AUSTRIA AND GERMANY
PROPOSED CUSTOMS UNION DR CURTIS’ STATEMENT BERLIN, Alay 10. Dr Curtius, at a Foreign Press Club dinner, replying to opponents of the Austro-German Customs Union, said that nobody had yet shown that it would in any way violate treaty obligations. The motive was entirely economic. Germany must find markets in order to get reparations money and overcome the terrible distress of the people. Th? Austrian and German delegates at Geneva would welcome any alternative plan for restoring European economic life and were ready for the most far reaching co-operation with any other nation with this object. There never was a vestige of an idea of domination in connection with the proposed union, which would in no way affect. Australia’s independence.
