...desire to support either Dollfuss or the Nazis, both of whom they agree with. The clerics have waged a long and bitter fight against the steady rise of Marxism, with especial success among the doltish peasantry. As was pointed out by me last week, the Marxian socialist party, long Austria's most powerful party, is now practically dead. The man who did this was Engelbert Dollfuss, the party who made him was the Christian Socialist Party. This was publicly symbolized in the great "Catholic Day" held last summer, at which Dr. Dollfuss was openly honored by the Church...

She writes cryptic notes with invisible ink; she is always just about to cross the border; she sees the dirty fingernails of a Russian soldier with black circles...
...Austrian Socialist Party has been reduced from the most powerful party in the country to prostrate nullity and will proceed to disintegrate peacefully, or if necessary, forcefully since Dr. Dollfuss is now in a position to use force. The fact that many of the Socialists in Austria could be so blind as to join the Nazis merely indicates the dazed stupefaction of a working class movement which dreamed a beautiful dream--but suddenly woke up to face the bared teeth of an angered capitalism...
