...could have been more monstrous. In 1919 as an act of Marxist right and mass justice the Imperial and Royal House of Habsburg?they of the curling ''Habsburg lip" ?were stripped of their lands and property down to the very nightgown of fugitive Empress Zita. Spurned by a Socialist Austrian Government, which exercised mercy only in saving the Habsburgs from being butchered as the Romanovs were butchered, Little Otto's uninspiring father, Kaiser Karl, was allowed to slip away and die on the Island of Madeira. Last week the double eagle of the Habsburgs screamed again. From Vienna...

With the militarists riding high, Poland's Socialist Party appealed to all workers to stage a 24-hour general strike in protest against the new Constitution's electoral provisos which stifle Democracy. Contemptuous of the proletariat, Army bigwigs gossiped in their cafes chiefly about who is going to be elected Poland's next President. Today the candidate of the "Colonel's Clique" to succeed Scientist Moscicki as President is able, energetic, shrewd General Kazimierz Sosnkowski, close crony of Inspector General Edward Rydz-Smigly who was expected to try to repeat Marshal Pilsudski's feat...
