CRISIS IN AUSTRIA

FORMATION OF NEW CABINET. POLICE CHIEF AS LEADER, (United Press Association!) ’ (B? Electric .Telegraph—Copyright,) LONDON, September 26, The Austrian Cabinet’s sudden resignation on the eve of the meeting of Parliament has created art, exciting situation owing, to ..the increasing tension between, the. Heihwehr,. otherwise the Fascists, and the Schutzbund, otherwise the Socialists, which has given rise to reports of an. impending revolution. The Coalition parties asked the Vienna police chief (Herr-Schoeber) to form a Cabinet, and he has agreed provided-he continues as police chief. Herr Schoeber is expected, to deal firmly with- , the .Heimwehr’a- threat to march on Vienna on September 29, against. which.! the , entire. Schutzbund has been ordered to mobilise. Both the Heimwehr and the Schutzbund are armed and organised on military.-lines, Previous disarming efforts failed.— United Service. CHAMBER APPROVES CABINET. NO FASCISTS INCLUDED. VIENNA, September 26. (Received Sept. 27, at 9 p.m.) Schoeber has formed a Cabinet which largely reflects his own non-party outlook. The Chamber approved of the new Ministry ,by 84 votes to 69, the Socialists voting with the minority. The Ministry does not include a single leader of the Heimwehr, and this is interpreted as indicating that Herr Schoeber is confident of his ability to control the Fascist organisation,—Australian Press Association, FASCISTS AND SOCIALSTS. ' THREATENED CLASH AVERTED. VIENNA, September 27. (Received Sept. 27, at 5.5 p.m.) It Is now regarded as certain that the threatened clash between the Fascists and the Socialists on Snnda: has been averted.—Australian Press Association.
