"FEAR AND SUSPICION"
r LIFE IN CENTRAL EUROPE VISITOR'S GLOOMY PICTURE [by telegraph OWN correspondent] CHKISTCHURCH. Thursday A gloomy picture of conditions in Central Europe was painted in. an interview to-day by Mr. D. Roland, of Christchurch, who has just returned after a visit of over two years to the Continent, during which he visited Austria,. Hungary, Rumania, Jugoslavia, Czecho-Slovakia and Germany. In the last 35 years Mr. Roland, whose home is in New Zealand, has travelled round the world 12 times and has spent many years in Central Europe. He was born in Hungary and speaks five languages. "Fear and suspicion are rampant everywhere," he said. "Not only between nations, but also between individuals. It is worst of all in Vienna since the troubles'there. jYou dare not talk to anyone in the street whom you do not know well." Living in Austria is extravagantly expensive, according to Mr. Roland, being at' least three times as costly as in Now Zealand. In agrarian countries, such as Hungary, Jugo-Slavia, Rumania and Bulgaria, the situation is reversed. Generally, the situation of the great mass of the people of Central Europe was actually worse than it was during the war.
