Of her mission here, buy much larger
quantity of finished products from the

American experts, it is said, have
convinced the mission that 1t will be
more advantageous for Italy to buy

ural and Industrial machinery, as, IN
addition to getting them sooner. a saw
ing will be effected IN tonnage, as the
coal and raw materials for their manu-
facture in Italy would have to be trans
ported from America.
The reason assigned for ltaly's not
having heretofore purchased finished
products in the United States was that
American manufacturers asked eXor-
bitant prices. so that il was considerably
cheaper for Italy TO make them herself

After an interval OF thirty-seven

being the sixty-eighth annual ses-

Although the first formal meeting

Submarine Problem
Less Knotty, But
Is Not Yet Solved
Aiming of Liners and Seasonal
Conditions Cause Reduction
in Sinkings
From Tho Tribune Bureau


Washington, June 4.-The submarine
problem has not yet been solved, it was
authoritatively stated to-day. No new.
devices thus far developed have proved
successful solution. The reduction
in the number Of submarine sinkings, it
was said, is rather due to a combination
of seasonal conditions and the added
difficulties confronting the U-boats
through the arming of merchantmen.
Before naval guns were placed on
cargo ships the submarines operated
great deal on the surface, using their
deck guns and bombs TO destroy YES
sells, but with the arming Of merchant
men the U-boats have been forced to
operate nearly altogether under water.
This means that instead Of the COM
paratively inexpensive destruction by
shelling and bombing, the U-boat must
expend a torpedo on every vessel sunk.
Since the supply of torpedoes carried
/ by each underwater craft is limited,
til5 utdHS lltquthb iNbuibo W INV
base for supplies.
Another difficulty now imposed on the
submarine is seasonal in character. At
this time in the North Sea the nights
are comparatively short. The under
water craft have to replenish their
batteries by running gas engines on
the surface at night. The short nights
give them insufficient time, it is said.
TO recharge their batteries after a long
days run.
Of course, there is an ever-increasing
vigilance against the submarine on the
part Of all Allied naval craft. More
over, the art of submarine chasing by
airplanes has been considerably cult
waited in recent months and the mos
quito fleets are continually being. ex-
panded. But, despite this, the fore
going reasons are said to account for
a good deal of the reported reduction
in submarine sinkings.

any therapeutic way; that II has no
food value and no value IN the treat
