Swiss President
Asks u. S. Not to
Cut Off Exports
Says Nation Would Starve
If American Supplies
Failed

Berne, Switzerland, May 2.-There il
growing anxiety in Switzerland that the
United States may restrict exports &c
neutral countries. Edmund SchuIthess
President of the Federation, issued to-day
q warm appeal TO President Wilson anc
America but on both groups OF Euro
pean combatants.
President Schulthess denied cate
gorically that any imported supplies &c
to the Central Powers.
Switzerland" said the President
used TO buy principally IN America
France and Italy ITS most important
foodstuffs and industrial material. Other
commodities Switzerland has been
obliged during the war TO draw from
the Central Powers. Our circumstance
are such that neither of the two war
ring groups can take the place Of the
other in supplying our necessaries. This
fact is recognized by both the Entente
and Central Powers. Thus the eco
nonoic dependence of Switzerland rests
on both groups of belligerents.
before the war Switzerland import
cd 350. 900 tons of grain from Russia.
This importation has been completely
STONED by the closing OF the Darda-
nelies. The same is true for Rumania.
Switzerland, therefore, is compelled TO
procure her entire grain supplies from
America and Argentina to-day. for
us il is nothing less than question
of existence or non-eXistence. were
America 10 restrict or stop the eXpor-
tation Of grain 10 Switzerland, our po-
sition would be critical. Without eX-
aggeration. the danger OF starvation
would then be at hand
Concerning reports that foodstu1s
sent from the United states merely
passed through Switzerland TO the Cen
tral Powers, the President said:
81 am glad 10 have the opportunity
70 explode this fairy tale. Our imports
Of foodstuffs since the beginning OF the
war are not larger, but smaller, than
before. and as our population has not
decreased, il IS simply a question OF
arithmetic 10 show that such rumors
are in the realm Of fable. | can give
YOU the positive declaration that all
Inc American people not 10 allow their
small sister republic 70 meet the tragic
fate of starvation, which would be her
inevitable lot if her imports were re-
duced. He clearly outlined Switzer-
lands utter dependence not only on
the grain imported into this country
has remained here"
President Schulthess concluded: IT
seems 70 me out Of the question that
so high minded and just man as
President Wilson will lend his hand TO
a measure which would hit the Oldest
republic in the world hard and place
il in an extremely critical situation
