THE SWISS GOVERNMENT IS MOVING TOWARDS UNBANNING THE JESUITS
THE Swiss Government is m oving cautiously towards a constitutional revision that would eliminate the provision now banning the Catholic Society of Jesus from the country. A 11h r t i l On 'S t Wo C t- \n *l (n « nilACfi rtn /\unougn ii nas naa me question
under study for 10 years the Government has informed Parliament that it is not ready to initiate formal action. However, Friedrich T. Wahlen , the Foreign Minister , assured in the name of the sevenman Government that the long delay did not mean - any loss of interest in the projected revision. The ban on the Jesuits was written into the Swiss Constitution more than a century ago by the country's Protestant majority. It was strengthened.in 1874 by being extended to. outla w the founding of new religious orders or convents or tile refounding of any already forb idden. .

On New Year's Day Wahlen expressed the Government 's view that the ban on the Jesuits was an anachronism at a time when the Christian world is seeking unity. Switzerland , he recalled , is the only democratic State that still outlaws the Jesuits.. Norway was the last to repeal her ban on them. Wahlen said that the example given by the late Pope John XX1TC and the work of the recently concluded "Vatican Ecumenical Council had helped to "brush aside many tensions and misunderstandings. "Obstacles" remain in the way of < the projected r constitutional rev i sion , "but the time when they. can he: overcome ¦no longer1 •' . ap/ pear so-far-off ,," he -continued . - .:
