AUSTRIAN PREMIER
INDUSTRIAL LEADER
Gave Up Military Career to
Follow Father as
Manufacturer.
Cpertef Dl.fpMt h to The Slur.
VIENKA, May 25—Modern methods
of production, rationalization and effi
ciency played a (treat role In the jlfe
of Austria's new chancellor. Ernst
Streeruwitz. Unlike his predecessor.
Mgr. Ignaz Seipcl. papal prelate, who
was a professor of theology before he
entered the adrna of public life, the
present prime minister of the Austrian
Repubhr has never led the quiet life
of a scholar. Hr is a man of practical
experience, and Jong before he ap
peared on the political stage he was
an Industrial lead'r and successful
organizer.
Ernst Streeruwitz was born on Sep
tember 23. 1874. the son of a textile
manufacturer and Deputy to the old
Austrian Parliament. Georg Adolf Ritter
von Streeruwitz. at Mies, in Engerland.
which now* belongs to Czechoslovakia.
Chose Military Career.
Like many sops of the wealthy patri
ciate of the monarchy, he chose a mili
tary career, and after having passed
through the military academy of Wiener-
Npustadt obtained an officer s commis
sion in a smart cavalry regiment. But
military life did not seem to agree long
wij.li his independent character.
After foiif jjeais of active service he
lett. the army and resumed his studies
at the technical college and the Uni
versity of Vienna to become a textile
manufacturer like his father. He was
intrpsted with t lie management of
various textile factories, and when war
broke out h" rejoined his former regi
ment and went to the front. But his
superiors thought that he could do more
important work than fighting, and soon
called him back to Vienna to carry out
difficult organizing tasks.
After the armistice he resumed his
former profession and again held lead
ing positions in the commercial world.
He became vice president of the Cham
ber of Commerce in Vienna, head of
the employers' association of the Nether
austrian textile industry and of the
organization of Austrian cotton printers,
member of the committee for ration
alization and vice president of the In
dustrial Club. There are few commer
cial and industrial corporations in this
country in which his name does not
figure.
Worked 16 Hour* a Ray.
Mr. Sterruwitz never believed in the
eight-hour day for himself, although
he advocated It for his workers. Six
teen hours of work and eight hours of
sleep, with now and then an hour or
two set aside for recreation enabled him
to do constructive work wherever he was
placed. , ,
In 1923 Mr. Streeruwitz was elected
to Parliament on the Christian social
list. The biggest political party of Aus
tria had invited him to join its ranks
because it wanted a man with so much
practical experience in economic mat
ters to help solve the complicated in
dustrial and financial problems of the
reconstructed period.
M. Streeruwitz soon became a mem
ber of all the more important parlia
mentary committees. In 1924 he was
appointed curator of the Netheraus
trian Land Mortgage Bank, which was
then in a precarious state, and he suc
cessfully reorganized the agricultural
credit system on a sound basts and de- +
veloped the bank into a powerful insti
tution.
Supervised Bank Liquidation.
When as a result of. the inflation era
the Central Bank in Vienna broke down
M. Streeruwite, was among the govern- |
ment delegates who supervised the
liquidation. t>ne of hts greatest achieve
ments is the economic reorganization of
Burgenland. a former Hungarian prov
ince. which was handed over to Austria
in the peace treaty of Trianon. j
Mr. Streeruwitz has never ben much
Interested in the petty quarrels of daily
party strife, as all his energy has been
absorbed by questions of economy. As
the Austrian Republic is again to make
delicate decisions of an economic na
ture, the choice of the new chancellor
can be termed as a particularly lucky
one. for there are few persons in the
public life of this country w’ho are as
competent economists as he. The most
serious task awaiting Mr. Streeruwitz Is
the reform of; the house rent restriction
law, the last remnant of public inter
ference with private property inherited '
from the war times,
Mr. Stremtwitz is married to the
daughter of an industrialist and Is tbs .
father of four children.
