AUSTRIA IN A BAD WAY.

APPELLANT IN PARIS..

PARIS, December 11.

The Austrian chancellor Renner has arrived and been interviewed by Reuter. He said the object of his visit was to represent to the Supreme Coun- cil Austria's desperate condition. He depicted the conditions as very bad and emphasised the absolute necessity of a month's supply of grain by the beginning of January. There was only six days stock of ficur at present available. Vienna was in even worse straits, being wholly dependent on imported foodstuffs. He emphasised the impossibility to buy grain abroad, owing to the unprecedentedly low value of Austrian money. Herr Renner believed it to be essential that Austria should be granted long term credits until next October, in order to secure £25,000,000 worth of food; also further credits for raw materials, and the modification of the Saint Germain treaty in order that mortgaged property could be otherwise hypothecated.

It is proposed to provide eight squad- rona for India, and three for Mesopo tamis. It is hoped that the aerial units of the future can be used to partly sub- stitute military gurrisona.

Egypt is described as the Clapham Junction of the Air Service between the East
