Austrian People Must Decide East 0r West

B! G. l. IIODINFIELD VIENNA. July 10 (AP) Russian refusal to pag-tltgpate 1n a general European recovery pig" as outlined in the Marshall pro- DOSI] brought the Ami-flan people face to face with a. question the answer to which they feel will seal the fate of their country- "shell We lillTh l0 iii" cast or the west?" Most Austrian; rule out, any pug. sibiilty of following n middlg road. They sec no hope of any-basic agreement oebwecn the Western owers and l-tlwslc and the count. ‘fies within the Soviet orbit. They feel that Austria, g5 a buyer be. tween the east and west, will in reality become the first battlefield in a war they believe lp¢\l\,gb1g_ The Government and s vast ma. jority of the people line up with the west. as personified by Britain and the United States. for ideolo. gical reasons. But many of the people do not agree with the Government that such an allegi. ance is practical. Austrians know what it will mean to the: economy if they turn to the west and are rebuffed from the East, For centuries Austmrs mar- kets have lain to the east in Hun- gary. Romania. Bulgaria and Yug- oslavia. ‘ Many A-usti-‘sns are certain that Communism and western capital- ism represent an irresistible force and an immovable object which some day will clash in a third world war. They see their country as the first battleground.

tions.

Then the Minister. who had been late coming into the Cham- ber and hat‘. missed second read- ing, gave these responses to Op- position statements and allega- tions made during the debate:

1. He took the "strongest ex- ception" to charges that‘ agree- ments with the individual prov- inces had been negotiated ‘sec- retly." And discussions with any one Province were promptly made known to all other Provinces. both those coming to terms and

those not.

2. The Provinces comini! to agreement with the Dominion were not surrendering the

"slightest" of their constitutional powers. ‘Their taxing nowers re- msined “intact" and they vrcrc merelv renting to the Dominion taxation ficicls wlfch some auth- m-mes held should be exclusively assigned to the FedersPGovern- ment.

3. The Dominion Government still could see no use in coiling a Dominion - Provincial conference

with no agenda upon "lhic to confer. One would be called if Ontario and Quebec-Abe two

dissenting Provinces-would indi- cate a-basis upon which to hold another such conference.

‘The Chamber then resumed studv of Defence Department estimates.

largely a repetition of previous debates on this tangled problem, today's discussion featured a tri- narty request. that the Federal Government “pocket its Pflde" and reconvene the Dominion-Pro- vincial conference. which col- lapsed in disagreement in 1945, in :till smother effort to achieve an ever-all agreement vrith all Prov- mess.
