GERMAN URGES
CLOSER union
WITH AUSTRIA
Says Alliance Must Bring
Middle Europe Under Dom
nation of Central Powers.
DIV Associated Press.l


AMSTERDAM, June 10.-Perma-
nent economic and military union be-
tween Germany and Austria Hungary.
with the gradual disappearance OF
customs duties and frontiers" is pro-
posed by Friedrich Won Payer. impe-
rial vice chancellor of Germany. in a
statement published in the Neu Erie
Presse of Vienna and quoted in the
Vossische Zeitung of Berlin.
Included in this scheme of Mittel
Europe under domination Of the Cen
trail Powers are Russia, Poland, Bull
garia and Turkey
with this union once effected, the
peace of Europe would be in the hands
of the Teutonic allies, the settlement
of vexing problems arising from the
war would be made more easy, and
the solution of internal questions
would be made more easy, and the
solution of internal questions would
also be facilitated. In his statement
the Vice Chancellor said in part:
THE present form of the alliance is
inadequate. In view of the fact that
vital questions are concerned, the dur
alton Of the alliance must not depend
continually on the feelings at the mo-
ment. Successive treaties of short
duration lapse. The union must be
so intimate that the idea of separation
practically wiuld be out Of the ques-
ton and the center of gravity fthe
alliance must be held in an economic
union"
