The New Austrian Cabinet The Austrian Cabinet was reformed on
June 20th, under Dr. Buresch, after the fall of Dr. Ender's Govern- ment on. the 17th. The parties supporting Dr. Buresch are, much the same as those which supported the last Government, though, possibly because he was at one time a violent • supporter of the Heimwehr, the Socialists are somewhat less friendly. In view of the relief afforded to. Austrian finance, first by the Bank of England, and secondly by Mr. Hoover's announcement, it is possible that the new Government may be able to retain office for some time. It is significant that Dr. Schober, who negotiated the project for the Customs Union, is retained as Foreign Minister and Vice-Chancellor, and that appar- ently his help was sought by Dr. Seipel, who also tried to form a cabinet. The French proposals do not seem to have produced much weakening on this policy in any party in Austria. * * *
