SWISS BUDGET CRISIS

NEW MINISTER APPOINTED

TO STAY ON THE GOLD BASIS

Berne, Mar. 28.

The political crisis threat- ened by the resignation of M. Musy, the Finance Minister, has passed.

Fears that Switzerland might be compelled to abandon the gold standard have also disappeared.

M. Phillippe Etter has been. ap. pointed to succeed M. Musy as Minister of Finance, and following the appointment an agreement has been reached between political leaders.

The Federal Council has decided that the Budget must bo balanced and that no expenditure will be per- mitted which is not covered by revenuo receipts.

The Council also decided to fors- wear all manipulations of currency

IMPORTANT PROPOSALS IN NEW BILL

TOLL INCREASING

(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH")

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinanco, 1804 Received, March 20, 9.28 aim.).

LONDON, MARCH 28. DRASTIC STEPS ARE CONTEMPLATED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO REDUCE THE TRAGICAL». LY MOUNTING TOLL OF THE ROADS.

Proposals now before Parliament are experimental, it is indicated; if they do not accomplish the desired im- provement, still more drastic legislation will be forth- coming.

One of the innovations will be a requirement of applicants for driving licences to undergo a test of com- petence. This is the normal practice in Hongkong, but it is new to Britain, where hitherto it has been purely a question of payment.

Cases have been known where licences have been issued to persons totally unfitted to drive for reason of physical disabilities.

Shocking official figures of the toll of the road in 1933 in comparison with those of 1932 were issued to- day, as follows:
