BERN, March 80 via Paris. March
3o).-The Swiss Parliament decided to-
day. So TO 90. that Switzerland should
make no move for peace al the present
time. This action was taken after
hearing tho majority and minority re-
ports OF commission appointed to
consider tho possibility of peace
move by Switzerland.
The majority of tho commission ad-
viscd against any action. The minor
ity suggested: first, that the Bundesrat
declare itself ready to take part in a
general conference of states immc-
diately after the war for the purpose
OF creating an International orSaniza-
tion for the peaceful settlement of all
political and economical international
disputes; secondly. that the Bundesrat
declare Itself ready, either alone or in
connection with other neutral states,
to offer its Good services for peace ne
gotiations whenever the circumstances
seem timely. or whenever its services
are requested.
The two reports were discussed, and
Parliament at first declared itself in
laNor OF tho majority report, with the
amendment that the Bundcsrat, the
Federal executive committee. Should
have free hand to act IL future de-
vciopmcnts render II desirable. The
minority group was dissatisfied, and
forced the question to a vote to-day
with the result that they were decis-
lively defeated. NJ. Hoffman, director
OF the political department. in support
ing tho majority report. said that the
petitions for a peace move by Switzcr-
land were we'll meant. but that the

Want HoIlweo to Remain,


Copenhagen July 1.-THE Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger says a communication
from the Austro-Hungarian govern
ment has been received in Berlin de-
claring that DIR. Won Bethmann-Holl-
weg's continuance In office as chancel
lor IS Of importance and his retirement
possibly a fatal mistake.
The telegram was obviously deS-
patche ed before the decision on tbs
Prussian franchise was taken, which
Is generally interpreted in Berlin as a
sign that DR. Won BethmannHollwes
would remain.
The Lokal Anzieger attributes the
telegram to Count CZernin, the Austro
Hungarian foreign minister.
A despatch to the Politiken reports
that the crown prince held an audience
with representatives Of all the political
parties. including the Socialists. He
had long conferences with Herr Won
Payer, Progressive: DR.. Gustave
Stresemann. National Liberal: Ma
thias Erzberger of the centre; Cont
Won Westarp. conservative, and DR.
Eduard David. Socialist.
The executive committee @ the cen
ire believes Won Bethmann-H 'lweg IN
suited to conduct peace negotiations
and SAYS he should be replaced before
an ultimate peace conference.
It is indicated that the centre lead
ers believe the chancellor may remain
for the present. but should resign be
fore the actual peace conference. This
corresponds with the declaration OF
Germania. the centre organ, asserting
that Won Bethmann-Hollweg will &C
cept a resolution on war aims Of the
majority parties in the reichstag.
