AUSTRIAN TREATY
 NOTABLE FUR |TS MANY OMISSIONS

PARIS, May 30.-(By The Associated Press)-A summary of the skeleton of the Austrian treaty submitted to the smaller nations Thursday for eXami- nation is remarkable chiefly for it's omissions and reservations. Subject heading after subject heading is fol- lowed either by non -committal dis play of blank paper or by the state ment this clause reserved
 This applies particularly to defini- ton of the southern frontier, the repa- ration clauses and the question of Ital- ian rights under the political clauses. The greater part of the summary in fact, is devoted to those clauses which are practically identical with the Ger man treaty.
 The new clauses are chiefly those dealing with frontiers, finance and the internal affairs of the new states and of Austria itself. Under the latter heading come the disputed provisos | for the protection of the racial minor 1 ities in the new states against which it is understood the representatives of i the new states may addres protest to the council of four and also ask for re- vision of the financial clauses, paFtic | ularly that part requiring the new states to compensate Austria for pub l lie property.
 | Austria is also bound by the treaty to respect the rights and privileges of ra cial minorities in what is left to her of her ancient domains, including the right to use their own languages, al though Austria is expressly authorized to make the teaching of German ob- ligatory.
 The treaty will consist of a preamble and fourteen parts, the preamble and one section embodying the covenant of the league of nations, as in the treaty with Germany
 Deal With All Angles
 Part two deals with frontiers. That with Czecho Slovakas follows practi- cally the old Bohemian frontier al though with the reservation of a possi- bility of making minor changes later, Austria retains on the west her old frontier with Switzerland the question of the union of Verarlberg with Switz- erland having apparently dropped de- spite the plebiscites already under taken in that province and Switzer- land. The southern frontier is not de- termined in the treaty.
 Part three contains political clauses including also some of the reserved ge- OSIdpHlcdl pTONlSO ana L1e causes eS tablishing mixed commissions to deter mine them later. The section referring , to Italy are all omitted. Other details
 deal with the future relations of Aus
 tria and with the stipulation for the
 protection of racial minorities which
 so far as the minorities in Austria are } concerned, are to be embodied in a 'bill , of rights" as part of the Austrian . constitution.
 Then come parts dealing with Aus , tria's renunciation of all rights outside of Europe, military, naval and aeria
 ornaments, which hereafter will entail ; virtually no expense for Austria, and ; the return of prisoners of war Part eight, on reparation, is blank
 Part nine, dealing with finance may be 5 changed as a result of the representa- l tions of the new states. The economic , clauses and aerial navigation regula- 1 tions are identified with those in the
 German treaty.
 Part twelve on ports, waterways an6 railroads, provides for commercial 1 outlets southward by water and rail l These details already have been GOV
 cred in the report n the inter allied } ports, waterways and railroads com I mission.
 l Part thirteen contains the interna
 tional labor convention and part four
 teen various miscellaneous provisions
 of minor importance.
