The sponsors of the scheme are putting forward Dr. Dollfusa's claims on the grounds that by his courageous défence of Austrian in- dependence he saved Europe from complica-

The prize, which is worth just under £7,000, has been awarded In the "past to such international figures as Sir Austen Chamberlain, Mr. Kellogg, M. Briand and Herr Stresemann.
For the last two years the prize has not been given. If this posthu... mous award were made it would, of course, go to Frau" Dollfuss, who has just been granted her husb- and's salary for life. ."
