SWISS BAN BOLSHEV1KI
The Swiss government is determ
ined th it Bolshevism shall he barred
from the cantons of tne Swiss Con
IVration, reports an Associated Press
correspondent writing from Geneva.
The Federal Council is firmly de
cided to close hermetically all the
doors of Switzerland to the insti
gators of disorder and to their dan
gerous propraganda, and in this way
President Calender outlined the gov
ernment attitude to the Associated i
Press correspondent. ‘Switzerland,”
he went on, “will continue to take
the most energetic measures against
all oad and subversive elements]
coming from abroad and who are
still on her territory."
The president asserted that the
efforts last month to provoke a gen
eral strike in Switzerland had a
revolutionary tendency. The strike
was undertaken to enforce a pro
test by the Socialist committee
against the sending of Swiss troops
to Zurich to maintain order.
"This movement has completely
failed,” said President Calender, “in
presence of the firmness of the Fed
eral Council which made it under
stood that it would not tolerate
acts which would not be in accord
with our democratic and constitu
tional institutions.
"The defeat of this movement is
due also to the fact that the Federal
Assembly immediately met and de
clared by a great majority that it
would support the Federal Council
in all measures against anti-consti
tutional intrigues and invited the
Council to act with the greatest
: energy against anyone who tried to
' disturb public order or the quiet
of the country.
“Finally the leaders understood
that the whole Swiss people would
not acquiese in Bolshevism. The
spirit of our troops is excellent and
their attitude showed clearly to the
agitators that no subversive pro
paganda whatever could prevail
against the common sense and re
solution of our population. Bolshe
vism represents evidently at pres
ent peril for Europe because the
people are unaware that Bolshevik
power in Russia means the destruc
tion not only of the middle classes
but of all Russian intellectual, moral
and material patrimony.
“Switzerland, more than anyone
else, as we are the immediate neigh
bors of Germany and Austria, is di
rectly interested that anarchy does
not install itself there. The Allies
cannot be indifferent' to the perils
in which Switzerland and all Europe
would be plunged by Bolshevism in
jthe Central Powers. For this reason
I the Allies intend to contribute to
I send food to their former enemies.
Switzerland will do her best to
facilitate this humane work, per
suaded that, in this way, she will
| l)e able to disperse the peril of
i revolution.”
J
NOT NEEDED NOW
j Plans for the dismantling of the
American naval stations in and
jaronud Queenstown are going for
ward rapidly. Time will be require !
to remove the base hospital at
l Whitepoint, and much work will oe
involved in removing the many lug
1 warehouses which were shipped
from America and set up in record i
time Other important parts of the
Amerean plan include wireless sta-;
tions at Queenstown and Aglada |
and many hutments.
American officers and men have!
I
made a deep impression on the i
people of Queenstown and in other;
parts of South Ireland, says an Asso- ■
ciatcd Press correspondent, writing!
from Ireland, and relations gener-‘
ally have been of the most cordial;
nature. This is proved by the factj
that a number of weddings have al-1
ready taken place, and more than j
one American sailor has promised to
return for the girl he must leave j
behind. I
i
Queenstown has prospered greatly!
since the station was established but;
the people declare their regret in!
; seeing the Americans depart is be
cause they have become accustomed j
to their presence and like them for;
the fine young fellows they are. j

NOTED DEAN
I DISCUSSES LEAGUE
| LONDON'.—Dean Inge of St.
; Paul’s Cathedral, speaking at a
! meeting here of the British-Italian
! League, recounted i conversation
he had recently with an intelligent
Japanese about the League of Na
tions.
The Japanese asked the Dean if
he thought the league would suc
ceed. “I don’t know,” the latter
replied, “but I think we should
itry it.”
I “Then,” Dean Inge went on to re
bate, “he said: ‘We Japanese con
sider that we are a highly civilized
j nation, yet if we want to go out
as colonists to the United States
I or Australia we are prevented from
| doing so by laws. I want to ask
I whether if we consent to disarm and
I join a League of Nations these disa
bilities will be removed or not?’
“I was obliged to say, ‘I am afraid
not. That is a workingman’s ques
j tion, and as long as the Japanese
workman gives better value for his
wages than the European or Ameri
can or Australian workman, they
will shrink from no violence to keep
you out.’ To that the Japanese re
plied, ‘Well, then, why should we!
disarm and join a League of Na- ’
tions?’
■ % I
“That,” commented the speaker,
“is just one of the difficulties that;
beset us. There are a good many ■
supporters of the League of Na-1
tions who are by no means lovers!
of peace at heart. They only want,
another kind of war than that thru |
which the worhf has been passing.” |
Dean Inge said the League of!
Nations was a remarkable instance!
of a Utopian dream which appar- j
V !
entlv was about to materialize. j
