IL DUCE IN VENICE --T~ Reaffirmation of Support for Independence of Austria Expected. BACKGROUND— Little Austria, with 8.000.000 peo ple, remnant of once powerful Mapsburg empire, has become inter mittent bone of contention between Germany, which would like to ab sorb its co-nationalists, and Italy, which depends upon Austria to keep possible menace of Germany from her door. Germany and Austria last Sum mer signed accords by which for mer agreed to respect the inde pendence of Austria. Mussolini has acted as Austria’s guardian angel, but simultaneously has been drawn to Germany by similarity of po litical ideologies and essential dis satisfaction of both with Europe's political status quo. By the Associated Press. VENICE, April 22.—Premier Musso lini met Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria today for a conference that political circles said would lead to a strong reaffirmation of Italian sup port of the independence of her northern neighbor. Well-informed sources declared that rone of a number of developments since the two statesmen met last year were such as to undermine the close relations between Austria and Italy. One of the developments currently considered in diplomatic circles In Rome was that Italy's growing friend ship with Germany might stay Musso lini's hand should Chancellor Adolph Hitler decide to wage a campaign for Increased prestige in Austria. Following separate luncheons. Schuschnigg and Mussolini met at the prefecture for the start of the conversations, which may later be shifted to Mussolini's yacht, Aurora, anchored in the harbor. The “Queen City of the Adriatic” gave the two a tumultous welcome such as that accorded to the doges of old when they ruled Venice as a proud city-state.» As they made a triumphal tour of the gaily decorated Grand Canal in a motor launch, tens of thousands cheered from both banks. The bal conies of the historic old palaces which rise from the water were hung with priceless tapestries and rugs. Tonight the two statesmen will dine together at the Palazzo Rezzonico, where the poet Browning once lived. Despite the atmosphere of cordi ality, Dr. Schuschnigg hoped to learn from Mussolini's own lips where Aus tria stands in the light of rapidly growing Italo-German co-operation and increased 'Italian diplomatic ac tivity in the Danubian Basin. »- ■ — - m —_ Parley •> (Continued From First Page.)

"I am not prepared to express an opinion at the present time with re gard to the methods of settlement." Open to Economic Conference. On international economic co-op •ration, Prime Minister Stanley Bald win said the government is willing to participate "provided a comprehensive Investigation showed it was likely to succeed and provided there had been adequate preparation.” Baldwin was asked by Taborite Ar thur Henderson whether he was "aware of the declaration of Herr Hitler that the German government was willing to participate in a new world confer ence.” "Yes, sir,” the prime minister re plied. "The government has seen Herr Hitler’s statement. The position of tho government on this matter has been made clear from time to time. "I may perhaps repeat it. Great Britain will participate, provided a comprehensive investigation showed it was likely to succeed and provided there had been adequate preparation.” Reiohsfuehrer Adolf Hitler Monday told Laborite George Lansbury in Ber lin that the Reich would be “very willing” to attend an international conference for "economic compensa tion and mutual understanding” if President Roosevelt or the head of an other major powder would call the ses sion. "Will the government take action to Implement the statement just made by the prime minister by getting in touch with the German government on this matter?” Henderson queried.

The Conservative Rupert De La Bere took up the questions. “Is the chancellor (Chamberlain) not compelled to admit responsibility for what has been going on on this basis during the last few weeks?” he asked. Apparently he referred to the recent visit to Washington of Walter Runcl man, president of the Board of Trade, and the presence In London of Nor man Davis, United States Ambassa dor-at-large. Davis came to London to attend the International Sugar Conference, but has been reported in close collabora tion with British officials on a variety of subjects. He has affirmed his mis sion would Include conversations on trade, disarmament and foreign policy matters. Reports Denied Here. But both Davis and United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull at Washington have denied reports that the Washington Government might propose an International conference. Premier Paul van Zeeland of Bel gium, who has been asked by England and France to sound out a means of doing away with International trade barriers, la to see President Roosevelt in June, however. It is recognized generally that trade barriers form a major obstacle to dis armament and lasting world peace. Chamberlain declined to reply to De la Bere’s query and likewise re fused to answer when Sir WlllUm Brass, Conservative, asked if one of the greatest difficulties concerning war debts was because “the United States will not accept bur imports into that country?” F. J. Bellenger, Laborite, Interjected this question: “If any settlement takes place will it be comprehensive and include those debts owing to this country?” Again the chancellor refused to an swer on the grounds the interrogation was hypothetical. STATUS DECLARED UNCHANGED. Administration officials said today the British-American war debt situ ation apparently was unchanged by British expressions of willingness to reopen discussions when there Is hope a settlement may be reached. Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain told the House of Com mons today his government was ready to resume negotiations “whenever cir cumstances are such as to warrant the hope that a satisfactory result might be reached.” It was recalled here that his word ing was almost Identical with that used In formal British notes to the United States since Great Britain ceased payments on its <5.000,000,000 debt after the Hoover moratorium in 1933. 12-Foot Ape Captured.
