WILL NAZIS CEASE

INTERFERENCE?

CAUTIOUS COMMENT ON

AUSTRO-GERMAN

PACT

London, July 13.

A cautious view of the Austro-German rapprochement is taken in diplomatic circles in London, where the opinion is held that while it removes, at least temporarily, one danger spot it would be unwise to be too optimistic.

It is felt the agreement does not necessarily imply that German pressure on Austria will cease entirely. It is thought Herr Adolf Hitler may change his method, and exercise pressure from internal rather than external sources.

Despite the Austrian declaration that Nazi propaganda will not be permitted, it is felt that as freedom will be given to many Nazi propagandists they are not likely to remain silent.

محمد

It is considered obvious that the rapprochement was known and agreed to in advance by Signor Benito Mussolini, the Italian Dictator, and it is a matter for speculation whether Il Duce may propound a modernised version of the Four Power Pact of 1933, which will recognise the increased influence of Soviet Russia in European affairs.
