ARRIVAL IN LONDON SOCIALIST PLAN FAILS LONDON, Feb. 24. Sir Jvha Simon, the French Ambassador (M. Corbin), and members of the Austrian Legation welcomed Dr. Schuschnigg and Herr Berberwaldeuegg at Victoria Station. Three hundred Socialists and Communists, who intended to make a demonstration, arrived after the departure of the visitors. Dr. Schuschnigg paid a tribute to the impression the Prince of Wales had I rented in Austria. ELABORATE PRECAUTIONS Received Feb. 25, 11.20 p.m. London, Feb. 24. Uniformed police throughout the night patrolled the lobbies and corridors of Dr. Bchuschnigg’s hotel. Rarely have such precautions been taken in London to guard a foreign envoy, says 'he Daily Mail. The pulice al Victoria Station guarded every approach to the reserved space on the platform, and police stood shoulder to shoulder in two rows through which the visitors walked a short space to their cars. Scores of plain clothes men mingled with the crowds seeking Communist agitators. The Daily Telegraph's political correspondent says he gathers that an assurance will be given the British Ministers of Dr. Schuschnigg’s earnest desire to give the Austrian workers a full share in the government of the country. He will also announce that there is no discrimination in Austria against the Jews, and only those in volved in political action have lost their jobs in tl.e civil service.
