State Luigi Luzzatti. Italy's best
known financier. To correspondent
of The Associated Press he said:
Italy is far richer than strangers

fact that we have surprised ourselves

capacities which have astonished us,
particularly in our industries. We

factories for war materials, employ

unstained as that of its military or
political honor.

extended us faith and credit when we
were Piedmont and later when we
were United Italy have been satisfied
We sold them our loans far below
