VIENNA, March 21 (#).—As officially announced by the Austrian government tonight, the proposed Austro-German unn treaty will make a special exemp- tion, in its provision for elimination of tariff duties between the two countries, on certain goods upon which Austria will be permitted to collect a tariff tax until her industrial situation improves. The Austrian government announce- ment also sald each country would maintain its monopoly, so that German salt, matches, tobacco products, spirits and so forth will be excluded from portation, It was explained German industry stands on a higher level than Austrian and can produce more cheaply. Fo this reason Austria has stipulated she | be allowed either to levy a duty on cer- {tain articles 4n the manufacture of which she cannot compete with Ger- many or that imports of these goods do not exceed certain quantities.

By Cable to The Star. BERLIN, Germany, March 21.— Unable to keep it a secret any longer, | the German government now admits the full details of its contemplated cus- toms union with Austria. The new commercial treaty between the two countries contemplates almost a complete customs union. This will be reached without the slightest viola- tion of the war treaties, which forbid any change in Austrian sovereignty without the consent of the, League of Natfons Council, by the simple expe- dient of having the Austrian and Ger- man parliaments vote the same tariff schedules. A wall of equal height will thus be drawn about the two countries. Their common frontier will, however, have & separate regime. Ninety-five per cent | of all goods will be duty free. In order to protect Austrian industries, a few products will be dutiable for a limited period, these duties diminishing with Bie pascage of time and eventually will disappear altogether. Goes to Reichstag Soon. This treaty will be submitted almost immediately to the Reichstag, a :pechl session in April possibly being call for this . But although ntlfl- cation may be almost immediate, delay of a few months will ocour before the { tries, virtually carrying out the famous anschluss or annexation of Austria. In the important economic side this is true, as the Customs Union will un- doubtedly end the period of unlimited possibilities in Southeastern Europe in which it was possible for big powers to engage in intrigues relative to new reconstruction of the former Austro- In dealing with other | Hi Union Vierna really becomes, what one newspaper calls, a “second German capital.” This situation will be created entirely in a legal fashion. Other Nations to Be Invited. Moreover the fact that an offer will | be made to all European countries to | negotiate their entrance into the new customs territory makes it impossible to consider it as an aggressive political measure. This invitation, in the first place, is addressed to Hungary, Ru- mania, Jugoslavia and France, but will also be open to OCzechoslovakia, the state which will likely consider itself the tchlel victim of the new arrange- ment. Should other States wish to enter this bloc, the Germans would ask for the formation of a Common Customs Commission with them—something which the treaty clauses against touch- ing Austrian soverelgnty prevent being formed between Germany and Austria. The chiefest aim of this entire mat- ter is economic. signed for three years. Customs rev- enues for both countries will be pooled and divided according to the relative Ppopulation.

Lidove Noviny, leading newspaper, regards news as indicating an Austro-German demonstration against |- the peace treaties, looking toward some sort of union between the two countries. It construes the move as an outgrowth of the recent reconciliation and naval accord between Italy and France, which has dealt a severe blow to hopes for treaty revision formerly actively propagated by Italy. There is no doubt, says the paper, that a customs union between such un- equal partners—Austria has 6,500,000 population and Germany 60,000,000— would deprive Austria of her independ- ence, and it warns that the two coun- must be prepared for oppnnuon eement from other po eaty signatories who wm de- tees that the two countries’ intenf remain mere thaouflul declarations, and do not become pre. 1 steps toward a political md union. nndlrom mand econom! ’76 Veteran's Dlnghter Dies.
