Vienna:
In the crisis surrounding Chancellor Johann
Schober’s proposal to change the Austrian constitution to reduce the autonomy
of mostly socialist Vienna, Schober achieves a breakthrough. He secures agreement from the socialists to
the proposal; in exchange, the federal government will reduce Vienna’s
taxes. This crisis has been the source
of much of the recent agitation by the nationalist Heimwehr paramilitary. The Heimwehr has threatened to overthrow the
government if the constitutional change isn’t approved.
