Abstract
Description
Major developments in Austro-German relations expected soon; Hitler now reported to have said he will accept Austria's conditions - German recognition of Austria's independence and non-interference in her internal affairs - as basis for modus vivende, and will make public statement to that effect; [Kurt] Schuschnigg says he will enter into no agreement with Germany without first conferring with Mussolini, but Mussolini likely to be agreeable; Germany wishes to make sure of English and Italian neutrality if not their support, and must revise her program, but her ultimate aims remain unchanged; now trying to force plebiscite in Danzig to increase Nazi control; French-English démarche in Berlin on Danzig shows Germany in that direction too she must soft-pedal.
