SWEEPING ITALIAN RESTORATION LESS LIKELY IN AUSTRIA STARHEMBERG AIMS AT REGENCY
“FUTURE IN HANDS OF HEIMWEHR
Vienna, To-day.
The prospect of the restoration of the Habs- burgs appears to be diminished by the report that the Fascist leader is pro-Italian. Vice-Chan- cellor Prince Starhemberg has informed his friends that he intends to become Regent of Austria
Prince Starhemberg's reported announcement coincided with a gathering of 30,000 uniformed Heimwehr from Upper Austria at Linz, at which Prince Starhemberg made a speech declaring that he felt responsible for the fate of Austria.
"Austria's future is in the hands of the Heimwehr. I com- mand you to be faithful to your supreme leader; then we shall reach our ultimate aim.”
