POLICY OF AUSTRIA
CHANCELLOR'S STATEMENT "PEACE WITHIN AND WITHOUT" LONDON, Feb. 27 In a statement before his departure from London, Dr. Schuschnigg, Austrian Chancellor, defined Austria's policy as "peace within and without." He said Austria was perfectly abTe to exist as an independent State indefinitely. The dissolution of the Hapsburg monarchy had played havoc with Austria's economic life, he said, but prosperity would return if Austria enjoyed free-, dom from political upheaval. He admitted that 526 Socialists, 118 Communists and 1627 Nazis were still in Austrian prisons, but said 3000 had been pardoned and released, and 2000 others were under police detention. Sixty-seven death sentences were passed, of which 44 were commuted. Executions were carried out in expiation of "grave blood-guiltiness."
