No German Attack on Austria Contemplated Berlin, Aug. 6 Chancellor Adolf Hitler's plain Janswers on critical points of international policy in an interview with {the English journalist, Mr. D. Ward Price, are attracting great attention Mere to-day.
Citing Mr. Stanley Baldwin's recent words thet Great Britain's defence line now lies along the Rhine, the Fuehrer said: "It is likely" th French statesmen will go" even further some day and claim that France must be defended on the Oder River or that Fussia might as well claim that her defence line stretches to. the Danube. Under such cit= cumstances, it is dificult to reproach Germany it she secks her national [defence within her own boundaries.
Tnterrogated concerning the Austro-German relations, Herr Hitler replied: "We will not attack Austria but we Jcannot keep the Austrians from attempting to re-achieve the former union' with Germany. These states late separated only by a line. On both sides live people of the same race. If part of England were artificially Jcut off from the rest, who would wis Anschluss," however Is not a question' of the present day. I am Sure that the whole situation would bbe cleared up if secret balloting were held in Austria, but the Austrian Independence lies outside any dis jeussion and no one questions it"—Trans-Ocean Kuo Min.
