AUSTRO-GERMANY.
THE MITTEL EUROPA IDEA. SOME HOME TRUTHS. Received May 17, 1.30 p.m.*
Amsterdam, JJay 10. Herr Harden, in the Zukunft, argues that the vital interests of Austria and (icrmany are divergent. He declares that the "Mittel Europa" idea is a brilliantly organised folly. Austria wants meat and raw material and also money to purchase them. Victorious battlefields will not yield money. She also needs freedom to make agreements with Powers which are Germany's enemies and not Austria's. She needs American friendship most of all, and longs 'for peace with America.
The Vorwaerts declares that the Austro-German alliance will continue only if based on the people's willing consent. There is little sign of this consent in Austria, where Germany is unpopular owing to the Pan-German propaganda.
