—The
Allies
are
un-
derstnod
to be considering
another
effort
to save
Austria
by a floating loan equiva-
lent
to
£50,000,000,
as
p oposed
by
the
Austrian
section
of the
reparations
com-
mission.
This
sum
the
experts
estimate
will be
sufficient to enable
the.country
to
put its indusiries
ro work,
and gradually
become
self-supporting.
France
is
in
favour
of this project,
but
is unable
to
furnish
the funds
herself.
In
a
state
ment
t)day
regarding
the
situation
in
Austria,
Baron Eichoff,
Austrian
Minis-
ter
to France,
said the prospective
resig®
nation
of
the
conservative
ministry
of
Chancellor
Mayer,
which
is expected
at
any
time,
in
the
opinion
of
Austrians
here.
Leave
the
country
in
a state
of
political
chaos.
No
party
is
ready
to
assume
responsibility
for governing
the
nation
without
money
even
to
pay
the
clerks
in
the
different
departments.
‘‘Austria
will not
declare
bankruptey”’,
said
Baron
Eichoff,
‘‘because
she
does
not,
like a bankrupt,
want
to wipe
the
slate,
pay
what
she
had
in sight,
and
start
a
new deal.
Austria
wants
to
pay
all she
owes,
but she
simply cannot
do it
now.
She
cannet
even
pay
her running
expenses.
What
wlll
happen
is
that
the Govt
machine
will simply stop
from
lack
of
of propulSion’’.
The Socialists
have
declared they will not accept

er.

°‘ The

said
Baron
Eichoff.
'‘Her
