was cede to Austria.  The city of Sopron, after a plebiscite, was

THe area od the Burgenland is 1,532 sqare miles.  Its population was   
about 300,000 (1934), of which 80 percent was German-speaking, 14   
percent Croat-speaking, and 4 percent Magyar-speaking.  The project of   
a "Slavic Corridor" connecting Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia through   
 the Burgenland was proposed in 1919 and might be revived.  
 
                                                            
 
 
32. AUSTRIA-CZECHOSLOVAK FRONTIER ZONE.--Austria, when restored to   
independence, may make a claim to a rectification of its frontier with   
Czechoslovakia.  There has been no indication that such a claim would   
extend to all Cezechoslovak territory adjacent to the Austrian frontier   
annexed by Germany in September 1938.  More probably it would involve   
only small area in the vicinity of Gmund and Feldsberg.  This territory   
is about 70 square miles in area and its population is overwhelmingly   
                      German-speaking.

of St. Germain, September 10, 1919.  It was divided between   
Czechoslovakia and Poland by the Confernence of Ambassadors, on July 28,   
1920.  Part of the area awarded to Czechoslavakia was ceded to Poland in   
    1938 and is now in dispute between these two states.    
 
                                                            
 
 
The disputed territory totals 335 sqaure miles in area.  According to the   
cenus of 1930, the total population of the district was 231,784.  The   
Poles numbered 76,267 (33 percent); the Czechoslavaks, 124,579 (54   
percent); and the Germans, 17,198 (7 percent).  The area is especially   
  important as an industrial region for steel manufacture.
