QUESTION OF EXCHANGE
PROBLEM IN ITALY
Proposal at Rome That the Allies
Help Her by Arbitrarily
Fixing the Rate.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
ROME, June 10.-The continued de-
probation of Italian money in foreign
markets, despite the establishment
by the government Of the National
Institute of Exchange early this year
for the purpose of reducing specula-
tion 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 ma
terial she buys, 1t 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
Italy has increased from $40 lire to
500; lire being par value existing
forbade the buying outside of Italy
of drygoods 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
SASsh eAAoS 6o1u q year d8o 1OE kU l1E6
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. Veg
etables are almost as dear as meat,
and meat that sold a year ago for s
lire the pound now sells for lire.
Should Have Planned Before War.
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 q
far lower buying value than the
money Of those countries. In Switz-
erland 1t takes 215 lire to buy 100
francs.
1t is further argued that Italy.s
large balance of Imports over her
exports does not explain her difficul-
ties. as in both France and England
the same disproportion exists.
1t is asserted that If Italy, before
she went to war, had made q bar
gain with her allies regarding her ex-
change she would not now be at such
a tremendous economic DISADVANTAGES.
and 1t Is concluded that such an ar
rangement ought to be made at once.
