Reuter. ONLY TRANSIT PERMITS BY SWITZERLAND

Berne, Dec. 7. The President of the Swiss Con- federation. Dr. Baumann, in his capa- elty as Federal Councilor for Justice and the Poilce, made a declaration to-day before the National Council concerning conditions for the admis- sion of foreign dev

Jews into Switzerland. the The President emphasised standpoint already taken by the H

Council, that, owing alike to unem- ployment and the excessive number of foreign refugees in the country, Switzerland henceforth could only be the land of transit for Jewish and other foreign refugees.

President Baumann estimated that the number of destitute Jewish re- fugees who had come to Switzerland. In July and August last was about 2.300, and he added that zone 200 more had entered the country since

These destitute refugees were look- ed after by the Swiss Jewish organi-

sallon.

As for necessitous foreign Jewish children, Switzerland could on prin- ciple, only admit them temporarily, ark the maximum number must not exceed 300.

The number of political refurces in Switzerland was between 10.000 and 12,000, and their transportation to other countries was, under existing circumstances, very slow.

The Federal Council hoped, how ever, it would be possible to steed it up within the next few months. Trans-Occan.
