PROVISIONAL CABINET
FORMATION IN AUSTRIA
LONDON, April 29
Moscow radio says that a provisional Government has been formed in Austria, headed by Dr. Karl Renner, aged 75, a Social Democrat, and a former Chancellor. He was the last president of the Free National Council of the Austrian Republic which was suppressed by the Germans in 1938. Dr. Renner headed the Austrian peace delegation in 1919. The members of the Cabinet include Ministers who are members of no party, Christian Socialists, and Communists. The Russian news agency says that the Austrian provisional Government was the outcome of a meeting in Vienna of leaders of all the anti-Fascist parties and public men. They issued a joint communique announcing the formation of the Government, reporting that the aim of the Government is the restoration of an independent republic. The news agency adds that Austria has been reminded, however, that it cannot evade responsibility for participating in the war on the side of Germany.
