VIENNA. Dec. 17 The Soc'allx's
made a decided gain m the recent.
election of members to the Natftmal
Assembly. They lent but one scat.
while the Conservative nartfes lost
seventeen. This usscmhiy has IS few
er members than the last one. It u
held in somc quarters that the So
cialist success was lareelv due to or
gahization; thev not cut thnr vote
while the Conservatives did not.
The result is a koyi. disappoint
ment to the Scipl government. The
chancellor's success in gaining the
League of Nations loan which vir
tually saved the country from disrup
tion and possible partition; the gen-
eral revival of buainetf and the bet-
terment of conditions in all classes
had been thought to insure a decided
conservative majority. . As i.t is the
