AUSTRIAN ELECTIONS
CHRISTIAN SOCIALIST VICTORY. A SAFE WORKING MAJORITY. Prcoa Association —ttf .Telegraph— Copyrigni LONDON, October 23. (Received Oct. 23, at 7.40 p.m.) The Exchange Telegraph Agency’s Vienna correspondent says it is estimated that the new Austrian Assembly will consist of 82 Christian Socialists, 16 Gorman Nationalists, and 67 Socialists. Thus Dr Sejpel (Chancellor in the last Parliament) will have a safe working majority of 98 against 67. The Morning Post says that Dr Seipel’s Christian Socialist Party continues to be a very strong political factor. It has a majority strong enough to secure stability in the present policy of economic reconstruction. The Democratic Party, which Count Cfeornim represented, has been annihilated. The Communist list is also so small that it is evident that Bolshevism has no real role in Austria.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
The elections for the first National Constitutional Assembly of Austria which were held in October, 1920, resulted as follows: Christian Socialists, 82; Social Democrats, 66; German Nationalists, 20; Peasants’ Party, 6; Workers’ Party, 1.
