AUSTRO-GERMAN NEGOTIATION FAILS OF AIMS Tension Unrelaxed In Consequence.

VIENNA DETERMINED TO RESTORE MONARCHY

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

Vienna, July 6., An official source to-day disclosed that negotiations for an Austro-German settlement have collapsed.

It is reported that a compromise arrangement was found to be impossible based on Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg four-point plan, which was submitted to Herr Adolf Hitler, the German Chancellor, through Capt. von Papen, the German Minister Plenipotentiary at Vienna.

This plan included, firstly, recognition of Austria's independence; secondly, Germany's pledge not to interfere with Austria's internal affairs; thirdly, that Germany should pledge to acknowledge Austria's sovereignty in matters solely affecting Austria, such as the restoration of the monarchy; fourthly, that Herr Hitler should disavow the Austrian Nazis.

It is understand that the Austrianj Changellar, Dr. Schuschulge, is deters) mined to bine his political programme on the restoration of the Hupsbarg monarchy as the only means of avert- ing Nazi control.Ünited Preza,

The settlement of the question of the fortification by Turkey of the Dardanelles, for fifty years to come, is contemplated in a British memorandum made known to-day to the conferring powers here.

This stipulates the tonnage of warships which will be allowed to pass through the Straits, but that in case of war in which Turkey is a neutral, belligerent powers must have the right to send unlimited forces into the Black Sea.
