AID FOR AUSTRIA
ALLIED REQUEST TO SWISS BLUNT REFUSAL HINTED Special Correspondent Rec. 9 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 21. Switzerland has been informed through diplomatic channels that the Allies are preparing an earnest request that Switzerland should help Austria financially in her reconstruction, says the Berne correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph. He quotes the leading Swiss newspaper, Neue Zuercher Zeitung, as saying that the request will be bluntly rejected and adds that Switzerland has spent hundreds’of millions of francs on Europe’s rehabilitation already and further credits would be impossible to Austria, whose industrial capacity has been severely damaged by the extraction of reparations.
