Corbin, with members of Ihe Austrian legation, welcomed Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg, Austrian Chancellor, and Herr E. Berger Waldenegg at Vic toria station. Three hundred Socialists and Communists, who intended to stage a demonstration, arrived after the departure of the visitors. Dr. Schuschnigg pai'l tribute to the impression the Prince of Wales created as the result uf his visit to Austria. Uniformed police throughout the night patrolled the lobbies and corridors of Dr. Schuschnigg’s hotel. “It is but rarely that such precautions are taken in London to guard a foreign envoy,” says the “Daily Mail.” Police at Victoria station guarded every approach to the reserved space on the platform. They stood shoulder to shoulder in two rows, through which, the visitors walked the short space to their cars. »Scorcs of plainclothes men mingled with the crowds seeking Communist agitators. The * * Daily Telegraph’s ’ ’ political correspondent gathers that assurances will be given to British Ministers of Dr. Schuschnigg’s earnest desire to give Austrian workers their full share in the government of their country. He will also announce that there will be no discrimination by Austria against Jews. Only those involved in political action lost their positions in the Civil Service.
