GERMANY EXPLAINS THE CUSTOMS UNION.
(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received April 1, 11.30 a.m.) BERLIN, March 31. Dr Curtius. replying to Mr Henderson and M. Briand, declared that eco nomic anxiety and distress had brought the Austro-German Governments together, and had impelled them to arrange the Customs pact. Both countries expected to extend and improve their trade and industry by equalised Customs and trade conditions, which did not hamper trade in tercourse. Both realised that even the mere appearance of violation of the independence of Austria must be avoided. “In view of the structure of our pact, it is difficult to understand how Austria’s independence can be affected,” he says. “Thus far no one has attempted to prove the allegations that the plan violates treaties.”
