The Ambassador in Italy ( Long ) to the Secretary of State

98. My 94, August 25, 7 p.m. In a conversation today with Suvich I asked him about the situation in Austria. He replied that it seemed quieter there and probably more favorable but was certainly not disposed of; that it was questionable whether Germany had modified or as he expressed it “attenuated” her broadcast interference but it was certain that (1) the air propaganda raids (2) instigation of forceful opposition to Dollfuss had both ceased and (3) that the danger had probably been averted of German incitement of armed opposition to the Dollfuss German Government on the part of expatriated Nazis in German concentration camps along the Austro-German border.
