GERMANS SEEKING LOST TRADE 0F
 THE ITALIANS
By Associated Press

ROME, July f. Already German influence has been exercising itself in Italy in an cndeavor to win back its prc-war trade. which annually amount ed to nearly two million dollars cX- ports and imports.
 Interviews have recently bccn puh- lished in Italian papers which cndeav- or to establish the idea in the Italian mind that had Germany been consulted in the matter of Italian claims at the Peace Conference. Italy would have SO cured all that. had been asked. This has been interpreted by many prominent Italians as purely q subtle bid for ltal- an patlonage anticipating the resusci' tation of friendly commercial relation between Italy and Germany.
 Chief among the interviews appear no in Italy were those of Prince Non Buclow and Count Von Bcnstorff. The former was married to m Italian md maintains in Italy one of the most celebrated villas. Italians contend that t was his object to solicit Italian fav- or when he said:
 "Fiumc is an Italian town and must co to Italy. All it's inhabitants are ltai- ian eycept a small minority. Every thing in Plume is Italian. In fact most Vungarians living in Plume are. more favorable to Italian than to Jugo-SIav rule."
 Count Von Bernstorff seeks in his ntorview intended for the Italian poo ple to forgive Italy for allying hersc'f ,vith Germany's enemies. He admits that had the ancient German deSpot', rule won, Italy would have never been forgiven but that the new Germany 's ready to forget the past and start oV- nr arain. |.
 His interview given to the Gio,na'a D' Italia recently has been treated 'n the same light as that of Prince Eon Buclow while Italians are saving of it. "We prefer to trust in victory than alternatives"
 Count Be,nstorff failed to arouse qnv great enthusiasm among the ltal- ians for the proffered forgiveness.
 But the Germans have not beel asleep in Italy. Already German goods are finding their way into the Italian markets. A Milan newspaper recently announced that a large shipment of German jewelry had been received at the frontier destined for all parts ot Italy. German printing products tour ist guidebooks and stationery have been on display in shop windows for weeks. Some of them were pre-war stock by far the greater part is new.
