BERLIN, July 8. (AP)—A fight to
the finish against the Austrian
government of Chancellor Dollfuss
was proclaimed today by Otto Die-
trich, German press chief, who de-
clared: “Agreement with the pre-
sent Austrian government is im-
possible so long as suppression
exists.”
  Every effort to effect a truce
with Austria is a stab in the back
of the Austrian Nazis.” he said at
a press reception for Theodore Ha-
bicht, Austrian Nazi leader, in re-
ferring to the recent action of the
Dollfuss government outlawing Na-
zis in Austria.
  Habicht called Chancellor Doll-
fuss a “separatist,” and predicted
failure for his fight against the
Hitlerites.
  “It is impossible to incorporate
Austria into the Reich today,” he
said. “However, when an inner
accord between the nations  is
reached a formal anschluss (Aus-
tro-German union) will be super-
fluous.”
  The arrest of leaders of the Nazi
movement in Austria, the declara-
tion of a tourist boycott against
Austria in germany, a series of
bombings in Austria ascribed to
the Nazis, the arrest in Vienna of
Habicht, and the retaliatory arrest
in Berlin of the Austrian press at-
tache, Dr. Erwin Wasserbaeck, are
ingredients of the feeling between
the Berlin and Vienna govern-
ments.
  The clash with Austria, osten-
sibly over the treatment of his
followers in Austria, marks Chan-
cellor Hitler’s first independent
sally into the foreign political
field.
  Dietrich denounced a section of
the German press for a concilia-
tory attitude toward Austria. It
was recalled that the industrialist
Allgemeine Zeitung was banned
for three months for criticising the
tourist boycott against Austria.
The ban was later modified.
