THE AUSTRIAN REVOLT
Sir John Simon's Statement
(Special Air Mail Service)
London, July 28.
The House of Commons was very full to-day when Sir John 'Simon answered a question about the tragic events in Austria, and showed deep feelings, capecially at the point when the Foreign Becre- tary reported the Austrian Minis ter's omcial statement that "Herr Dollfuss was allowed to bleed to death by his assassins, who refused spiritual

and
Sir John Simon summarized report of the events as cquimunt- cated verbally to the Diplomatic Corps in Vienna last night. This report confirmed the fact that the Putsch began about 11
a.m.. when 100 men "in army uniforms seized the Federal Chancery and made prisoners of three Ministers, including' Herr Dollfuss, who was shot twice at close quarters. The broadcasting bullding. which had also been seized and used to broad- cast a false report of a change of Government, was quickly recap- tured by regular troops, and these troops surrounded the Chancery.
Parleys in which the German Minister in Vienna took part went on throughout the afternoon, and the insurgents were promised a safe conduct to the German" bor- der provided the three Ministers were released unharmed. They
the finally evacuated
Chancery about 7 p.m.. but Herr Dollfuss had died of his wounds about an hour previously.
Sir John Simon added that the murder of the Chancellor had, he understood, cancelled the promise of safe conduct. The insurgents were in custody, and the identity of those who fired the fatal shots was known. There had been no general support to: the insurgents In spite of their temporary success. either in Vienna or in the provin- ces, where everything was now under control, according to the latest reports.
Sir John Simon then related how he had paid a visit to the Austrian Minister to express personal and official sympathy and the horror felt at this "cowardly outrage": and he added the report of the callousness of the murderers which so" deeply moved his audience. Finally he repeated the declaration made last February that British polley stood for the independence and the Integrity of Austria in accordance with relevant treaties. That policy, he added, remained unchanged by these tragic events.
TO MINIMIZE
AN EVIL
Traffic In Women And Children
(Special Al Mall Service)
London, July 28.
The need for promoting closer co-operation between" Governments and voluntary, organisations in order to deal more effectively with the international traffic in women and children was urged at a conference held yesterday at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The confer- ence was organized by the Joint Standing Committee of the British Social Hygiene Council and the Conference of British Missionary Societies.
Lord Lytton, who presided at the morning session, said it should be possible, if people cared enough, to minimize the evil of the tramc in human vice, to restrict it within bounds, and to suppress that fea- ture of it whereby profits accrued to one set of people by exploiting the weaknesses of others.
Arising out of the report of the Commission of Inquiry into condi- tions in the Far East, recommen- dations were to be made to the Assembly of the League of Nations In the autüma.
The Assembly
would almost certainly give the necessary authority for a confer- ence to be held either at Singapore or at some other convenient centre in the Far East between represen- atives of the Governments con- cerned and the voluntary organi- zations which were working in that
part of the world.
