Fear siav Combination.

ROME, Aug. % (Associated Press) -
Fear of powerful Slav combination in
central Europe which would supersede
the Austria OF old as the hereditary
enemy of Italy is expressed in the Ital-
ian press to-day, in comment upon the
disposition OF the present Austria.
Many newspapers. including the Rome
Mcssd0ero, urged the Government to
oppose any plan aiming to create a
strong Slav hegemony in central Eu-
rope.
The plan which engages the most ap-
rrehension Is one providing for the oc-
cupation Of the Austrian provinces OF
Styra and Carinthia by Jugo-Slavia and
the taking over OF upper Austria by
Czecho-Slovalsia The design in this
would be to unite the two Slav nations
os central Eurupe. Vienna, deprived Of
its status as n capital. would then be
internationalized The Austrian Tyrol,
which would he practically all that
would remain or the present Austria.
would be united. to Bavaria. under this
plan. but only on condition that 1t be-
comes Independent of Germany.
Some newspapers assert that certain
countries are trying TO take advantage
of the disastrous situation in Austria
for their own aggrandizement Jugo-
Slavia and Czecho-Slovakia being espe-
cially mentioned.
VERONA. italy. Aug. 25 fAssociated
Press) The inviolability OF Austrian
territorial integrity and the maintenance
OF her autonomy under existing treaties
are essential prerequisites for Italian
financial assistance.
This was the declaration made by the
italian Foreign Minister. Carlo Schanzer.
at the meeting here to-day between
Italian representatives ana the Austrian
Chancellor. DR.. Seipel
Sienor Schanzer said that Italy was
willing TO contribute as her ability al
lowed and that she was ready to resume
the negotiations inaugurated during the
Genoa conference for the consummation
Of commercial treaty between Italy
and Austria.
In an interview with the local news
naper Arena. Foreign Minister Schanzer
to-day deprecated exaggeration of the
importance OF the visit to Italy of DR..
Seipel, and especially the newspaper talk
about annexation or the fusion OF Aus
tria with Italy.
The Italian policy concerning Austria,
the newspaper quotes the Foreign Min
lister as saying. Is based on a situation
OF credit by the treaty Of st. Germain.
and the Italian Government IS firmly
determined TO do nothing contrary to
the views OF its allies. Italy could not
remain inactive in the face of the
economic collapse OF Austria. but the
whole matter has been referred to the
League OF Nations, and italy will abide
by its decision.
