SWISS PUT CHECK UPON UNDESIRABLES

smuggled themselves across the bor-
der and have failed to return. Once in
Switzerland, they have been able TO
hide because of the lack Of control over
foreigners.
That all is to be changed. Every
person crossing the border at other
than the ordinary points where IRON
clad passports will be required will be
numbered. If he fails to return, the
police will be put upon his trail. He
will have little chance of escaping, for
without the right kind Of credentials
he is unable to obtain bread. A bread
card today is more important even
than the money with which to pur-
chase it-and bread card is issued
only on presentation of Identification
papers.
The hotel at which the newcomer
stops, the pension thAt takes him in.
the private family to whom he may go,
are all liable to heavy penalties if they
fail to announce his arrival.
There remains the problem of the
