a real recovery’ from World War I.
The more total World War II thus
has given little Austria a terrific
blow although the actual physical
destruction was not as great as in
Germany. For instance, Vienna was
only 25 per cent destroyed compared
to approximately 80 per cent for
Frankfurt and Munich. However,
the road ahead will be very difficult
because of her langer background of
suffering and the fact that her re
sources are not as great as Ger-

Many Operas
and
Plays
An amazing array of operas, con
certs and plays are presented night
ly to the crestfallen Viennese. With
the exception of one summer month
invariably there are two operas, sev
eral major concerts, several operet
tas and about a dozen plays present
ed every evening.
The opera has made an amazing
comeback and is without doubt right
at the top in Europe. The settings
and costuming in spite of shortages
are very cleverly and beautifully
worked out.
Certainly a much higher percent
age of the “common people” attend
operas and concerts here than in
America because of the quantity’ of
fered and the fact that prices are
comparatively not so high. If one
were to look at this side of Viennese
life, one would include that life in
defeated Europe is not so bad but
actually it is a matter of “whistling

By and large one would observe
that the Russians are not popular
in Vienna. The Viennese as yet
have not orgotten how in the first
days of the fall of Vienna the Rus
sians looted, raped and sacked the
city quite thoroughly. However, the

A Baptist clergyman tells how he
put Russian Testaments on sale in
a public bath frequented by Rus
sians, and also in a bookstore. He
reported that the Bibles were taken
with such great eagerness by them
that many of them left substantial
sums of money for the Bibles. These
incidents would certainly indicate
that the common Russian has a feel
ing of insecurity and unhappiness,
and at the same time a sense of the
religious. Unfortunately it seems
that only by subtle behind-the-scene
manipulations can one get next to
the Russians—and then only through
the written word.
Russians Control Oil Fields
Politically speaking it appears
that the Russians are in no hurry
to leave Austria. The rich oil fields
and large industrial districts of Aus
tria are all in the Russian zone. The
Russians have been interpreting these
valuable holdings very broadly as be
