Abstract
Description
Reports on situation of Jews in Austria; alleged discrimination in official, professional, and business circles; Dollfuss made no public declaration against discrimination, but stopped it wherever he found it, and he had support of Jews; Schuschnigg thought to be somewhat anti-Semitic, but he assured Jewish leaders that rights of Jews would be respected; Austria needs good will of other countries to maintain independence and a charge of anti-Semitism would cost her their friendship.
