French Guard Swiss
Food Inspectors to
Prevent Feeding TeutOns

Paris, March 21.-The French gov
ernment is making a special effort to
see that food importations into Swift
zerland shall not be interfered with
as long as they are applied solely to
the needs or the Swiss. Denys Cochin,
minister of blockade in Premier
Brands cabinet, has been in Berne
recently going over the entire Swiss
food question with members of the
Swiss government
Mr.. Cochin explained to-day that
the object of the French government
was to do everything possible to aid
in the ample provisioning of the Swiss
but to prevent at the same time any
margin being left for reexport to Ger
many. Germany's agents, he said,
were endeavoring to strip the Swiss
market of everything buyable.
ITO prevent reeXportation to Ger
many" said the minister, 1--WE have
adopted the following plan: We take
the imports into Switzerland for last
year, of grain for instance, and sub
tract from them the exports of grain
to Germany. The remainder tells the
bread requirements of the Swiss peo-
pie"
Mr.. Cochin said that the Germans
were paying about 1900 Swiss francs
a head for Swiss cattle. With de-
probation of 81 per cent. in the mark
this would make the actual price in
Germany about 1880 marks head.

State aid roads. The department was
held up last summer by decisions that
1t could not employ money for State
aid purposes except for that object.
