ltaly,s Plan for retired soldicrs

. "a " AbCNiICN 9OllItTss
ST. James Gazette: Signor G. Giun-
nj has proposed to the Italian gov
eminent u unique plan for making use
of all the at present u~ncultivated Med
iterranenn islands possessed by Italy,
oil the unworked mines and whole
tracts of country that are infertilc
simply because the peasants who
ought to be working them are selling
ice cream in London or peanuts in New
York. Signor Giunni suggests that all
these properties should be handed over
to a patriotic limited liability compa.
ny with a ninety-nine years lease and
extraordinary government powers.
The object of the company, as set forth
III its prospectus, would be the intel.
1igent cultivation of the fifty-five un.
productive Mediterranean islands, the
development of the G25, 900 acres OF
common lands now lying derelict
throughout Italy, and the working OF
all the idle governments or private
mines.
Tt is believed that by means of a svs-
ten of colonization and the employ
Inent OF men who have completed their
terms of military service not only
would immense benefits result, but
that large reserve army could be MAIN
tanned with a budget economy of
%15o,ooo,ooo francs. Further, it is be-
lieyed that the adoption of the plan
would have the happy result of reduc-
ing the present compulsory military
term for young men from three years
to a single year, and that each one of
the military and mining agricultural
colonists could be assured a solid life
pension on the completion of a certain
number of years of service.
