AUSTRIA AND GERMANY
STRAINED RELATIONS A TENSE SITUATION LONDON, June 19. (Received June 19, at 10.45 p.m.) The Manchester Guardian’s Vienna correspondent says: “ Outwardly Austro-German relations were never more strained. The newspapers of both countries are using violently, insulting language, and heavily armed Nazis and Heimwehr are massed on either side of the frontier in sufficient numbers to create a small scale war.
“ Underneath the surface, however, a strong current is running in favour of a rapprochement assisted by London and Rome, which have unofficially informed Germany that Austria will not allow the political quarrels to get out of hand.
“ The Austro-German tension caused the Hungarian Prime Minister (Herr Gambos) suddenly to fly to Berlin to interview Herr Hitler, The visit was made at the request of Signor Mussolini with the approval of the British Foreign Office.”
