SWISS GOVT HELPLESS
Couldn't Control Coal Price; Germany
Wouldn't Let It

Berne. Oct 5.-President Schulthess,
replying today to the increasing criti-
cism Of the government for not at
tempting TO keep down the price OF
coal this winter 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 il could
not and would not bring pressure to
bear on the mine owners
Had the Swiss government followed
its own inclinations and installed
coal monopoly, said the president
Switzerland would be in consequence
without coal President SclultheSs
pointed out the difficulty in establish
ing a monopoly. taking over the stocks
on hand and providing store houses
and yards in a few weeks He denied
that a monopoly had been vetoed in
order to enable a few dealers to amaSs
large profits. The president said he
understood that Germany's reluctance
to supply a monopoly was due to the
fact that there were German coal
agents in Switzerland who had direct
connections with the mines.
The president told parliament that
economic relations with the entente
were much complicated, but so far IS
America was concerned the feeling to-
ward Switzerland from all reports was
very favorable.
