have TO work energeticaliy and prac-

OF restoring the damage done. Taking
un the hardships imposed upon the
Swiss people through the presence OF
a host Of spies and deserters from the
belligerent countries, the president
said:

In closing his speech President Cali

"As a small. peaceloving state we
naturally have the warmest smypa-
