KING FAR DISTANT
i
Believes Restoration of
Hapsburg Will Have to
Wait for Years.
Hr the Associated Press.
VIENNA. April 9.—Chancellor Kurt
von Schuschnigg told the Associated
Press last night restoration of the
Hapsburg monarchy will have to wait
for many years and registered his
belief world rearmament is preparing
the way for disarmament.
Austria cherishes peace above all
else, the chancellor emphasized, and
it has no desire to undertake anything
like restoration of the House which
once ruled the Austro-Hungarian
Empire if there was a possibility peace
would be jeopardized.
(The Little Entente nations of
Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Ru
mania—parts of which were included
in the Austro-Hungarian Empire up to
the end of the World War—long ago
expressed open opposition to restora
tion of the monarchy in Austria.
Otto Is Heir-Apparent.
(Dark-haired and haughty Archduke
Otto, 25-year-old exile, who lives with
his mother, ex-Empress Zita, in
Steenock-Erzeel Castle in Belgium, is
heir-apparent to the non-existent Aus
trian throne.)
The present Austrian government,
Schuschnigg said, will not think of
recalling Archduke Otto until the
world is safe for such a development
in the Danubian Valley. Under the
most favorable circumstances, he said,
that will be many years.
"I do not expect our work in building
up this state." the chancellor declared,
“will be brought to a climax at an early
date by restoration of the Hapsburgs.
“I never have made a secret of the
fact that it is my personal belief that
Austria's destiny is bound up in the
ultimate restoration of the Hapsburgs.
Says Restoration Can Wait.
“But the labor of completing the
state, making it function in a manner
best serving the people, has nothing
to do with the form of government. So
restoration is a matter which can wait;
it may have to wait a number of years.
“First, a majority of Austrians will

have to be convinced that restoration
is desirable.
“Furthermore, I say openly and
freely that if I have any control over
the destinies of Austria at this un
certain date when restoration may be
feasible it will not be attempted if
there is the least possibility of jeopard
izing peace.”
Schuschnigg, although chancellor
of a relatively weak nation in the
heart of a tense Europe, said he was
optimistic over the prospects of pre
serving peace and unalarmed by re
armament.
“Rearmament of nations is not
necessarily a prelude to war,” he as
serted.
Believes “Fever” Will Abate.
“I believe the rearmament fever
will abate in a year or two, when
supremacy in the field of armament
will have been obtained by the richest.
“The poorer nations will have to
quit rearming; then the states will be
ready to consider disarmament.
"I suspect that, with the exception
of one or two powers, the height of
rearmament activity has been reached.
“Within a shor‘ time the world will
be ready to listen to disarmament
suggestions—perhaps such plans as
we understand are being worked out
in America.
"At any rate, the way is being pre
pared for disarmament.
“But it should not be contended
that armaments are all bad. The
making of arms lifted industry from
the economic crisis ana gave the
world the impulse which started it
on the way to recovery.”
Sehuschnigg, who works at the
desk of the late Chancellor Engelbert
Dollfuss next to the room where Doll
fuss died in a Nazi coup in 1934, said
i he was not concerned by the possibil
ity of any internal disturbance In
Austria.
Cites Two Great Missions.
He asserted he had two great mis
sions:
1. To maintain the independence of
Austria.
2. To make Austria prosperous.
Austria is surrounded by powerful
neighbors, he said, ‘‘but I am confi
dent none is planning expansion."
In connection with Germany, the
chancellor declared, "every one is
doing his best to live up to the friend
ship agreement of last July.”
He denied reports circulated out
side of Austria that his country was
about to seek a new international
lean, saying:
"We are living within our budget;
no new loan is in sight.”

Kenya Report* Unconfirmed Plana
for Preaton Farm Now
Being Renovated.
By Wirt less to The Star.
LONDON, April 0 (NANA.).—
There have been rumors in the British
East African Colony of Kenya that
the Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Wallis
Simpson are planning to buy an es
tate there and to spend part of each
year in the colony after their mar
riage. However, nothing definite is
known about the report and no direct
communications have been received
In the colony from either the duke or
Mrs. Simpson.
This information was obtained from
Mrs. Elspeth Huxley, well known Eng
lish novelist and writer, who arrived
In London from Kenya last night.
Mrs. Huxley’s husband, Gervas Hux
ley, Is a cousin of the famous novelist
and essayist, Aldous Huxley. One of
her recent books Is ‘‘White Man’s
Country,” describing life In Kenya.
"I don’t know whether there Is any
thing In the story,” said Mrs. Huxley,
‘‘but the reports were current In the
colony when I was there, and I am
Inclined to think that some founda
tion for the rumor lies in the fact that

THE TORCH THAT BLAZED
ON THE MEADOWS ....
Passengers on the trains that traverse the Jersey
meadows tried to solve the mystery. The mystery of a
sign bearing that not-so-strange device: “P. O. N.”
For 14 years, throughout the long dry interlude, this
P.O.N. electric sign was a hopeful sign. A sign that
Feigenspan was waiting ... waiting... waiting. Waiting
for the word that would release P. O. N. Beer, to satisfy
anew the thirst of those good people it had served so
diligently and so long.

Preston, In Kenya Is now being put In
order after having been closed for
some time.
"Mrs. Preston, known to her friends
as ‘Klkl,’ Is the widow of Jerome Pres
ton, who died a few years ago. They
had a magnificent house on their
Kenya farm and she was a great
friend of the Duke of Windsor, who
visited her when he was In Kenya.
"After the death of her husband,
Mrs. Preston returned to America and
lived on Long Island, but, about a
month ago, she returned to Kenya and
began putting her house in order. She
said she had received an offer from
an Individual who wanted to rent the
house, but she would not name the
individual.
"She is still in Kenya, but plana to
go to Hollywood, where her daughter
hopes to make a film career."
