Abstract
Description
Has heard Frankfurter is in England and can be reached through the Embassy; Austro-German agreement under consideration; Austria will make no concessions; now believed in official circles that Germany will make declaration on Austrian independence and non-immixtion, without concessions from Austria; German objectives unchanged; agreement with Austria would neutralize Italy and pave way for closer cooperation between Rome and Berlin, mollify England, and weaken French position, leaving Germany free for expansion to the Northeast; agreement will be hailed by many as indication of peace, but it only puts off a conflict which is inevitable.
