GENEVA, April 3O.-The delicate
problem OF Swiss neutrality was
tossed into the League of Nations lap
today when tiny Switzerland de-
manded freedom from obligations to
impose League penalties against ag-
gressor nations.
Calling herself the guardian of the
Alps" Switzerland referred pointedly
to the fact her powerful neighbors,
Germany and Italy, no longer are in
the League fold.
Switzerland declared she would ex-
pose herself to the danger of attack
if she were obliged to 60 along with
the League in applying economic or
financial penalties such as the League
in 1885 imposed on Italy in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to halt the Ethiopian
conquest.
Memorandum Given League.
A memorandum to the League sec
retariat from the Swiss Federal Coun-
Gil set forth Switzerlands position.
1t indicated Switzerland acted par
ticularly since the world is engaged in
an arms race greater than ever and
the League lacks the membership Of
such powerful nations as the United
States.
Even though the Swiss Army has
been modernized-practically every
Swiss adult male has been trained as
soldier and keeps rifle in his
house-the nation could see nothing
but dire danger in the possibility of
war with her powerful neighbors.
Thus the question of Swiss neu-
trality will be discussed at the League
Council session opening May 8, which
also is to consider British move to
grant recognition Of Italy's conquest
of Ethiopian outcome Of the re-
cent Italo-British accord.
Delicate Problem.
Swiss freedom from punitive obli-
cations within the Leagues frame
work presents delicate problem.
Setting Switzerland free would set q
precedent that other members. par
ticularly the small ones, might seize
upon to gain similar liberty Of
action.
The Swiss government declared fat
ly that circumstances have changed
greatly since Switzerland joined the
League"
Some Of the most important clauses
of the League covenant have not been
enforced" said the Federal Council.
Sanctions have not operated in every
case. Competition in armaments has
been resumed on a larger scale than
ever.
Participation Of Several Lost.
Instead of becoming universal the
League has lost the participation Of
some of the most important countries.
"The United States did not see its
way clear to join and four great coun-
tries-two of them Switzerland's s
neighbors-have withdrawn"
Because of her international posi-
ton, the Swiss government told the
League Switzerland cannot accept
the system Of sanctions. At present
the distinction between military and
economic sanctions would prove il
lusory as far as Switzerland Is con-
cerned.
If she responded to economic pres
sure she would be in grave danger of
being treated exactly as If she had
taken military action"

Stalemate PROLONGED.

HENDAYE. France. April 80 P.-
Bad weather prolonged the stalemate
on Eastern Spanish battle fronts today,
limiting operations to sporadic en-
counters.
For several days the front running
from the Teruel sector eastward to
the Mediterranean has touched the
following points: Aliaga, Castelote,
Morella, Gait, Tirig. Vinromas and
thence to the coast east of Alcala de
Chivert.
Dispatches from the opposing armies
disagreed as to the point where the
line reaches the Mediterranean. The
insurgents said their advance post was
established miles south of Alcala
de Chivert. The government reported
its flank positions at Sierra de rta,
north of Alcala de Chivert.
Insurgents said they retrieved q
government armored train stalled in
no-mans-land in the Alcala de Chivert
sector. During an exchange Of ar
tillery fire 100 men rushed out and
managed to move it into insurgent
territory.
