VIENNA, October 16-Vienna stu
dents riotously demonstrated today IN
sympathy with Germany.
The unfurling Of q huge swaStika
banner at the Institute Of Technology
was the signal for city-wide and
country wide demonstration at the uni
versities. Smoke bombs were exploded
while students shouted Hell Hitler"
and sang NaZi songs.
Police lorries were rushed to the uni
versity, the Technology Institute and
the Anatomical Institute. The use Of
clubs proving ineffective, the officers
resorted to their sabers before quiet
was restored.
The outburst Of the students was par
ticularly interesting In view of the atti-
tude encountered in official quarters
and political circles, where many, al
though pointing out Austria is more or
less bound to the friendly policy of the
League Of Nations, nevertheless could
not suppress q private feeling Of ex-
| ultation.

RumorS persisted that Hungary also
would quit the League.

garian premier, that there is justif1ca-

he did not wish to criticize the gov
ernment's foreign policy, he personally

But its expressions of sympathetic

the pernicious regularity with which
the victor nations continued to post

Officially, however, the government
maintained a careful watchful waiting
policy
"It is not yet possible to estimate the
character or important consequences o1
this move" said Vice Chancellor Emil
Fey in an address at Bisamberg.

attitude toward Germany. which has

Leon Blum, French Socialist, said:
