THE ONLY HOPE.
AUSTRIA ’S SALVATION
UNION WITH GERMANY. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, April G. The. Daily Express special -correspondent at Vienna states: i “Vatican influences are a powerful factor in Central Europe. They-have abandoned the formerly cherished' plans for the ultimate restoration of the Hapsburgs in Austria and Prince Ruppreeht in Bavaria. Instead, the Vatican is supporting the union of Austria with Germany. This would add four million Roman Catholic Austrians to Germany, making the Roman Catholic population of Germany. 45 pen cent, of the whole, which is believed to be sufficient, with the aid of one other party, to give Catholics political dominance in Germany.
‘ ‘ Austria is at present in a very serious plight with three hundred thousand unemployed drawing a dole out of a total population of six millions. Austria is being throttled by Czecho-Slo-vakia’s, Poland’s and Jugo-Slavia’s fantastic prohibitive duties. Ninety per -cent, of the Austrians regard union with Germany as their only hope of salvation .from strangulation and ruin. ’ ’
