The most spectacular and imprea- sive procession was witnessed when the remains, which were contained in a richly worked cuffin of sandalwood, were conveyed from the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, where they had been fying in state since the death of the patriot on May 12, to Lang Yen-tung Hill, a suburb of Canton, for burial later.

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

Vienna, July 12.

Austria will not enter any warlike combination of states, despite the new German entente, declared Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg, the Aus- trian Chancellor and Dictator, in an exclusive statement to the United Press to-day.

Austria will remain entirely independent and peaceful, but will take into account the common ties of language and mutual interests

uniting the Austrian and German peoples.

Regarding the restoration of the Hapsburgs to throne of Austria, he said this idea had not been abandoned. "It remains just where it was," the Chancellor added.'

Dr. Schuschnigg pointed out that Germany had promised not to interfere in any of Austria's internal affairs, and he said that a restoration would only be attained by plebiscite, and consummated without force. At present, however, a plebiscite on this matter might endanger European peace due to certain Little. Entente powers being opposed to the Hapsburgs' return.-United Press.

Vienna, July 12.

Notwithstanding the Austro-German agreement, announced yesterday, the Government of Austria will continue to take strong measures against Nazi propaganda, as it is determined to prevent any political party undermining the state, according to Austrian official circles.

A law for the protection of the state will be introduced shortly, forbidding attempts to endanger, the continued existence of an independent Austria and propaganda in favour of Anschluss, or the Germanisa- tion of the state..

Moreover, the Austrian Government does not intend to allow the country's internal development to be modified by Nazi ideology with regard to such matters as-racial-questions. Reuter Special, Italo-German Agreement?
