By the Associated Press. ‘THE HAGUE, July 18.—Prepared to determine the legality of the projected Austro-German customs union, the Permanent Ceurt of International Jus- tice will convene Monday morning to hear arguments advanced by the pro- ponents of the proposal. Seeking to design a measure that would revitalize the waning industries of Austria and Germany, statesmen of the two powers have been negotiating a treaty under which, for customs pur- poses, Germany and Austria would be united. Treaty Violation Charged. Following announcement of this fact early in the Spri some of the Euro- pean nations launched vigorous protests, charging violation of the terms of the St. Germain and Versailles treaties. On representations by the League of Nations, Germany and Austria agreed to appeal to the World Court for a de- cision as to the legality of their treaty. Under the terms of the treaties of St. Germain and Versailles, Austria pledged herself not to contract alli- ances under which her soverelgnty would be sacrificed or concessions would be granted to one nation exclusively. 1922 Loan Proviso. This was in 1919 and it was followed three years later by a proviso rider at- tached to a loan to Austria which France claims to be an “interpreta- tion” of a clause in the treaties pro- | hibiting union of Germany and Austria Germany and Austria take the posi- tion that the 1922 loan proviso falls short of being interpretative. inasmuch as only France signed it. They hold the signatures of the other powers are necessary to validate the clause as in- terpretative. France and the other powers have taken the stand that the customs union violates the treaties because it is a fore- runner to anschluss, or political union. Austria and Germany have countered | with the argument that nowhere does international law prevent customs agree- ments. Attention World - Wide. In view of the purported French de- mands that Germany forego the union as part of the price of Prench financial assistance in the present troubled situ- ation, the case is attracting world-wide attention. particularly since Germany could with grace forego the customs union should The Hague Court uphold | the French argument Fifteen judges will hear the case, among them being Frank B. Kelloge of the United States and Minichero Adachi of Japan, who will preside. France'’s case will be presented by Jules Basdevant, Paris law professor, and Jnoeph Plu!
