dries Air, Says Expert ministered by Cools Earth | Paradoxes Explm'r'mi in Annual Repofi of Smithsonian Institation By Dr. W. J. Humphreys, Who Refutes ! Many LQng-Enlablixlled ldea-._ - A rainstorm dries the -air; more 8oes up than comes down: as the sun sets the air grows .warmer; -the hot- ter “the sun grows the colder the earth becomes: .the sun rises belore it is up and sets after it is down. These are strong statements, bat all true. Dr. W. J. Humphreys, quoted in the annual report of the Smith- sonian Institution, which has just been made public. explains =all of They are " perfectly - well known to scientists, if not to lay- men. As every one knows,-Dr. Humphreys declares, water evaporates and is'taken up in the air as vapor. This action.is continuous all over the earth and the atmosphere would soon. become very: soggy if it weren’t.dried out. Rain is the collection, or condensation, and -pre- cipltation of these' molsture particles, consequently, the more it rains the less water there is left ‘In the atmosphere, or_the drier the air becomes. The sécond of Dr. Humphreys' para- doxes seems flatly to contradict the old saying ‘““Whatever goes up . must come down.” However, as the writer expresses it, vertical circulation In the atmosphere Is only gravitational | action, consisting In. the sinking of relatively cold- and “therefore dense air, and rising of warm and light air. Contracted air-descends, expanded air ascends. Therefore, mass- for mass, the volume of aseending air-is'always larger:than that descending. In terms of mass; also, Dr. Humphreys sayy, descending air is less than ascending, for air while rising contains immense quantities of water In suspension, which_does not return to earth with that air but as rain, hall or snow. The | ain that rises from the land surface is greater in mass by at least 20,000,- 000 tons per second, the measure of world precipitation, than that which deacends, he says. © NS Absorption of Heat. The third paradox is merely a way of stating that the warmest part of the day is not at noon, when - the sun is ‘at meridian or overhead and should seemingly be pouring down greater heat, but several hours later in the afternoon. That is because the surface of the -earth and the lower layers of air continue to absorb more heat from the upper layers for some time after .the latter have been re- cefving the maximum amount of heat radiation from the sun. While it is not yet universally con- ceded .that.the .next’ puzaler, “the hotter ‘the sun,:the colder the earth,” really fs true, Dr. Humphreys states, the’ evidence in favér of it is already very strong.. There are .several ex- planations offered.. The first is that increased radiation ~from. the sun causes earth's air currents to flow more rapfdly, bringing down a great- er quantity of cooler air from high latitudes to lower. He rejects this explanation, however. The temperature of the sun _itself varies- and sun spots are eruptions caused by heat activity. It is known, he continues, that earth’s temperature varies with spot activity; that the more spote there are on the sun, the cooler the earth temperature becomes, and vice versa. Also, that the sun’s corona is in large measure only so much dust, and must._interfere with passage of radia- tion through it. Hence: Hotter sun— more spots; more spots—denser corona ; dense corona—Iless radiation received on the earth and warmer climate ensues. Another explanation is the heat: absorbing quality-of ozone, which ex- ists in greater quantity in the upper | air. He concludes that the denser corona stops passage of some per | cent-of the ultra-violet rays, some of which, acting on.cold, dry oxygen in the upper strata, form ozone. In times of maximum spots there must, then, be less ozone. But ozone al sorbs a.great amount of earth radlac tion, therefore, if the earth should be ‘redeiving an- increased amount of heat at this time-it might, neverthe- less, grow colder because of the co- incident “deplétion of the heat-conr serving ozone blanket. It is also said that cirrus cloud or cirrus haze Is meore generally prevalent in earth’s; agmosphere during spot activity, and; this blanket of cloud shuts out some of the solar radlation. Heat Reaching Withers. The ‘reverfe paradox, then, which is also found to be true, may be & counted for In_the same. way. The !sun's atmasphere: is clearer during spot minithum and although the may actually be less heat comin from the sun a larger percentage allowed to reach the earth throu the thinner blankets. i ® The paradox of the sun rising be- fore it is actually up and setting after It actually has gone down, is e plained by the sending of light wav When passing through . the alr. stick when placed in clear wat seems to bend; a light ray when se through the air does sctually bend. } The rays from the rising sun are bent when they strike the air e; velope. <This angle varles accordin to well known laws, but on the ave: age the light from the sun is.be thirty-four and one-half seconds of a degree, 0 that the upper.limb of the sun when first seen is actually half 8 ( dogree below the horizon. - As the angular dlameter of either sun, moon or star Is less than-this fraction, it follows that when the sky Is suffi- clently clear the whole of either may be seon before even its topmost por- tion Is geometrically above the hori- zon While the revérse s not absolutely correct astronamically, it when sun, star-or moon set, because of the -slight modification of refrac- tion due to earth rotations, neverthe- less the difference is exceedingly slight.

SOF{A; Bulgaria, June 11:'—The keynote of the congress of peasants, held in Sofia this month, was its hos- tility ‘to 'the bourgeoise, to the profiteers and to the commercial class generally, and its most striking sin- sle incident doubtless was: the re- markable speech of Premier Stam- to Boris, the young Kking. The premier was clear, ‘forceful and convincing and spoke with an amaz- ing_frankness. Z ou shall reign, but you shall not govern,” he said to his sovereign. “The people Wwill never become a party of the palace. We will tolerate a king following the dan- gerous paths of former sovereigns. Sire, you shall reign so long as you have ‘the confidence and_ support of the majority of the peoplé, who could elect you as president of the republic. Sire, we do not treat you like.the former sovereigns -of old Bulgaria, But as the monarch of new Bulgaria, which knows only the national sov- ereignty. From this day there be- gins the government of the farmers, who have been obliged down to the present to wage a war to the death against enemles from within and without. Sofia is our worst enemy. It is the center of the merchants and the headquarters of the parties which have for us implacable hatred.” On another occasion Stamboulisky, the vigorous statesman, farmer and reformer, told. the congress that Bulgaria would establish a republic with King Boris as its president if the intellectual classes attempted to seize the reins of government. His words were received with volleys of applause. 3 The fact is that Bulgaria today is in a transitional stage from a mon- archy to a sort of socialized repub- lic. “The country is ruled entirely by farmers. With one or two ex- ceptions, the entire cabinet is com- posed of peasants and schoolmasters. he king is a negligible quantity. Stamboulisky exercises the powers of a dictator., His attitude toward the king 1s like that of a stern father toward a zealous son. But he is very fond of the young monarch, and many Bulgarians believe that if he is able to retain office he will carry out his ldea of making Boris the first president of the Bulgarian re- public. * 1.
