VIENNA, March 1.-THE controversy
between Austria and Italy over Italian
administration in the former Austrian
Tyrol has again hared into prominence
In Vienna. just when 1t appeared that
the dispute was temporarily closed.
Premier Mussolini's speech March 3,
declaring that Italy would tolerate no
external interference in the admins
tration Of Italian affairs, was the oc-
casion for an outburst by Deputy E.
lenbogen, former president Of Parl!a-
ment, In speech last night.
Referring to Italian treatment Of the
TyrOlese, Deputy Ellenbogen. a Social
Democrat, declared:
1t has always been regarded as
coWardly and base when the response
bic leader OF a great state attacked
weak neighbor with threats Of var.
Even the most degenerate statesmen
never could reconcile 1t with heir
honor TO break binding official obiiga-
tons assumed by their predecessors"
In view Of Premier Mussolini's pro-
test against previous outbursts in the
Austrian Parliament against Italian
rule in the Tyrol. repercussions are ex-
pected from Rome. .
