...Hungarian trade alliance with the Hungarian Government. He closeted himself for several hours with little Chancellor Dollfuss, then rushed off for Rome. In Trieste, earlier in the week, Italian police suddenly arrested three Nazis bound for Austria, seized trunks full of smoke and tear gas bombs, bundles & bundles of pro-Nazi propaganda. In Vienna Heimwehr troops suddenly assembled with rifles, full equipment and rations for three days, piled into motor trucks and departed. Such was Austria's first week after the bloody suppression of the Socialists (TIME, Feb. 26). What could be heard but not seen last week...
...youngest king in Europe, reached Brussels last week still in pale grey plus fours, after an all night ride from Switzerland. There are problems he must face at once. Communists were threatening a general strike. The Flemish separatists, always a noisy group, were supposed to have marked pro-Nazi leanings. Belgium's frontier defenses cannot compare with the new steel and concrete chain of France, but all young Leopold could hear last week was the sound of guns, fired one every half hour, to mourn the death of his father...
...responsibility, his tactics right along have been subtly to force Chancellor Dollfuss to do the things that Fey would do were he Chancellor. Austria's grey-jacketed private army, the Heimwehr, is divided into three groups.

The growing power of Major...
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. Since then has come Chancellor Dollfuss' personal success at the London Economic Conference, the patriotism campaign, the winning of the right to increase Austria's army, Germany's virtual embargo on tourists to Austria, her unbelievably stupid border skirmishing in which she alienated thousands by killing several Austrian frontier guards, and the active fortification of the Austrian frontier (TIME...
...Papen had definitely ended the growth of Hitlerism in Germany. Anxious not to repeat the same mistake, observers have this year watched the fight of little Chancellor Dollfuss of Austria against Naziism with marked scepticism. They know that Austria's 6,500,000 are still nearly 50% pro-Nazi. They know that as a matter of prestige Adolf Hitler, who once roamed the streets of Vienna hungry, is willing to spend time and money out of all proportion to Austria's real value to Germany to set up a Nazi Government on the Ringstrasse. The Schleicher-von Papen...
