PARIS, October 13-Premier Poin-
care yesterday caused a tempest in
the European teapot by ordering
French customs officials to move up
to the Swiss frontier in Haute Savoie
and plant the French tricolor, thus
doing away with the ten-miIe "free
zone" which has existed between
Switzerland and France since the de-
feat of Napoleon.
The free zone long has been a cause
for border pickering since the Prus-
sian English allies established 1t after
Waterloo. AS a protective measure
against French invasion, France was
forbidden to maintain either troops
or customs guards within the neutral
zone. However. both countries agreed
to abolish the zone in 1921, but the
Swiss people refused to vote ratifica-
tion.
The French reopened the negotia-
tions lately, but Switzerland was so
slow that N. Poincare sprang a
"Mussolini' on the Swiss by ordering
the zone abolished and will talk
about it afterward. AS the Quai
dOrsay explained. che did not do It to
interrupt the negotiations with Swift
zerland, but to stimulate them"
