TENSE SITUATION
Germany and Austria
HEAVILY ARMED TROOPS
ON FRONTIER
POWERS’ WARNING
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 10.45 p.m.) London, June 19. The Vienna correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says that 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 war on a small scale.
Underneath the surface, however, a strong current is running in favour of rapprochement, assisted by London and Rome, who have unofficially informed Germany and Austria that they will not allow political quarrels to get out of hand.
The Austro-German tension caused the Hungarian Prime Minister, M. Gamhos, to suddenly fly to Berlin and interview Herr Hitler. The visit was made at the request of Signor Mussolini with the approval of the British Foreign Office.
