As the author write this article, Austria is tensely awaiting Signor Mussolini's promised reply to the revelations by Austrian deputies of the state of affairs in South Tyrol. There has never, of course, been any suggestion that Austria could take any action to relieve the 250,000 German-Austrians who are suffering under the forcible attempts to deprive them of their national language, religion, and characteristics generally.
