AUSTRIA'S "BROWN BOOK" Austria's determination to expose the part which German. organisers played in the July putsch in Vienna is not difficult to understand. If proof of com- plicity exists, it is just as well

to have it upon record. Beyond that, however, Dr. Schuschnigg, is not likely to receive much encouragement from the powers

of Europe. The dangers that existed in the days of tension immediately following the death of Dr. Dollfuss have passed. Few. will be willing to join in any measures, either at Geneva or elsewhere, which can only have the effect of stirring úp further unpleasantness, for no good reason. For, after all, if Herr Hitler's action in the Vienna crisis can be interpreted as a permanent modification of his policy, he has already done much to repair the damage caused by the provocative pro- paganda and activities of the National Socialist Party, in Austria. In the main, only two developments could provoke foreign intervention. The first -would be the inability of the con- stituted authorities to maintain order. The second would be an overt act from the German side. of the Austro-German border. Both were avoided in the time of crisis and are out of the question now. The stringent measure taken by Prince von Starhem- berg to suppress revolutionary activity accomplished their pur pose. Across the border Chan- cellor Hitler took every possible nction to halt German embroil- ment. In the situation. His orders scotched the plans of the "Austrian Legion" of National

National armies are denominated the police forces of the world, and this figure of speech reconciles miany pence-loving persona to schemes of rearmament that they might otherwise look upon.
