Rumors are circulating through Austria that the Hapsburgs may be restored and a monster mass meeting of royalists was held in Vienna to which Chanceller Dollfuss gave his official blessing. Unfortunately, blessing his loving subjects will not be of much avail to little Dollfuss at this point; the royalist activities are not so indicative of Hapsburg as of Starhemberg strength. As might have been foreseen when Dollfusa surrendered to the Heimwher, his power is very shortly due to be curtailed and eventually to be abolished completely. Aside from the fact that the very organization of the Fascist party--which...
...fairly clearly adumbrated by the rumors which are being spread--and there is no doubt under whose auspices the spreading is being done. The main rumor has it that there may be a Hapsburg restoration; but circulating a bit more surreptitiously is another rumor, that in order to prepare Austria for the restoration, Prince Starhemberg may find it necessary to proclaim himself Regent as Admiral Horthy did in Hungary...

...just as well that Austria become part of Germany. The policies of Hitler, the militarism of Starhemberg may have their ethical faults, but they represent the tendencies of the age. It is only a pity that there are so many pied de terres pocking the map of Europe such as Belgium, Poland, and the Balkans, flints to the steel that sparks international discord into war. Liberty, equality, fraternity, are as crisp and dead as the documents which attest to their existence. Democracy was only a step on the road to efficient dictatorship, as the Swastika aptly shows. Scientific organization cannot...
