United States questions Germany Austria union legality
Secretary of State Cordell Hull said the United States would not recognize the legality of Germany's annexation of Austria for now. The move follows Austrian diplomat Edgar Prochnik's note that Austrian affairs are now handled by the German embassy. Hull said the US would treat the German mission as Austria's representative and manage practical trade contact, but stop short of recognizing the union's legality. He called developments a matter of serious concern and stressed sanctity of treaties and non intervention.
