Marshal Goering's Organ Is Temporarily Banned Vienna, Feb. 16.

The new era of close understanding between Austria and Germany opened with a most serious incident to-day.

The "National Zeitung" in Essen, considered the mouthpiece of Field-Marshal Hermann Goering, Reich Aviation Minister, ¡announced this morning the forthcdthing unification of the home policf. (Gleichschaltung) of all German peoples within the borders of the two German countries, and even hinted that it might be necessary to reduce the Austrians to obedience.

The authorities here banned this mornings edition of the paper and it is learned that Herr Stephan Tauschitz, Austrian Minister in Berlin, has been instructed to draw Herr Hitler's. attention to this incident.

Later the ban on the paper was lifted.—Havas.
