BRITAIN NOT INVOLVED.
Austria Voluntarily Informed Her Of
Developments.

Developments.
LONDON. February S (R.-Great
Britain played no part in Austria's
decision today to appeal to the League
of Nations against German interfer-
ence, it was stated at the foreign
Office.
The British government. 1t was de-
clared fatty, neither directly nor in
directly advised Austria nor in any
way sought to influence her, although
Austria voluntarily kept London fully
informed of developments.
As member of the League Council,
it was pointed out Great Britain
would be obligated to answer the
summons if special session of the
council is called to take up the ques-
tion.
British policy in connection with
the dispute has not been formulated,
it was said, and likely will not even
be considered until formal protest
is fled.

U. S, GOLD STOCK RISES
Purchases and Hoarded Releases
Received at Treasury,

The Governments gold stock in
creased ST 100000 today to a new high
of S7,O19,914,11
Treasury figures gave no official ex-
planation for this increase, but 1t was
assumed to be due partly to gold re-
turning from boarding and partly to
purchases. The previous days gold
figure was $7,o1s,263,9 ,925.

After that the administration proba-
bly, will put through Congress, quietly,
a bill to license the stock exchanges
The bill will not include specific rules
and regulations, if present plans are
followed. 1t will merely hold ex-
changes responsible for public protec-
ton and keep a guiding hand on
them.
That, no doubt. will be satisfactory
to the better element in the exchanges
and to the liberals who are demand
ing reform.
Banks Stagnating Now.
A similar effort will be made to
straighten out the banking situation
in more amiable way. Details have
not yet been decided. The way things
are drifting. banks are stagnating
They are mere pools for floating Gov
ernment bonds. The commercial aspect
OF their business is gone. They are
afraid II finance commercial activities
building and real estate in normal
way, They keep themselves in state
OF liquid terror, ready for runs and
prepared for everything except legiti-
mate expansion of their business.
At least that is the udy the ad-
n,inistrGtion people are beginning
to look at it. They can see that
the banks 1rill hare to erpdnd
their credit operations to finance
the business improvement noU
under aDay, or the Government ,piH
haze to do it.
You will see that the next big step
by the administra ton will be to COM
fort the banks and insurance compa-
nies. (There are plenty of both need
ing aid-and comfort.)
Still Hoot at Bankers.
Some of the outlying congressman
have not yet caught up with this
switching current of inner sentiment
They are still hooting and cat-calling
against bankers and Wall Streeters
urging that the Government run the
Stock Exchange or abolish it.
That sort of thing has been popular
since the banking exposures A public
opinion was created tnen that all
bankers and all Wall Streeters were
like those who got caught.
The idea is no,u gaining Ueight

c. w. A. Annoys Housewives.
1t looks as If the c. w. A. is trying
to make itself unpopular.
Its latest stunt is to send men can
vassing in the best residential districts
gathering data for slum clearance.
The men ask housewives rather inti-
mate questions about their finances,
how much their homes cost, how
much their husbands make.
One such canvass man was broomed
out of the house by an irate wife who
resented the inference that she lived
in a slum.

Dollfuss and the Heimwehr.
The appointment of the commission
to govern the Tyrol came after sensa-
tional speeches at Innsbruck by Prince
Won Starhemberg and Richard Steidle,

Austria's appeal to the League is to
be based on article XI of the League
Covenant, embodied in the treaty of
Versailles, which follows:
ANY war or threat of war, whether
Immediately affecting any of the
members of the League or not, is
hereby declared a matter of concern
to the whole League, and the League
shall take any action that may be
wise and effectual to safeguard the
peace of nations. In case any such
emergency should arise the secretary
general shall on the request of any
member of the League forthwith sum-
mon a meeting of the council.
1T is also declared to be the
friendly right of each member of the
League to bring to the attention OF
the assembly or of the council any
circumstances whatever affecting in
ternational relations which threaten
to disturb international peace or the
good understanding between nations
upon which peace depends"

Germany Withdrew from the League
last October, following dispute over
disarmament.
One of the most important appeals
ever before the League was placed by
China in December. 1881. on the
Manchurian conflict with Japan, and
resulted in the latter's eventual With
drawal from Geneva.
1t was based on the Covenant and
the Briand-Kellogg pact outlawDlg

A neutral commission was appointed
to investigate, and its report con-
demned japanese military occupation
of Manchuria.
A dispatch from Berlin today said
German official circles regarded the
possibility of a political union with
Austria as in the background, but not
abandoned.
THE two countries must first find
a method of getting back to brotherly
relations" spokesman said. CLOSEST

should turn Nazi.
Addressing huge mass meeting OF
guardsmen in this hot spot of Aus
trian opposition to Nazi political
propaganda, the prince bluntly warned
Chancellor Englebert Dollfuss.

Heimwehr will continue to support
the rule of political parties in Austria y
Steidle likewise frankly declared
that Dollfuss must change his views
toward all parties. including his own
group of Christian Socialists.
In the capital. however, former
Minister Kollmann told a Christian
Socialist gathering:
1.-The existence of the Christian So
cial party is an absolute necessity and
the talk about its dissolution is non

DOLLAR |SSTEADY
AS FRANC DROPS
Political Crisis in France
Causes Slump in World
Market.
~ the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
The French political crisis sent the
French franc down sharply In prln-
eipal world financial markets today.
But the dollar and the pound ster-
ling maintained the most stable ratio
to each other since the gold exchange
value of the dollar was fixed last
week.
American securities markets again
boiled with bullishness, and the Lon
don stock market was strong in most
directions. Cotton, wheat, rubber,
hides and other staples were mod
erately higher in American markets.
Dollar Included.
The French franc slumped both in
terms of the dollar and the British
pound. The dollar closed in Paris
at the equivalent of 6.l8 cents to the
franc, and the franc was later quoted
at that level in New York, down is
Of q cent since Saturday. 1t later
recovered a little.
The dollar hovered between $4.93
and $4e5 to the pound in London
and later in New York the pound was
quoted at s493l2, unchanged from
Saturdays close. This caused conjec-
ture in financial quarters as to whether
the British equalization fund and the
American stabilization fund might not
be cooperating to keep the rate
steady. but Wall Street was inclined
to doubt such action as yet
