ITyrol to Austria.
This report was heard in Aus.
trian circles today-the first gun
in an inevitable campaign for the
return of those areas stripped
from Austria by World War peace
treaties.
PREDOMINANTLY GERMAN
Although now a part Of Italy,
that section of the Tyrol lying
within II Duce'S domain is pre-
dominantly German in race and
language.
In its relation to the German
government, Austria is to have a
status like that of a state in the
United States, or a dominion in
the British empire, it was said.
1t will be a state within a state,
with more autonomy than any Of
the German states, like Bavaria,
now possess, according to adviceS
here.
The apparent closeneSs of Hit
Ter and MuSsolini, even though
German troops now confront Italy
at the Brenner Pass, was demon
strated in an exchange of tele-
grams.
MUTUAL CONGRATULATIONS
MusSolini told Hitler: IT con-
gratulate you on the way you
have solved the Austrian prob
lem. I had already warned
Schuschnigg."
Hitler replied: "Mussolini, I
shall never forget this"
The long sought AnSchluss, end
ing the existence of a separate
Austria, was accomplished blood
lesSly through a decree issued by
Hitler at Linz. He proclaimed:
Il. The Austrian government
has resolved to reunite with
Germany, and the German gov
ernment recognizes this resolu-
ton.
20. The. supreme command
of the Austrian army herewith
passes over to myself, beginning
today.
"3. I charge General Book,
commander of the Eighth Army
Corps, with representing myself
with the Austrian army.

trian army must swear fidelity

sue the necessary orders.

Commissioner Buerskel (of the
Saar) to reorganize the Ma
tional Socialist party in Aus
tria.
'6. Buerckel will be in charge
of preparations for the plebi-
scite (Set for April 1O."
GOERING is MILITANT
The most militant note of all
was sounded by Marshal Her
mann Goering, whom Hitler
left in charge in Berlin.
German artillery will be ready
to fire" he said. if any country
tries to interfere in Austria.
At memorial service for the
German war dead, he insisted that
the Austrian coup was strictly a
German affair.
who has the right to inter
fere when Germans want to be
united with Germans?" ne in
quired.
Whose interests are en-.
croached upon, where only Ger
man interests are concerned?"
Germany" Goering added,
wants peace with honor and
justice, with equal rights and
freedom. and access to the
worlds resources. We don't want
the peace Of the socalled status
quo, where differences have
been created between the victors
and the vanquished, between the
'haves' and 'have-nots.'
