VIENNA READY FOR PLEBISCITE
GERMAN PROTEST
Venina, March 11.
A protest was lodged last night by the German Legation with Federal Chancellor Schus- chnigg against the order of the Austrian Government im- posing stricter censorship dur- ing the plebiscite, which lasts from today till Thursday, on all German newspapers offered for sale in Austria.-(Trans- ocean).
GERMAN PRESS COMMENT
"No Question Of Free Voting"
After silence
Berlin, March 11. maintaining д strict on Dr. Schuschnigg's
speech and the announcement of plebiscite in Austrin, the German press has now published short but sharp comments on the action taken.
The
de- papers unanimously nounce the step, which, it is point- ed out, was agreed upon in the absence of the National Socialist ministers and predict that it will have political repercussions.
"There can be no question "of free voting" declares "the Berliner Borsen Zeltung. Lack of election ists and control of any kind leaves the door wide open to political chicanery of a definite type. One wonders what the outcome of this scarely comprehensible announce- ment will be.
The papers emphasise that it is utterly impossible to organise and carry out a fair plebiscite in these days..
