A year later the General Electric
Co. discovered him and brought him
to Pittsfield, Mass. America had been
his goal, so he was willing.
In 1910 he was called back to Swift
zerland to work for an engineering
corporation there, and when the war
began in 1914, he was sent to New
York to take charge of the work of
supplying the industries of Switzer-
land with raw materials from Amer
lea. He rapidly became an expert on
American commercial conditions and
shipping ito Europe, and when Hans
SulZer was appointed by his govern
ment last year as Swiss minister to
the United States he asked Mr.. Oeder-
lin to serve as his commercial ad-
wiser.
Last June Mr.. SulZer returned to
