Abstract

During the rise of the political »new course« in Dalmatia from 1906 to 1907 multiannual program involving the advancement of the economy in the province was published by the Vienna Government. This was an attempt to Split the anti-Austrian opposition. That Government action (called after the then Premier Minister, the »Beck Program«) had primarily political aims and no significant economic benefit could the province wxpect from it.
A special Government commission was nominated with the task to study the difficult problem of socio-economic relations in the province, owing to the growing movement of smail farmers in Split and its neighbourhood in 1908-1909 against the antiquated land lease system, but no importat interventions were made during the Austrian rule. Among the other measures concerning the economic life in Dalmatia, which were contemplated by the Government Commission, were particularly those involving the promotion of tourism. The limited pecuniary resources, however, rendered impossible the realization of a series of projects.
Basing on the material from various Austrian Ministries, kept by the General Administrative Archives in Vienna, the author gives an account of the characteristic of the Government action on behalf of Dalmatia and of the activity of the said commission.
