...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.

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...
...Mussolini wants to be friendly towards Hitler, and at the same time he wants to prevent Hitler from annexing Austria. he has helped as best he can both Hitler and Starhemberg to gain control of Germany and Austria respectively. And now he awaits the results of the victories of his proteges. He is like a cat who has given berths to two tigers...
