Abstract
Description
Informed by Foreign Minister [Egon] Berger-Waldenegg Austria had had reply from Germany regarding non-interference pact; not altogether unsatisfactory, but Germany posed a number of questions; was inclined to think Germany merely stalling until London conversations; German attitude similar to that of Soviets before recognition; they want recognition of equality and armaments without conditions, leaving impression they will be reasonable afterward; article of Lord Lothian [Philip Henry Kerr, 11th Marquis of Lothian] in Times Feb. 1 an indication of how German promises are taken seriously; reply to Lothian article by [Wickham] Steed in Times of Feb. 2 shows how to maintain proper perspective.
