Last fortnight Adolf Hitler stung Austria's Chancellor Engelbert ("Millimetter-nich"*) Dollfuss with a 1,000-mark visa charge for Germans entering Austria. Smarting, Dollfuss considered slapping back with a tariff wall against German goods that would have hurt both Germany and Austria. Instead, giving gentle tit for brutal tat, he restored the five-schilling visa charge for Austrians going to Ger- many, forbade any to do so except for urgent business reasons. Then he turned back to the serious business of fighting the Nazi pox within Austria...
Austria's little Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss last week fought on, lone effective champion against seeping German Naziism whose cells are sprouting not only in Austria, but Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and the German minorities of Jugoslavia and Rumania. To his aid unintentionally came Germany's Adolf Hitler. Affronted by Dollfuss' slap last fortnight to Nazi Envoy Hans Frank. Hitler countered last week with a 1,000-mark ($272.50) visa charge for Germans visiting Austria. This was a $3,000,000 slap to Austria's tourist business. But it squelched patriotic Austrians who have wanted a Middle European combine...
Against the German Nazi racket across the border. Austria's little Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss last week stoutly turned his bottle-shaped back, tried to stuff his ears. A special Hitler propagandist had come to Austria: Bavarian Minister of Justice Hans Frank, with two colleagues.

Nevertheless, Dollfuss permitted them to speak non-politically to 30,000 Austrian Nazis at a celebration of the 250th anniversary of the delivery of Vienna from the Turks.* The audience soon...
Fighting all the way, the government of square-jawed little Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss continued to oppose the relentless growth of Hitlerism in Austria last week. Fortnight ago came that decree so familiar to the last years of republican Germany: a ban on the wearing of political uniforms. Austrian Nazis promptly rushed to second-hand clothing shops and bought up all the old silk hats in sight, on the assumption that there could be no law against the wearing of a Cylinder, emblem of bourgeois respectability. For a few happy hours Viennese Nazis flaunted battered toppers above their sport suits until...
...first to leave the secret huddle of statesmen that has been discussing Germany's future in Rome for three weeks (TIME, April 17 et seq.) was the smallest and youngest Premier in Europe, five-foot, 40-year-old Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss. He took back to Vienna with him the assurance that Italy would back his Government to the limit providing it gave up any idea of political union with Germany. Italy carefully pointed out that such a union would reduce Austria to the status of a German State like Bavaria...
