THE FUTURE OF AUSTRIA

SiR,—Many, I'm sure, were glad to have read Professor Hayek's and other letters on the future of Austria ; but you have done her a far greater service in your pregnant and concise article on the future of Trieste, insisting so ably that this invaluable port should be "inter- nationalised," giving free access to all the five nations concerned. Cer- tainly this would ease the lives of many thousands of people, and also remove one of the danger-spots m Europe. Tito should be restrained prom taking any part of Carinthia, as those who know the area fully could in all fairness hardly disagree. Your final sentence is admirable.— Yours faithfully, ARTHUR FENNER.
