Rome. April 15.-The Popolo Romano
commenting on yesterdays proposition
before the international agricultural
congress to establish a Euroepan zol-
verein against America says:
The difficulties in the practical ac-
complishment of such grandiOs pro-
jecJ are so grave and complex as to
render it almost utopian The further
discussion of the question has been
postponed until the next session of the
congress. which will probably postpone
it further. It is the best that could be
done as the movement intended TO shut
off Europe from the countries over the
sea has already aroused in the United
States which is sensitive on the sub
ject. a reactionary current. thereby fur
ther embittering the commercial rela-
tions between the old and new world.
