Abstract
Description
Enclosing copy of letter to Secretary and clippings from London Times; misleading news getting into press; tries to help U.S. correspondents in Vienna keep perspective, but even they are sometimes off track; article entitled "Dr. von Schuschnigg's Autocracy" gives impression Schuschnigg likes position of dictator, but he is not a dictator at heart and doesn't relish his position as head of Austrian government; [Rudolf] Hess in recent speech said cannon more important than food; food and exchange situation serious in Germany; Russian position becoming embarrassing; has said Russian cooperation should be used for maintenance of peace in Europe, but their recent mistakes make cooperation difficult; thinks Dunn will be amused by enclosed article "A Dictionary for Germans".
