AUSTRIAN TREATY
, FRONTIER CLAIMS REJECTED (Rec. 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 28. Dr. Karl Gruber, the Austrian Foreign Minister, rejected compromise frontier claims against Austria made by the deputy-Yugoslav Foreign Minister, Ales Bebler, says Reuter’s diplomatic correspondent. In a statement to the Foreign Ministers’ Deputies conference on Austria, Dr. Gruber said the Austrian Parlia ment and Government would never ratify a treaty which does not maintain the inviolability of Austrian frontiers. The latest Yugoslav proposals for the protection of the Slovene Minority in the Austrian province of Garin thia amounted to the creation of an autonomous region, said Dr. Gruber. This would constitute “a constitutional monster, and would in any case create chaos.” The Austrian Government would, however, consider a proposal for international protection of the Slovene minority to be written into the Austrian peace treaty.
