Paris, Feb. 19.
Considerable anxiety has been aroused in France over recent developments in Austria The Government is understood to have sent a Note to London stressing the seriousness of the Austro-German situation and suggesting a prompt conference between French ana statesmen.
Andre Corbin, the French Am-dor in London, is believed to e been instructed to suggest to the British Government that a joint or atate demarche should be made to any on the lines that a continuance of the policy of confronting Europe with fait accomplish or intering in the internal affairs of other countries is unacceptable.
Germany, it is suggested, should be informed that both the British and French Governments are opposed to all acts of force.
It is believed that the French Government is pressing for a firm stand to be taken, and wants the actual terms of the proposed demarche to be discussed at the earliest possible date.
It is understood that the view of the French Foreign Office is that it would be a great mistake for either Great Britain or France to adopt a purely negative attitude in regard to the status quo of Austria in Central Europe.—Reuter.
