...just what the Dollfuss Government needed. A great memorial exhibition was set up in Vienna's Belvedere Palace, full of hats, gloves, maps, swords and other relics of Prince Eugene and Count von Starhemberg. Colored prints and picture books were issued. In mountain villages prizes were given for Austrian peasant costumes. Orators made speeches. And it worked. Week by week, hundreds of serious young Austrians who had felt that the only hope for their country was immediate political and economic union with Germany, have felt increasing affection for their own red-&-white-striped banner...
Turning of the Tyrol. At the end of April there were municipal elections in Innsbruck, capital of the Tyrol. Austrian Nazis polled twelve times their strength in 1931. Observers admitted that the Tyrol was probably 75% pro-Nazi.

...mean that he disapproves of all aspects of Naziism. Firmly as any brownshirt he believes that the Jewish-Socialist Government that ran Vienna for 14 years nearly ruined city and state. He has small use for parliaments. On the other hand as a Christian he has consistently opposed feeding Austrian Nazis their own medicine, such as terrorist raids and barbed wire concentration camps for political prisoners. There will be no open anti-Semitism from any Government of which Engelbert Dollfuss is Chancellor. More subtly, his Minister of Defense, elderly General Karl Vaugoin last week issued a general order.
