Swiss frontier in order to escape the
war-taX collector.
In any large European county
this access to the population of
few hundred or a few thousand men
OF vast wealth would not constitute
a danger and would be encouraged
as a highly desirable addition to
the nations wealth and population
In a small country like Switzer-
land. however, the situation is vast
ly different The Swiss see clearly
that all of this vast wealth now com
ing into the country Will eventual
ly be invested in Swiss industries
That means at the end of a year
all the financial industrial and
economic life of the country will
be in the hands of foreigners.
Then from private control TO pub
lie control is but a step The ma
turalizatiOn laws in Switzerland at
Their present time are very loose and
easy. Only a very short time is ne
cesSary for all these wealthy for
eigpers to become Swiss citizens to
become eligible for all the public Of
Reserve Naturalization.
AS a consequence they are now
putting up a valiant fight to save
themselves from this COSMOPOLITAN
iz.tion" largely through the revision
Of their naturalization laws and
their regulations permitting foreign
ers TO reside in their country.
Before the war there was probab-
ly no country in the world where
it was easier 10 get naturalized
either by honest or dishonest means
than in Switzerland. All that was
necessary was for a foreigner to
take up residence in some Swiss
canton and after two years the con
ton authorities had the right to
grant Swiss citizenship. As a mat
ter Of fact hundreds if not thou
sands were able by the payment of
little hush money TO induce the
local authorities in some out of the
way canton not only TO shorten this
period of time but even TO render
actual residence unnecessary.
This possibility was greatly taken
advantage of before the war by citi
zens of Austria Italy and oher coun-
| tries where divorce laws do not ex-
ist or are very difficult BY going
I up TO Switzerland and arranging
with the local authorities to become
naturalized in a remarkably short
period OF time. then secure divorce
under Swiss laws they could return
to their native country, and either
resume their original citizenship
I just as they pleased or not. and
eventually remarry.
Projects Before Council.
To remedy all OF this a number
/ Of projects are now before the Swiss
federal council tending 10 render
Swiss naturalization a most difficult
thing 20 secure. Perhaps the most
drastic of these provides that the

Another Offer OF Gas.

New orleans can get natural gas at
almost any price the City Commission
and Mayor Behrman names. w. O.
Hudson, former member of the Board
OF Commissioners of the City of New
Orleans, made this proposition to
Mayor Behrman and Commissioner
of Public Utilities Glenny Monday.
when he announced that he has a gas
well at Vivian, La, which could fur
nish all of the natural gas that the
city of New Orleans could use.
The offer of Mr.. Hudson, coming so
quickly upon the proposal of Rod A.
Demme, of the New York firm that has
vast holdings in the Terrebonn field.
to furnish gas to Algiers, brought
quick action upon the part of Mayor
Behrman. Mr.. Demme had said that
his firm had decided not to wait
longer on New Orleans to take natural
gas from the Terrebonne field, but was
going to furnish it to Gretna.
AS consequence, Mr.. Glenny de-
cided to look into the feasibility of
Mr.. Hudson's gas well at once. Mr..
Glenny said that acceptance of Mr.
Hudsons plan would entail the build
ing by the city of 300 miles of pipe
line from here to Shreveport and at
a great cost.
Mr. Hudson said that he was sure
that the gas well would furnish suf-
ficient gas for all of New Orleans
needs.
II have no use for the gas" said
Mr. Hudson, land knowing that New
Orleans wants natural gas would be
willing to practically give it to the
city of New Orleans. They can use it
at almost their own price"
Mr.. Glenny said that he would have
to look into the feasibility of the new
gas we'll Il will have to ascertain"
he said, how reliable the field is and
to what area it extends, what is the
pressure and what is the quality and
what flow. Also the probable life OF
the field will have to be looked into.
Then another matter of the cost OF
such line will have to be considered.
and gone into thoroughly"
Mr.. Glenny said that the matter
would not come before the Commits
sion Council on Tuesday.
