Split on Arming.

VIENNA, March 81 LP).-A demand
for the restoration of a conscript
army in Austria, voiced in the name
of the peasants by Josef Reither
minister Of agriculture, was regarded
today as indicating diSsension in the
government between the Fascist
heimwehr (home guardD and the
Catholic peasant element.
DR.. Reither's remarks. made Sun
day at Innsbruck, were reported here
today. Reither, who is leader Of the
Lower Austrian Peasant League,
voiced discomfort at several gather
ings in the Tyrol over the week end.
but the remarks he made at one of
these conferences of peasant leaders
were so blunt they created an embar-
RAISING situation within the cabinet.
II don't want to interfere with
Chancellor Schuschnigg's policies, -
Reither was reported to have said.
But his whole Austrian program is
in vain If the peasants are ruined
by it.
I'VE peasants are tired Of political
strife. We want neither Nazi nor
heimwehr dictatorship, but unfor-
tunately there will be heimwehr lead

There is a world of difference be-

Foreign Minister Pierre Laval and
Capt. Anthony Eden. He wanted to

AhvSsinian case privately
Both statesmen advised the Abys-

Laval said that he could not serve
as an Intermediary because his free
dom of action was curtailed by the
recently signed Italo- French agree

But Eden volunteered to be helpful.
1T would be a bad thing to present
your case to the Council, especially
when you have to deal with a big
power before having exhausted all
possibilities of direct reconciliation" !"
The Abyssinian agreed. Selassie
did not want trouble If he could avoid
it. Eden promised to do his best,
especially since the Abyssinians had
a strong case

The Abyssinian was flabbergasted.
"But we cannot accept these terms.
They are the original Italian demands,
which have brought us to Geneva.
Well, I don't see any way out except
placing the matter before the Council -
You can't do it now," replied Eden.
