TENSION ENDED

GERMANY AND AUSTRIA. UNDERTAKING BY BAVARIA. SEARCH FOR ASSASSINS. (United Press Association—Copyright). (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) VIENNNA, August 9. The 'tension hetween Austria and Germany has been, ended by Bavaria promising to do her best to discover the murderers of Michael Sehwaninger, an Austrian auxiliary policeman at Kufstein, on the frontier, also undertaking immediately to remove the labour camp to a more distant) spot.— "Times." i BROADCAST PROPAGANDA. NO SERIOUS RESTRICTION. (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) MUNICH, August 9. A broadcast to-night by Hen: Habich (Herr Hitler's personal inspector for Austria) shows that no serious undertaking to restrain broadcast propaganda can be given. .Herr Habich denounced Dr. Dolfuss (Chancellor of Austria) inviting foreign intervention against Germany for the sole purpose of remaining in office against the wishes of the majority of Austriaus. Heir Habich declared: "There can be no peace in Europe until Central Europe is pacified by the union of Austria and Germany under the Nazis."--"Times." COMMENT ON GERMAN REPLY. ■ PROPAGANDA REPRISALS FEARED. LONDON, August 8. Commenting on the German reply to the Anglo-French demarche respecting N T azi propaganda in Austria, "The Times," in a leading article, recalls that hitherto only the Bolsheviks have systematically employed broadcasting to promote trouble abroad. "If the Nazis persist in doing so," continues the article, "reprisals in propaganda may develop which no country can regard with complacency. Moreover the assurance that the Germans are prepared to do their best is a curious phrase, when the Nazis are the beginning and ending of all authority in Germany." Messages from Paris say that the tone of .the German reply is regarded in official circles as a grave indication 'ffl the condition of mind prevalent in the Hitler regime. Nevertheless, Germany's discussion on the French and complaints, and her assurances io Italy, are believed to promise a fair hope of better behaviour.
