A NEW AUSTRIA.

APPEAL TO CHANCELLOR.

REMOVAL OF SOCIALISTS

Received September 13, 12.30 p.m. VIENNA, Sept. 12

Two hundred and fifty years ago Prince Starhemberg inspired the Viennese to defend their city against _ the Turks. To-day the present Prince Starhemberg, the young leader of the Heimwehr Fascists, standing beneath, the statue of his ancestor, and adressing 1,000,000 of the Heimwehr appealed to Dr. Dolfuss to join the Heimwehr and throw from office Vienna’s - Socialist municipal Council. Thanking the assembly for honouring his ancestor, he turned to Dr. Dolfuss and said: “We are fighting together for a new Austria, but as long as Bolsheviks rule the town Hall Austria will never bo free to join with us. Run out the Bolsheviks. My Heimwehr will help you to rid Vienna of the ‘Reds’.”

DICTATORIAL REGIME.

ON ITALIAN SYSTEM.

VIENNA, Sept. e l2. It is generally expected that Dr! Dolfuss’s declaration of policy is a prelude to a dictatorial regime based on the Italian Fascist system. _ It is understood that if the Austrian Parliament meets again delegates will be drawn from a list of candidates prepared by the Government, embracing employers, employees, the professional classes, and scientific and other institutions. The speech, however, has somewhat disappointed the extremists, as Dr Dolfuss never once used the word Fascism, which Prince Starhemberg, the Heimwehr leader, has been trying hard to put in Dr. Dolfuss’s moutli in recent weeks. Instead, he adroitly announced the “death of Parliament.” _ The probable reason for avoiding the announcement of a full-blooded Fascist dictatorship was that France lias intimated that she cannot support a Fascist Austria.

A message published yesterday stated that the Austrian Chancellor, Dr Dolfuss, declaring his policy to a patriotic audience of 70,000 people, announced the termination of the era of Marxism and Capitalism in Austria in favour of authoritative leadership on a Christian and guild basis.
