WHY DR. SCHUSCHNIGG FELL
VAIN ATTEMPT TO FORESTALL HITLER DESIRE FOR UNHAMPERED VOTE Press / ■P.lflcftrie Tn lQ tf vn nb—flonyrigbl (Recd This Day, 10.35 a.m.) LONDON, April 5. Why did Dr Schuschnigg (late Chancellor of Austria) resort to the plebiscite which led to his downfall? The “Manchester Guardian’s’’ former Vienna correspondent, as a matter of historical interest, answers: “Because D*Schuschnigg knew that the idea behind Dr Inquart’s mission was that he should slowly prepare a plebiscite which, if cleverely manipulated and backed up by .necessary pressure, would yield a majority for Nazi Germany. Dr Schuschnigg, to forestall this, decided to hold a plebiscite while a free vote for an independent Austria was still possible, but he counted without Herr Hitler.
