IN SWITZERLAN
General Strike Begun With
.Revolutionary v Designs
Incited by Agents of
BolshevikL '
Waehingrfon, Nov. 13. Switzer
land's general strike, which com
menced this week, has objects which
are revolutionary and political rath
er than economic and has had di
rect incitement from the bolshevik
organization in Russia, according to
Hans Sulzer, Swiss minister to the
United States.
Mr.- Sulzer sketched .circum
stances leading up to the strike to
day for the Associated Press. He
expressed complete confidence that
it would fail to break down the
present Swiss government, wlych,
he said, had the support of the
overwhelming proportion of the
population.
"For some time there has been
great industrial unrest and unem
ployment in Switzerland, due to
general world conditions, and inten
sified by our general location," Min
ister Sulzer said. "The Russian
bolshevik government, though not
recognized, has had a representa
tive in the country, who was toler-1
aiea upon ins agreement to refrain
from propaganda against our demo
cratic form of government. This
promise he' did not keep, but in
stead, engaged more or less openly
in agitation.
"Affairs culminated when the
Swiss government ordered troops in
to Zurich to maintain order, which
was done last week. The sociaist
committees which controls the cen
tral labor organizations, ordered the
government to remove the soldiers
or face a general strike, to begin
Sunday. Naturally, my government
woud not be dictated to in any such
fashion. The strike folowed.
"The Swiss Parliament has now
been called to meet immediately. I
am without information as to the
developments since, but" I believei
that the strike either has failed, or
will do so very shortly, since7 it can
not hope for the general support of
the Swiss."
The bolshevist mission to Switzer
land refused to leave in accordance
with orders given it by the Swiss
governmetft. and was expelled by
itailitaryy force, according to diplo
matic dispatches received today.
Fear Red Terror.
Amsterdam, Nov. 13. Popular
joy in Holland over the end of the
war is overshadowed by indefinite
apprehensions of bolshevik troublei
4 -
and doubts whether a partial de
mobilization of the army, with an
increase in the bread ration, will
suffice to stave off subversive in
fection. ""
The revolutionary socialist party
has already issued a manifesto ad
vocating Russian methods. More
over, a new republican party has-) hollowing the patriotic demonstra
arisen, aiming at the abolition of
the court, army, navy and dip
lomacy. ' While there are no itn
meMiate prospects of trouble,' there
is plenty of combustible material.
For the moment, however, joy
reigns supreme, especially at The
Hague.
