| dc.description | Austrian Government taking definite action in clearing out Nazi sympathizers in government offices, irregular military organizations, and youth organizations; despite trends outside Austria, Austrian leaders seem not unduly disturb ; progress slow in unification of military organizations; the Sturmscharen, Schuschnigg's private army, though smaller than the Heimwehr, represent a higher type and are opposed to unification; England's policy in treating with present German regime dangerous; Naval pact concluded; air pact next, and way paved for further concessions in way of credits and trade privileges; British Foreign Office knows situation, but must consider public opinion; London Times present appeasement policy not helping; British attitude complicates matters with Paris and Rome; Mussolini now determined to push ahead with Abyssinian program even to point of war, regardless of British objections; he doubtless feels if Hitler can get away with anything, so can he; [Ramsay] MacDonald reported planning trip to U.S.; England feels need of U.S. support and sympathy; Anglo-American cooperation usually a good thing, but if Englandcontinues present policy of appeasement, U.S. support should be withheld; German internal situation desperate; after taking half billion [marks] from private savings in January and half billion from private insurance companies in June, [Hjalmar] Schacht hard put to find more money to keep public works program going; [Anthony] Eden going to Paris today and then to Rome; he will have difficult time convincing Paris and Rome that England adheres to Anglo-French agreement and the Stresa program. | en_US |
