Berne Switzerland, Dot. 6.-Presi-
dent Schultess, replying today to the
increasing criticism Of the government
for not attempting to keep down the
price Of coal thru a monopoly, told the
parliament that this solution had
proved impossible for Switzerland be-
cause German shippers had fatty re-
fused to furnish coal for other than
private Swiss firms and the German
government had declared that It could
not and would not bring pressure to
bear on the mine owners.
The president told parliament that
economic relations with the entente
were much complicated, but so far as
America was concerned the feeling
toward Switzerland from all reports
was favorable. .
"The latest. reports" he added, "are
that by November we will again be-
gin to import grain from America.
Americas good will will protect the in
terests Of Switzerland"
The president touched on Swiss
loans to Germany and the entente and
said that from all appearances the war
would last for long time yet.
