My proposal that countries aco- nomieally bound to one another should sffect regional rapproachements found unanimous assent and indorsement. As for Austria, the matter was par- ticularly urgent, and as Germany had already approached other states with a similar proposal, it was only natural that we begin negotiations with Ger- | many. on this basis. Our_discussions opened the way not only for further negotiations between Austria and Germany. but also for be- ginning negotiations with other coun- tries ‘concerning ‘& customs and eco- nomic “anglelchung.” or an squaliza- tion. adaptation, harmonization and as- similation of. economic programs. Project 1aft Unsettied, No'treaty was concluded: nothing. In fact, was done except to outline the purpose and contents of & treatv to he brought into existence some time in the future. The lines along which our negotis- tions were conductsd and the plan whase outline we. drew up were based on the retention and preservation of full sovereignty_to each of the par- tieipating states..and they have for their goal the creation of a full and free pxchange of goods between ‘there states, 5 Az nefther Germany nor Austria. throiigh the conclusion of & treatv on such a basis, would surrender any of her sovereignty, the obligations these two states have to any would not, be affeeted in any way Tn further negotiations all export. im- port. and transit prohibitions are to be eliminated from the commercial rela- tions of the twn states, sand sommon engtoms law and common customs tarifl scale .are to be agreed upon, while s/ the same time the independence of each of the two states in the conclusion of trade treaties and the administration thelr respective customs s main- tained.

Austria’s sx- change of goods with ner immediate neighbors is algost equally strong, and naturally they are Interested in revival of the close connection with Austrian business. Germany has no reason fo 4 herself economically with Austria. She has. rather, everv reason to intensify and inerease her exchange of goonds in all directions. The tone of the Vienna eonversations moved within the frame of the pan- Europa idea. though, at the same' time, the conversations revealed and indicat- #d the way by which this idea could be realized. namely, throrgh reconstruction of Furope's business on a regional basis They are therefore in accord with the ich tn 1925 led the League of to make recommendations fo Austria’s neighbors thal. they make economic coneessions: to her.
