CUSTOMS UNION
AUSTRIA AND GERMANY
DR. CURTIUS IN DEFENCE
(Koecivcd Ist April, 1 p.m.) BERLIN, 31st March. Dv. Curtius, addressing the Federal Council, replied to Mr. Henderson and M. Briand, declaring that economic anxiety and. distress had brought the Austrian and German Governments together, and impelled them to arrange a pact. Both countries expected to improve and extend their trade and industry by equalised Customs and trade conditions and unhampered trade intercourse. Both realised that even the mere appearance of a violation of the independence of Austria must be avoided. "In. view of the structure of our pact it is difficult to understand howAustria's independence is affected. So far nobody has attempted to prove the allegations that the plan ■ violates treaties."
