The consolidation of the various Austrian organisations—pro- fessional, political, cultural and so on—in this country into the Free Austria Movement is an important step forward. The first public meeting which the new organisation held last week was largely attended, and Austrians in Austria got a full report of it through the B.B.C. Twelve societies were represented, including the Monarchists, who accept the condition that Austria should claim no more than her pre-1938 frontiers. The chief aims of the movement are to secure recognition of an independent Austria, as member of a Danubian Confederation, to form an Austrian fighting unit against Hitlerism, and to organise con- tinuous propaganda to Austria—all most reasonable objects deserving of every official and unofficial support in this country.
