Vienna, Mar. 12. Secking, some three months after her liberation from 17 years of occupation to discover some indication of Austria's probable line of development-as-a-neutral state, observers here-are- noting that the events in those months which have most roused the people of Austria to rejoicing' and enthusiasm, have all been cultural ones.

Foremost among them was the reopening, on November 5, of the Vienna State Opera House, which was gutted by fire and bombs in the last days of the war in 1945. It took ten years and a tremendous amount of money and devotion, to secure its rebuilding, with complete faithfulness to the old plan, during the occupation years.

Perhaps the most important act in foreign affairs in perlod Was the visit, on Aus- Arian_Invitation, of De Heinrich von Brentano, the West German Foreign Minister. Ho was royally entertained in Vienna and his visit resulted in the con- clusion of an agreement between West Cermany and Austria which should end their former strained relations and lead to a firm friendship.

Shown' Determination

In the same period, a number of agreements have been signed also with Russia and the Eastern bloc states, mostly of an economic nature.

Austria has thus shown her determination to use her neutral position to act as a go-between

And to the Danube once again, a great International waterway.

Another sign of her new won freedom has been the conclusion of a series of air agreements. Vienna promises, as a result, to become an international air centre of great importance as she is one of the few cities from which lines operato not only to the west of Europe but also to the cast,

The two parties are of almost exactly equal strengin in the country and while they present a soild front in Parliament, they. fight one another constantly in the corridors and in their party press.

Coalition,

From the preliminary survey of Austrian activity since the end of the occupation, it would appear, therefore, that in future Austrin will strive to regain that domination in cultural matters which was here in the days of the old Austro-Hungarian Em- pire.

In International Affairs, her role may well be, while rotain- ing her neutrality, to not as a bridge between East and West |both economically ma politi-
