OUT OF CHAOS

A NEW AUSTRIA CREATED

DR DOLFUSS'S DECLARATION

(United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)

VIENNA, September 24. Interviewed prior to going to Geneva, Dr Dolfuss objected to the description of the new Government as Fascist, adding: "We have created a new Austria out of chaos. Tell England that we are determined that we shall succeed. There is deep wisdom in Signor Mussolini's phrase, 'Fascism is not an exportable article.'"
