VIENNA (NC) — Disagree
ment over Church-State rela
tions was cited as a major cause
leading to the break-up of the
coalition that has governed Aus
tria since the end of World War
II.
The coalition included the
Catholic-oriented People’s par
ty and the Socialists, the na
tion’s two largest political
groups.
Chancellor Julius Raab of the
People’s party took the initia
tive in ending the coalition, ac
cusing the Socialists of block
ing needed legislation. Both par
ties of the coaliton have now
agreed on Parliament’s dissolu
tion of new elections, scheduled
for May 10.
In addition to Church-State
relations, other points of con
flict between the People’s party
and the Socialists include pub
lic housing legislation, tax re
lief for small businesses, sales
of stock by nationalized indus
tries and implementation of a
memorandum settling a dispute
with U. S. oil companies.
These were cited by Chancel
lor Raab in a report to the na
tional committee of the People’s
party.
Major religious issues involve
the Austrian concordat with the
Holy See and the restitution of
Church property.
The Church property includes
real estate and funds for the
maintenance of the clergy and
various Church institutions con
fiscated by the Germans during
the nazi occupation of Austria.
The concordat question, long
a touchy one in Austrian poli
tics, has been deadlocked for
several months. The treaty, en
tered into by the Holy See and

Austria during the regime of
Engelbert Dollfuss, was repudi
ated by the nazis when they
took over Austria in 1938.
When Austria regained her
independence, the Socialist par
ty held that the Dollfus govern
ment was “illegal” and that the
treaty provisions affecting
Church-state relations inside
Austria were invalid.
The People’s party, on the
other hand, held that the con
cordat was valid because it was
signed by two internationally
recognized governments.
After long negotiations the
two parties agreed last year to
accept the treaty’s validity. The
government, however, informed
the Holy See that it could not
be enforced because certain of
its provisions are incompatible
with present Austrian law and
suggested the negotiation of a
new concordat.
The Holy See replied by criti
cizing the Austrian attitude of
admitting the concordat’s vali
dity, but failing to enforce it,
as incompatible with logic and
honest dealing. The Vatican
note indicated that the Holy See
was willing to negotiate modi
fications of the treaty, but only
after Austria had proved her
good faith by fully implement
ing it.
