DANUBIAN STATES
THE NEED OF FEDERATION.
If material proof for the contention of the great Czech historian, Frantisek Palacky, were necessary—that the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, if nonexistent, would have to be created — Hitler has furnished that proof, writes the exiled German journalist, Dr. Edgar Stern-Rubarth, in Wiorld Review. Having defeated Mussolini in a long fight for the domination of its core, Austria, Hitler set out to reestablish that Empire —as a dominion of his own Reich. For the moment, and by virtue of his military and politicaf occupation, he rules in Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Bucharest, and even in Warsaw; only Belgrade unexpectedly refused to bow to his concept of a Prussianised Danubian realm. By contributing to the wiping out of many traditional conflicts and rivalries, ho may bring the chequered nations once united under the Habsburg double eagle to a renewed sense of unity when his downfall opens the way for reconstruction. Wiser, and let us hope more European-minded, peoples will emerge from the flood of tears and blood. If they remember _ the dictum of that far-seeing Slavonic historian, will they grasp the purport of the oldnew slogan of federation?
