To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hoover undertaken to supply grain enough to continue the present exiguous ration of bread? That is true, but on the other hand Vienna is about, to enter on a period of meatless weeks. The Tchecho- Slovaks have now been shamed into al- lowing coal for Vienna to cross their railways. The fact remains that German-Austria cannot buy, for it has nothing to export. It lived on the coal of Bohemia, the wheat of Croatia and the meat of Hungary, and now it stands alone. For the factories and metal works... of Vienna there is neither raw material nor market. It used to live 46 ACROSS THE BLOCKADE by exchange with all the Hapsburg Dominions. Its territory for supply and demand is now shrunken to a fraction. Until the blockade is raised, no commerce can begin, and even then, until a substantial foreign loan permits the resto- ration of the worthless paper-currency, it is idle to talk of foreign trade. Is the popular saying true, that the nation was guiltless of the war? Perhaps there was a mad week or two, which all would now forget, when the Viennese middle-class crowd, well-fed, well- dressed, and gay as was its wont, cheered the troops departing for the front.
