The disturbances which occurred in Vienna yesterday were the fault of the Jews and the Marxists, the Nazi press here says to-day, accusing them of provoking the trouble. Two Nazis have actually been wounded by Jews in one of the Jewish streets, it complains, and three Jews have been arrested for beating them.

Groups of Nazis broke into the Judengasse in Vienna, the general papers report, and started smashing up Jewish shops and beating the shopkeepers. The Jews got together and organised a self-defence, and drove back the invaders, with the help of other Jews who had come to their assistance.
