Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Year-Book of Austria, 1920: From Official Sources, Second Series The treaty of peace of St. Germain was signed September 10, approved by the National Assembly October 17, ratified by the President October 25 and came into force July 6, 1920. The peace had created a small helpless state, dispossessed of its most important industrial territories, unable to satisfy even its most urgents wants of life, almost without coal-fields, without raw materials, but with the Metropolis of a vast Empire and with an unnumerable host of functionaries and civil-servants, economically dependent from ill-disposed neighbours, crammed with public debts, inherited from the ancient Monarchy, and, above all, forced to assume all the unbearable burdens, imposed by the treaty. There were only two hopes: the chance of an efficacious help by the Entente for the economic reconstruction, repeatedly and solemnly promised, or the permission to enter in the pale of the great German Mother-country. Those hopes encouraged the two political parties, the Social-Democrats and the Christian-Socialists, to ratify the treaty of peace in the National-Assembly. This having done, the two parties formed a coalition for the purpose to save the country from the imminent danger of despair and starvation. The first duty proclaimed by all parties in the Parliament was to gain the confidence of the world abroad, especially of the adversaries of the immediate past, by fulfilling loyally, as far as possible, the stipulations of the treaty of peace. The National Assembly hastened to carry into execution its essential provisions, most of them even before the ratification by the co-signatories. Besides the manifold tasks resulting from the treaty of peace, as: surrender of the military effects, disbandment of the Militia and establishment of a new army of mercenaries, there was also other most urgent and difficult business at hand.
