SWISS LOAN HERE
NOT CIRCUMSCRIBED

Political circles in Switzerland have
been more or less stirred by charges that
the proceeds of the t25. 100000 loan me-
gotiated IN this market last July were
used TO purchase foodstuffs rather than
for elcctrihcation OF railways. and rum

financial circles here. A member OF the
Arm of Lee, Higglnson & Co, which acts
as the financial agent of the Swiss Gov
ernment here and which headed the syn
dcate that did the financing last year,
said yesterday:
"The Swiss Government stated that
part OF the proceeds OF the loan was to
be used to start the programme looking
toward the electrification of the Govern
ment railway system. which IL as much
an integral part Of the Government as
the Post Office Department Is In the
United states, but there was no proposi-
ton to earmark the funds obtained from
the loan. AS a matter of fact. the eiec-

The funds were obtained here by the
Swiss Government they we're available
for exchange purposes and we're so used,
but the dollars expended for foodstuffs

could be used for railway development
