STEPS TAKEN TO CHECK
CONTINUAL DEPRECIATION
OF ITALIAN MONEY

Rome, May Correspondence of
the Associated Press The continued
depreciation of Italian money in for
eign markets, despite the establish
ment by the government of the Ma
tional Institute of Exchange early this
year for the purpose of reducing spec
ulation in lire, has led to the proposal
that Italy's allies help her by arbi-
trarily fixing the rate of exchange as
it is claimed was done with France.
AS Italy must import large quanti-
ties of war materials in order to keep
in the fight and as she must pay not
only high current prices but $1.80 of
her money for every dollar of material
she buys, it is pointed out that she is
carrying more than her share of the
war burden.
Since the establishment of the con-
troll by the government of the ex-
change, the price a dollar brings in
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1918-06-13

citation has not been caused by the in
creased issues of paper money since
the war. 1t is argued that English
and French paper money, as related to
the gold reserve Of these nations, has
been issued in greater proportions than
that of Italy, which has between rs
and 80 per cent gold reserve.
Germany, it is stated, has but Ia
per cent of gold as compared to her
paper issues, her gold reserve being
this high because of her inability to
buy abroad.
Yet, Italy's money has far lower
value than the money of those coun-
tries. In Switzerland it takes 215 lire
to buy 100 francs.
1t is further argued that Italy's
large balance of imports over her ex-
ports does not explain her difficulties,
as in both France and England the
same disproportion exists.
1t is asserted that if Italy, before
she went to war had made bargain
with her allies regarding her exchange
she would not now be at such an ar

Italy has increased from $40 lire to
300; 5 lire being par valne existing
before the war. The government also
forbade the buying outside of Italy
of dry goods and like articles by pri-
vate companies, and since then the
price of all such necessities in Italy
has increased far beyond the proper
tions of the exchange. A yard of wool
cloth that sold year ago for 20 lire
is now priced at 60 or more lire, if it
may be had at any price. The price
of food produced in Italy has also
increased to meet these advances.
Vegetables are almost as dear as
meat, and meat that sold year ago
for 3 lire the pound now sells for 7
lire.
The whole question of the exchange
value of Italian money has been dis
cussed bya series of articles from bus
mess men in the Popolo Romano, at
tempting to locate the causes of the
of Italian money with the
purpose of finding a remedy. IN these
articles it is agreed that the depre-
