EUROPE FEARS AUSTRIAN UNION WITH GERMANY Leaders Protest Independent State Is Economic Impossibility. BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Writer VIENNA, Feb. 24.—“ Der Anschluss.” The visitor in big city often hears .hese two words wherever business men, politicians or workmen get together for a ciiat. "Der Anschluss” is the biggest problem little, decapitated, struggling Austria has. ‘‘Der Anschluss" means voluntary annexation to Germany. The peace treaties forbid it. Even if the peace treaties did not. interested European powers would. They are inspired byfear of a bigger and stronger Germany. How It's Sliced Up The situation in its A B C's is this: When the treaty makers got through with their carving of the old, big Austro-Hungarian empire, they had given great slices of its former territory to Roumania and Jugoslavia and had created anew state, Czechoslovakia. All that was left of the big dual empire was a small Hungary and a smaller Austria. The latter as an independent country is almost an economic and industrial impossibility. It seems to Austrians that thenfuture as an independent state is very dubious. The future as a state within the German republic would seem to them more secure and more hopeful. Food and raw materials would flow- into their state from the German country without having to cross frontiers. German capital would flow in. Their railways would be merged with the German state railways, which are far more efficiently run. Viennese industrial products would find a ready market in Germany. Also they would flow by railway to the great German seaports for the export trade. Austria, as at present constitutd, has no seaports of its own. Europe Objects The German parties of the extreme right are not keen about this voluntary annexation. The parties of the center and the left would be increased in power by the annexation of Austria. France has hitherto returned an , invariable negative to even the barest suggestion of the anschluss. She fears any addition to German territory. Italy also objects. At present a weak Austria is a buffer state between herself and Germany. Annexation would mean that augmented Germany and Italy would have frontiers marching together. From an unprejudiced American standpoint, the natural thing in this after-the-war Europe would be to allow weak Austria to join up with Germany. The unnatural thing would be to try to maintain this impossible state in a condition of independence.
