AUSTRIAN PEACE TREATY
JUGOSLAV COMPROMISE OPPOSED
(Rec. 7 i).m.) LONDON. Feb. 28. “The Austrian Foreign Minister (Dr. Karl Gruber) has rejected the compromise frontier claims against Austria made by the Jugoslav Deputy Foreign Minister (Dr. Ales Bebler), says Reuter’s diplomatic' correspondent. “In a statement to the Foreign Ministers* deputies, who are discussing the Austrian peace treaty. Dr. Gruber said that the Austrian Parliament and Government would never ratify a treaty which did not maintain the inviolability of the . Austrian frontiers. The latest Jugoslav proposals for the protection of the Slovene minority in the Austrian province of Carinthia amounted to the creation of an autonomous region. 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.”
