GERMANY AND AUSTRIA
CUSTOMS UNION PACT. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. COPYRIGHT.) (Recd. Mav 11, 10 a.m.) BERLIN, May 10. Dr. Curtius, at the Foreign Press Club dinner, replying to the opponents of the Austro-German customs Union said that nobody had yet shown it would in any way violate any treaty obligations. The motive was entirely economic. Germany must find markets in order to get reparations money, and overcome the terrible distress of the people. The Austro-German delegates at Geneva would welcome any alternative plan restoring European economic life, and were ready for the most far-reaching co-operation with any other nation with this object. There never was a vestige of idea of domination in connection with the proposed union, which would in no way affect Austria’s independence.
