Bright spot in tragedy of Austria cited by Seitz
Karl Seitz leader of the German Socialists in Austria and president of the National Assembly says the only bright spot in Austria’s tragedy is its release from Hapsburg autocracy. He argues German Austria faced brutal military rule, opposes Bolshevism, and notes federation with former Austria-Hungary is impractical due to clashes with Czechs and logistics. He warns of food, capital shortages and reliance on Entente loans for the republic. He also says Entente troops faced no hostilities from German Austria and that locals harbor no hatred for England France or America.
