Increasing Nazi activity in the Danubian basin may lead to concerted action by Austria and Hungary to stop pro German propaganda, it was reported here today as Government heads awaited the arrival of Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, according to the Havas News Agency.
Schuschnigg was expected late today from Vienna for conferences with Premier Koloman Daranyi, Foreign Minister Koloman Kanya and other Government officials.
Political observers intimated that an Austro-Hungarian-Czechoslovak lineup against Nazism in the Danubian basin was not unlikely. They based their statements on the theory that Italy–preoccupied with her African colonies and anti-British polemics–has given up the idea of acting as a backstop to German advances in Austria.
The recent discovery of an alleged Nazi plot here was believed to have shown the Hungarian Government the necessity for unified action.
