MODIFIED FASCISM
HEIMWEHR RULE IN TYROL MILITARY ADVISORY COUNCIL LONDON, February 6. The Vienna correspondent of the "Daily Mail" says that a virtual Fascist Government has been established in the province of the Tyrol under the Minister for Propaganda, Dr. Steidle. Although the ProvinI cial Assembly has not yet been formally dissolved, Prince Ernst von Starhemberg has formed a military council. Large reinforcements of the Heimwehr are arriving. Dr. Dollfuss, Chancellor of Austria, telephoned asking the Governor of the Tyrol and the leaders of the Heimwehr to confer with him at Vienna. The Vienna correspondent of the "Manchester Guardian" says: "A Heimwehr coup d'etat has undoubtedly brought Austria a step nearer to a Fascist State. "So far the Heimwehr Council has not usurped the place of the normal Government, merely acting as an advisory body; while Heimwehr excesses, such as maltreating and dosing a Socialist editor with castor oil and occupying a Socialist newspaper's offices have been suppressed." CONFLICT WITH GERMANY PARTICULARS OF ALLEGED NAZI OFFENCES (Received February 8, 1.40 a.m.) LONDON, February 7. The Rome correspondent of 'The Times" says Dr. Dollfuss informed Signor Mussolini that before formally bringing Austria's conflict with Germany to the notice of the League of Nations, he intends to supply the Italian, British, and French Governments with a dossier enumerating various alleged Nazi outrages and violations of Austrian sovereignty.
