Vienna, March 23.-(P-Quick to
resent a collaboration which they feel
may bear the seed Of a dread "Mittel-

This protocol is that in which
Austria, obtaining a loan from the
former allied countries, reiterated its
agreement Of the treaty OF Saint
German, between Austria and the
allies, to preserve and guard 7ealously
its independence.
On. Schober Is understood to have
furnished the three diplomats with
explanations Of the projected pact
between Germany and Austria. at
tempting to show them that It in no
way compromised the protocol and
did not impair Austrian independ-
ence.
The Demarche Of the three govern

as an effort on their part to torpedo
the agreement with Germany. an

It was understood under It's terms,

and Austrian parliaments, all Gus

Germany will be removed.
Austria answered protests against
her proposed customs union With
Germany with an invitation to other
countries to Join them In
an abolition Of customs barriers.
The protest drew from Dr.. Johann
schober, foreign minister and vice.
chancellor, the word that Germany
and Austria had no intention Of con-
