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 up 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 authoritics 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- posc. Across the border Chan- cellor Hitler took every possible action to halt German embroil- ment in the situation." His orders scotched the plans of the "Austrian Legion" of National Socialists to march across the border from Munich. And his dismissal of the two party chieftains who had charge of the German activities in Austria gave effect to the desire of der Fuehrer to, abandon the inflam- matory Austrian policy which was so much a part of his doctrine before he came

Moreover, the despatch of Von Papen 08 "peace" emissary to Vienna, indicates that Germany is taking every means to keep ita desire for Austro-German union from being linked with a premature move of an extreme minority which took too seriously the Munich propaganda favouring forceful unification of the two countries. Objections to the union of Austria and 'Germany' cannot for ever stand in the face of the inherent ethnic and economic justification for the Anschluss.
