that price-fixing would be eliminated

2. The ban on child labor.

government today moved to assure
strict maintenance of Swiss neutral

to discourage the possible recruiting
of extra police to maintain order
during the plebiscite in January.
The action by the Federal Council
followed a request of the Saar Gov
erning Commission to the League OF
Nations for extra police when the Saar
territory votes on the important ques-
tion of whether it will continue to be
governed by the League, revert to
Germany or become French.
The Federal Council admitted that
Swiss law does not prohibit the re-
cruiting Of special guards for work
of this nature, but expressed the
opinion that because of general poll
tical considerations, the best citizens
would not serve in such a capacity.
Controversies. the council said. would
inevitably result, and the council re-
quested the Governing Commission
of the Saar to renounce any idea of
