$4,000; Nazi Storm
Troops Gather

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The menace
Of war moved closer today as Mus
solini swiftly massed $4,000 troops
ready for immediate action along the
most strategic points of the Austrian
borders.
Meanwhile, Nazi Germany is NOV
ing Fascist Storm Troops close to the
northern Austrian border. Thousands
of Austrian fascists who went to
Germany for closer contact with the
Nazis are massing in newly formed
regiments at the Austrian borders, 1t
has been reported.
French Antagonism to "Anschluss'
British imperialism has heavy
stakes in Austria, as well as being in
terested in keeping italian IMPERIAL
ism from maintaining its influence
over the Austrian government.
italian imperialism is fighting to
prevent an "anschluss" (union) be-
tween Austria and Germany because
this would weaken its position among
100000 Germans who are now, as a
result Of the Versailles Treaty, under
Italian rule, as well as its position
in the fight against the German fas-
cist drive for markets and colonies.
French imperialism is determined
that Nazi Germany shall not unite
with Fascist Austria. Recent events,
therefore, may have brought it closer
to italian imperialism.
Meanwhile, the various European
imperialist powers are striving to find
solution 10 these antagonisms
through some form Of movement
toward an anti-Soviet bloc.
