AUSTRIAN AFFAIRS
BRITAIN WATCHING. DESIRE EOR WORLD PEACE. LONDON, Friday. “The Government is following the news from Austria with deep concern,” said Sir John Simon, speaking..at Sheffield. “I am glad that martial daw has been withdrawn. We are watching Dr. Dollfuss’s efforts to heal the wounds of civil strife, and hope that this internal pacification will not be hampered by subversive outside interference.” Referring to Britain’s ever-increas-ing attention to international affairs, he said that the whole world had become a sounding board. “Far-off events profoundly affect this country’s prosperity. Britain’s fundamental desire to promote world pieace does not mean unjustifiable interference, but merely that her influence has become greater, because in a swaying, agitated world she has remained steady under a widely-based National Government.”
