Rule by Otto Held Only Bar
To Modification of Austria
Prince Starhen1berg
You'd Not Oppose
Making Hin, King.
Treaty Provision Against
Hapsburgs Expected
to Be WaiUed.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

III WINS 4AGNI DEoVNHvs
The return of Archduke Otto Of
Hapsburg to his native Vienna and
his proclamation as King of Austria
was predicted In diplomatic circles
yesterday as the only possibility of
checking the Nazification of Austria.
A new drama is being prepared in
the Danubian republic.
At midnight expires the ultimatum
of the Austrian Nazis, who are at
present in Bavaria. In this ulti-
matum. delivered over the radio to
Chancellor Dollfuss last week, the
Nazi leader demanded an immediate
collaboration of the Austrian govern
ment with the Nazi elements.
Dollfuss refused to reply directly,
but since last night he has been dis
patching troops to the Austro- German
border to oppose by force of arms, If
necessary, any attempt of the Nazi
legions stationed in Germany to cross
the frontiers.
Prince Assemblies Troops.
Prince Starhemberg. the leader of
the Austrian fasciSts, who for the time
being are not in sympathy with the
NazlS, is sending his own well dis
ciplined legions into Vienna to replace
the government troops which have
been sent to the frontiers.
In the meantime, Silvio Suvich, the
Italian undersecretary of state and
Mussolini's special emissary to Aus
tria and Hungary. arrived in Vienna
from Budapest, where he discussed
with the regent, Admiral Horty. and
the Hungarian cabinet the possibility
of reinstating Otto to the throne of
his forefathers. Hungary is still a
kingdom, but 1t has no King because
the treaty Of st. Germain expressly
prohibits the return of any of the
Hapsburg family to the throne of
either Austria or Hungary.
Before the menace of the Nazifica-
tion Of both these Danubian states it
appears that the great powers which
have signed the treaty of Trianon
and st. German are willing to with
draw their objection to the re-en-
thronement of Otto.
Little Entente Objects.
The little entente, and especially
Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. still
maintain their objections to the re-
turn of any of the members of the
former reigning family to the throne.
1t is said, however, that these objec-
tions will be overruled by the prin-
cipal powers.
In any case Austria is girding her
self to fight another battle against
Hitler's drive for the Notification of
that country.
While France remains an impassive
observer, tacitly supporting Italy, the
Italian government is preparing the
ground for an eventual intervention,
should the Austrian Fascists be unable
to withstand the onslaught Of the
Nads from across the border.
Prince Starhemberg, Mussolinis
protoge, is preparing to take over the
government from Chancellor Dollfuss,
who Is reported to be ready to hand

over the reins Of the government to
the youthful aristocrat
Starhemberg himself is a loyalist
and will not oppose the return of
Otto. should the young King without
a crown be ready to leave Belgium,
where he is studying at present.
Austria is likely again to be the
scene of a bloody drama.
On the Austrian borders are con-
centrated at the present moment the
following forces:
Seventy-five thousand Italian regular
troops with all the modern war para
phernalia, $4,000 Czechoslovakian
troops, also provided with an up-to-
date war equipment: an unknown
number Of storm troopers, officially
known as Austrian Nazis, but in fact
a mixture of Austrians, Bavarians and
other Germans. Officially the number
of the Austrian Nazis in Germany is
believed not to exceed 10000 men,
but when the drive begins their num-
Der may be much greater.
Would Avoid Intervention.
The Italians desire to avoid an
armed intervention. So do the
Czechoslovaks, but the latter are de-
termined to send troops into Austria.
if the Italians find it necessary to
- rvene.
The hope Of the Italians to avoid
an intervention with far-reaching
consequences is that Starhemberg will
be able to install a Fascist govern
ment in Austria before the Nazis
have had a chance to cross the
border.
Following this coup. the return to
the throne of Otto of Hapsburg, the
Italians think, may bring together all
the political factions in Austria
around the throne. This appears so
much more possible, now that the
Socialist party, which has been op-
posing the monarchy, has been dis
solved and the Socialists practically
exterminated by last weeks action

LOTTERY IS DENIED
BYPANAMA ENVOY
Minister Says Report of
New York Alderman Is
Erroneous.

Minister r. J. Alfaro of Panama
yesterday issued an emphatic denial
of published reports from New York
to the effect that the legation in
Washington is cooperating in a pro-
posal by a New York alderman for a
municipal lottery, with the Republic
of Panama doing the banking"
An Associated Press dispatch Of the
lottery plan of Alderman Elias H.
Jacobs, as printed in Fridays Star,
stated that, according to Jacobs. the
secretary of the panama legation
Washington today suggested the part
nership." 1t was reported that the
legation secretary had suggested in a
telegram that Panama be permitted
to sell lottery tickets in New York IN
return for a Is per cent split" of
the gross value of all Panama lottery
tickets sold.
Minister Alfaro, in a communica-
ton to The Star, stated not only that
"the secretary of this legation abso-
lutely denies that he has ever sent
such a telegram as that referred to-"
but also that las a matter of fact,
until yesterday (Friday). the legation
had net even knowledge of the exist
ence of a person named Elias H.
Jacobs"
He added: Il have also noted that
while in the dispatch the fact of the
would-be proposal is given as a state
ment of Mr.. Jacobs with regard to
the secretary of this legation, in the
headlines the same imaginary fact is
given as a direct assertion of your
newspaper with regard to the Repub-
lie of Panama itself These headlines
convey a false and erroneous impress
sion, as they make the republic ap-
pear as endeavoring to do something
which, while perfectly licit in my own
country, is contrary to the laws of the
United States. For these reasons
must enter my protest against the
publication of those headlines, and I
entertain the hope that you will see
to it that this error be duly cor
rected."

ROME. February 24.-The sugges-
ton that Premier Mussolini call Q
four-power meeting to settle the dis
armament question. well informed
circles said today. will be made by
Anthony Eden, British lord privy seal.
Since direct negotiations between
France and Germany seem TO have
reached a deadlock, it was said in
these quarters, II Duce will be asked,
during forthcoming conversations
with Capt. Eden, to convoke a ses-
sion Of French, German, Italian and
British representatives.
1t was not generally believed, how
ever, that the Italian prime minister
will accede to this request. since he
thinks four-power conference
should be called only after extern
sive diplomatic preparation has re-
moved the main differences between
France and Italy.
Arrives for Talks.
Capt. Eden arrived this afternoon
from Berlin to lay before Mussolini
the results of his arms talks in Paris
and the German capital.
He was met at the station by the
staff Of the British embassy and
Italian foreign office heads, among
them Baron Pomped Aloisi, the
Italian delegate to the League Of
Nations.
The British armament expert re-
fused to make a statement on the
scope of the talks. He was immedi-
ately driven to the British embassy
In Paris he was told that France
will no longer consider rearmament

for arms parity and, among other
things. well equipped army Of 300,-

German statesmen, 1t was under
stood. advised Capt. Eden Of at least
qualified approval of British arms
reduction plan, which has aroused
little enthusiasm in Italian circles.
Disarmament Held Impossible.
Authorities here were said to be-
lieve that disarmament is impossible
under present conditions and that the
only way to forestall an arms race is
by European agreement.
Neville Chamberlain, British chan
cellor of the exchequer, in a speech
at Plymouth, England, said last night
the position of Great Britain's de-
fense forces must be reconsidered
In our effort to cope with our own
financial stringency and give a lead
to other countries In disarmament, we
have reduced our defences to q dan
gerously low level" he said.
THE reduction Of expenditures by
postponement Of building and replace
ment of stores cannot be indefinitely
continued.
Some people think the navy is OBJ
solete, and they would rather put
their trust in airplanes.
But do not let us imagine the air.

JAPANESE PRINCE
DENIES HOSTILITY
TokugaWa Warns Against
War EXCitement-Wi|I
Visit Washington.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 24.-Dis-
avowal of anything but pacific in
tentions by Japan and a warning
that people on both sides of the
Pacific must be careful mot to be
sensational and exciting" were voiced
today in the hotel suite of Prince
Iyesato Tokugawa, head of the family
which once ruled Japan.
The prince, II years old and for
80 years president Of the japanese
House of Peers, arrived yesterday
from Canada. He will visit Wash
| ington Wednesday. In Japan he
heads the forces striving to maintain
peaceful relations between the two
large nations of the Pacific.
His son. Iyemasa Tokugawa, Japa-
nese Minister to Canada, did most
of the speaking for the prince in
an interview and stressed that he
was not talking as japanese official.
Peace at Stake.
Every war is caused by real diff
ference of opinion" he said in the
princes presence. But, neverthe-
less, we must be careful not to be
sensational and exciting. 1t is hu
man nature to be excited, but in
this case it would be at the expense
Of a valuable peace"
Prince Tokugawa delivered a for
NAL statement.
"I am glad to be able to confirm
my sincere belief that on either side
of the Pacific there Is on real cause
for conflict between our two nations"
he said.
THE two countries are destined to
share responsibility for maintaining
peace in the Pacific"
Among the questions which the
prince chose to answer was one refer
ring to the recent statement of the
japanese Ambassador to the United
States that war between Japan and
Russia would pit the United States
against Japan.
Il quite agree" the prince said.
I'VE don't want war with Russia, and
they don't, think"
Explains Army Fund.
Explaining the japanese Army and
Navy appropriations, considered large
in some quarters, the son said:
I'VE have assumed more response
bility in army matters with respect
to Manchukuo. Japan is obligated to
protect the new state by means of
force If necessary"
The prince said tonight in speech
over an N. B. c. chain that Great
Britain, the United States and Japan
should stand as bulwarks for peace
and termed "deplorable" reports ION
the so-called danger of war between
the United States and Japan"
Neither of us desires an inch Of
land on the others side of the ocean,"
he said, adding:
eff the vision of Japan seems at
times somewhat warped" he said, "it
is well to remember that we are suf-
fering, like other countries, from the
depression and also on account of
our close proximity to two of the
worst upheavals the world has ever
known. I refer to thsrrevolutions In
Russia and China"

POPE DENOUNCES PAGANISM.
Speech Seen as Direct Slap at German
Sterilization.

Sterilization.
VATICAN CITY, February "a CP.-
Pope Plus bitterly denounced a mod
ern initiative leading to the errors and
horrors of pagan life" today in a
speech interpreted as directed against
laws-notably compulsory steriliza-
ton decree-recently put in force in
Germany.
He decried a current "exaltation of
Ideas and practices neither Christian
nor Humankind especially an eXalta-
ton of racial pride which can lead
only to a haughtineSs which is abso-
lutely contrary to the Christian and
human spirit"
Referring to the Forthcoming can
onization of the German Capuchin,
Conrad Won Parzham, the Pope said
Providence has come to throw light
during this tragically historic mo-
nent on such a noble figure"
The address was delivered in con-
nection with the reading of decree
approving miracles for Won ParzhamS
canonization.
Menace TO Souls"
There exists at present, said his
holiness, "a terrible menace and great
harm to souls of people, especially
the young, who are favorites of the
Divine Redeemer."
The mendicant friar, Won Parzhan,
he added, represented the greatness
and nobleness of the German people.
Plus directed warning against
present-day tendencies for an initia-
tive intended to lead all and every
one back to the same pagan life that
existed in ancient times-to all those
errors and horrors that are still seen
today wherever the Redeemer's cross
has not penetrated, without mission
Aries, or where it has been rejected"
CDR. Alfred Rosenberg, philosophic
dictator Of Germany and leader in
a Germanic cult movement, said in
Berlin yesterday that I'VE respect
the faiths Of recognized churches, but
also strivings toward new religious
forms" and that Christianity will
be respected in Germany but must
submit to the test of Nazi racial
theories)
Propaganda Flayed.
About the life work of the Italian
priest, Giuseppe Cottolengo, a de-
cree for whose canonization also was
read, the pontiff said 1t was q sharp
rebuke to Protestant propaganda
(which at present is flooding Italy
and which extends from the Alps to
Mount Etna."
This, he said, must necessarily
cause grave harm and is an offense to
the Redeemer.'
On the other land he continued,
i've congratulate ourselves for this
delightful Italy-for that Christian
life which is the greatest treasure"
Today's ceremony included also the
reading of a decree for the beatifica-
tion of the Spanish priest, Antonio
Claret, which will take place tomor-
row.
In this connection, Plus expressed
the hope that the Spanish people
twill lay aside their differences" and
unite to obtain "sanctity of the fam
Hy, sanctity of the school and the
liberty of the church" for their coun-
try.
Under the German sterilization law,
which went into effect January l,
persons having certain incurable all
ments will be subject to sterilization
operations. The measure was de-
signed to better race standards.
The new cult movement in Ger
many seeks the recognition of a
third" religion which some observers
say will be based on mythology.
