Berlin Perturbed,
Berlin, Feb. 26. The unexpected visit of the Italian Under-Secretary of State, Signor Suvich, to Vienna, has caused surprise and a certain Berlin amount of uneasiness in official quarters.
Officials here are of the opinion that the formation of a new group in Central Europe and the Baltic does not help solve the Austrian problem, and will not further the pacification of Europe.-Reuter.

A climax of the present tenglon be- tween Austria and Germany is threatened Wednesday with the end of the Nazi ultimatum: which, in effect, demanded that Chancol- lor Dollfuss follow the dictates of the Nazi party in Austria, suffer the consequences of a re- opening of Nazi propaganda from Habicht's headquarters in Munich.
