Attempt Remain Neutral
 Political Powers
(By The Associated Press)

VIENNA, July 23-Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg said that Aus tria will not enter any war-like combination of States despite her newly created Entente with Ger many. When asked if Austria's foreign policy henceforth will be subordinated to that of Germany the Austrian dictator said, that his country will remain entirely independent and peaceful, but will take into account the com mon ties of language and mutual interest which unite the two countries.
 He further said the question of restoring the Imperial House of the Hapsburgs to Austria has not been side tracked by the new AuStro-German peace pact, but remains just where it was" The restoration is an internal problem and Germany has promised to maintain a hands-off policy in all affairs which concern Austria on ly, Schuschnigg pointed out.
 The Chancellor added that, the Hapsburgs would be restored to the throne of their fathers only az a result of a plebesite and not by force. He did not consider the present time, however, as suitable for putting the question to the people, as it might endan- ger the peace of Europe.
 Schuschnigg recalled that cer- tain members of the Little En- tente had threatened to go to war to prevent recreation of the Imperial House of Austria.
