Story Is Very Simple.
The Austrian story is very simple.

backed up by armed force. The ulti-
matum of Berchtesgaden of February

March II. On February IL Chancellor
Hitler persuaded" Schuschnigg to put

Schuschnigg had one advantage which
German democrats did not have in
1888. He, himself, had an authors
tartan government, and he had seen
the process in Germany: he had a
blueprint of the technique. He kept
the exact letter Of his shotgun agree
ment with Chancellor Hitler, and thus
practiced a form of sabotage known
to trade unioniSts; of following the
rules and regulations SO meticulously

leaf out of Hitler's own book. and
called for a vote of confidence by
plebiscite, which was to have been
held Sunday.
Since Chancellor Hitler's agents in
formed him that the plebiscite would
unquestionably support Mr.. Schusch-
nigg, Mr.. Hitler offered another ulti-
matum: Call off the plebiscite and
resign, or you will be invaded. Both
threats were backed up by mobiliza-
ton of German troops on the Austrian
frontier, and there was final realiza-
tion in Vienna that refusal would
