AUSTRIAN LOANS
ATTITUDE OF GERMANY RECOGNITION REFUSED IN PRINCIPLE BRITISH NEGOTIATIONS (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, May 30. (Received May 30, at 9.30 p.m.) The Berlin correspondent of The Times says that the negotiations being conducted by Sir Frederick Leith-Ross, Chief Economic Adviser to the British Government, with the Economic Ministry have disclosed Germany’s refusal in principle to recognise guaranteed Austrian loans as German obligations, which suggest that something might be paid but no offer has yet been forthcoming.
The Germans mentioned several precedents for their attitude, including Britain not accepting responsibility for Boer debts after the South African war, but it can be pointed out that' Germany did not regard the anchluss as a conquest.
