italian Government Per
n1itted To Take What
Supplies It Needs
SHORTAGE OF SHIPS
Is GREAT HANDICAP
Coal and Steel for Munition
Factories Are Most Urg-
emily Needed
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. ALI export
restrictions will be waived by the
American government in forwarding
supplies to Italy to aid in meeting
the Austro- German invasion. The
Italian government it was made
known today. will be permitted to
take the kind of materials 1t needs
most to the limit Of it's tonnage capa-
city regardless Of prospective short
ages here.
The military and political situation
in Italy and the aid America will
render were gone over at a confer
ence yesterday between Secretary
Lansing and Count Di Cellere, the
Italian ambassador. Italy's crying
need for ships was given especial
consideration.
Approximately 10000 tons Of ship
ping has been promised Italy by the
shipping board. Four vessels already
have been turned over and the others
will be delivered as fast as avail
able. The shortage Of ships is so
serious, however, that the shipping
board has to pick them UP as 1t can
find them, and the whole amount OF
tonnage promised may not be avail
able under thirty days.
ltaly's Great Need.
Italy's greatest need is coal, and
next, steel for her munitions factor
les. She has been drawing on this
country for about 100000 tons OF coal
a month, but now that English coal
is harder to obtain, her requirements
from the United States will approach
1000 tons monthly. The country
starts the winter. according to Ital-
ian officials, fully two million tons
of coal short.
The shipping the United States Is
able to release will be totally made
quate to meet the demand for coal
and to carry food and munitions. It
is likely, it was said today, however,
that Italians will make a trade with
Spain for a large amount of Spanish
tonnage to supplement the American
ships. At the same time the Italians
will put into trans Atlantic service
as many of their own ships as pos
sible.
Italy's food situation. it was said
today, is not as bad as 1t has been
pictured. The bread ration is larger
now than in either France of Eng
land. If, however Iatlians wish to
transport food in preference to coal
and munitions they will be given
such licenses to ship as much as they
wish.
