Vienna, June 16.

A declaration in to-day's official Reichpost that a continually growing majority of Austrian people desires a restoration of the monarchy, with the return of Archduke Otto von Hapsburg, has caused a sensation. in political circles.

The article denies that a restoration will be effected by means of a coup d'etat but hints that the Government may launch a plebiscite on the question.

It is believed this statement is the most important officially inspired declâration since the Great War, and presages important action despite the recent threats of the Little Entente. →Reuter.
