...Jesuit-trained Chancellor Schuschnigg, on returning to Vienna from Budapest last week, ingeniously straddled: "Like all human enterprises, the League of Nations has in no wise fulfilled its initial aims. We consider it our right and duty to try to bring new life to the great old League. . . . We have never doubted that the Rome Protocols are our best orientation. . . . An anti-Communist pact long has been a practical reality for Austria and Hungary...
