DESERTERS HE
AUDACITY OF
BURGLARS
(By Associated Press)
ZURICH, Dec. 22.—All Switzerland
is amazed at the audacity of some
four hundred deserters from various
adjoining countries who. in solemn
conclave, have protested violently
against the measures recently adopt
ed by the authorities for controlling
the undesirable stranger element in!
the country.
Switzerland had believed that its
measures—the requirement of a bond
from those who had fled to the repub
lic to escape military duty, enforced
labor or internment in case of undes-'
irable conduct, etc.—were unusually
lenient, and regret has been expressed
in many quarters that the powers that
we had not seen fit to take sharper
steps against a stratum of the popu
lation which is looked upon here as
a necessary evil.
The Zurich deserters however,
many if not most of them of the an
archistic type, have adopted and sent
broadcast through Switzerland a reso
lution which calls the attention of the
socialist party to denunciation of de-!
lerers, declares that the measures 1
aken to control deserters here are
■aused by the “capitalistic character" ’ 1
>f the state, and are due to fear lest
he example of the deserters in re
using military service to their respec- 1
iv countries may strengthen the antt- 1
nilitary spirit among the working 1
•lasses. |
The deserters recommended that
be problem be solved, not by laws
gainst the deserters or for their con- 1
I
• ' • . v: y , •'?.; .
* •* T • r a ,
trol. but by the alteration of existing
citizenship laws so that all foreigners'
here would be embraced by them.
The resolution concludes with an
appeal to the Socialist party to take'
up the matter at once and do all in'
its power to solve the foreigner ques
tion along this last line. And the So-'
cialist papers, nearly if not all of
them of the violent, semi-anarchistic
type, have made themselves more un-!
popular than ever by espousing the
cause of the deserters.
Aside from the resentment which
the conservative press and citizenship!
express at the action of undesirable'
or at least uninvited guests in Switz-j
erland in attempting to dictate the'
treatment which they shall receivej
the affair arouses the gravest fears'
that it will give impetus to a move
ment to encourage the refusal to do
military duty in defense of Switzer
land's neutrality.
The deserters’ conference has for
the moment obliterated party. lines
in the great majority of the Swiss
press, and all but the radical Socialis !
tice papers join in vying with anoth-'
er in their denunciation of them.
“Impudence,” “Nerve.” “Audacity.",
“Presumptuous Foreigners,” are but
a few of the terms that are being ap-1
plied to the Zurich deserter delegates
and their action. |
