In all these matters the sympathy not only of this
country but of all the world will be with Austria, and in particular with her Chancellor Dr: Dollfuss, who has created an excellent impression while attending the Economic Conference in London, and whose indomitable courage in the face of grave personal and political danger has evoked universal admiration. He is fighting to the death .to save his country, from , subjection to a Nazi movement. fomented from -Germany, and he may reasonably claim any support other Governments and other peoples can. give him. As -to,,the Governments, those of this country, France and Italy can help materially. by -pushing forward the , issue_ of the.. loan they have agreed to back. Command of new resources would strengthen -the Austrian Chancellor's position con-- siderably, and the sooner the desired steps are taken the better. What Dr. Dollfuss wants of private citizens is that they shall visit Austria and take the place of the German tourists whom Herr Hitler's ban will keep away. Unfortunately, foreign travel is expensive in days of a depreciated pound, and stories of disorder in Austria are not altogether calculated to attract tourists.' * *- *
