Vienna. Feb. 10. Foreign Press reports forecasting a Customs Union between Italy, Hungary and Austria as a result of the projected meeting in Rome between Mussolini, Goemboes, and much scepticism, It being pointed out that Dolfuss during his recent visit to Budapest had taken bcca- slon to express his misgivings as to the practicability of such scheme in view of the fact that Italy was not in a position to offer Austria
