4 DELICATE QUESTION UP FOR DECISION
 BEFORE THE ALLIES

One of the first things discovered by the minister of blockade recently appointed by the French President, is at the same time the most delicate problem he will be forced to solve says the Petit Parisian.
 His discovery was that Switzerland was violating the stringent allied blockade in a rather novel manner. He found that Germany was receiving sui fcient explosives from Switzerland not directly but indirectly, to fill 100, 900, 900 three-inch shells per annum. And yet not a scrap of that explosive was delivered in actual explosive form. l. was represented by 32,633 kilo- wats Of energy transported by the Swiss plants to the German factories. Upon the completion of a new electri- cal plant at Olten-Gosgen the energy will be raised to 42,000 kilowats.
 Electricity going over the border. The Germans ship their coal into Switzerland and the Swiss engines re- turn the current And the whole ar rangement cannot be proved to actu- ally violate any clause of the interna- tional arrangements with neutrals. The allied governments, however, are considering the action a fragrant act of unfriendship on the part of the Swiss government.
 To the lay mind, 42,00 kilowats of energy does not convey a great i'm pression. Translated into more ap- preciable figures, it means an econ omy of 373,465 tons of coal.
 With the Swiss current thus given Germany is easily able to turn out 60 900 tons of explosives, or the charges for at least the 100,000,00O shells already mentioned. The Swiss current is the only thing Germany needs for her process in fixing nitro gen from the atmosphere.
 But can the Allies prevent com merce of this sort? The question is extremely delicate and one which the Minister of Blockade is now studying. It is impossible to demand of the Swiss plants their refusal to sell their cur rent to the enemy, as we have demand ed their refusal to export cotton, wheat and combustibles if we are not in a position to furnish Switzerland everything necessary for her malnten- ance, particularly coal.
