VIENNA. Aug. 81 ASSOCIATED Press).
"A brief statement. issued to-day by
Dr.. rSnaz seipel. Austrian Chancellor.
on his conference at Verona. italy,
with Signor Schanzer, italian Foreign
Minister. on Aubtria's financial and
economic straits. announces that DR..
Seipel Is in a position to make con-
crete proposals to the Government.
which will preclude the immediate
collapse OF Austria, which has been
felt 10 be inevitable.
The nature Of the proposals was not
disclosed. In political circles II is be-
lieved they are either based on some
form Of agreement with italy or on
another attempt to delay the crisis
through the League Of Nations.
While the labor leaders are using
every effort to prevent recurrence
OF disturbances they admit that they
are not sanguine OF doing SO in view
OF the increasing distress and unrest.
The cost Of living has increased 100
per cent. in the last twelve days. The
crown is now at $4,000 to tho dollar
and the note circulation is nearly one
trillion crowns.
Fear Italy's Intentions.
The Austrian press. apparently in
strhcted to minimize the prospect Of
important political decisions having
been taken at Verona. places the
League of Nations in the foreground.
At the same time italian ambitions for
an independent policy regarding Aug

the Czech press. and to a lesser extent.
the Juso-Slavian press. openly express
the fear that Italy is playing her own
hand With tho Austrian Chancellor.
The Prague correspondent Of the

meaning to present the powers with
an accomplished fact. Such . solution
OF the situation he adds. would not
be. tolerated by csecho-s -slovakia and
Jugo- siavia. WHICH. probably. would
have the support OF France.
The Social Democrats are insisting
that Parliament be summoned imnedi-
ately as the only method to determine
whether the bourgeoisie parties sum.

OF a final collapse Of the country to
