N|Tn DECLARES
EUROPE LOSING
WOR[DCONTROL
Position Held BY Old World
Previous to War Threaten
ed by American Interests
Says Italian Premier

London, Mar. 4.-Europe is in dan
ger Of permanently losing the posi-
tion she held in the world before the
outbreak of the world war says Pre-.
mier Nitti of italy in an interview
printed by the Manchester Guardian
today. He points out that Europe is
no longer a creditor but is on the
debit side of the ledger.
Public order in Italy is good, he
says and that IL the country Noa q
get her minimum requirements in
COAL foodstuffs and raw materials
she would be able to reconstitute
herself economically.
Only brief allusion to the Adriatic
problem is made in the interview
I'VE shall find way cut" says
the premier, 'and we and the Jugo-
Slavs will, be friends. Don't magnify
this frontier controversy by talking
of imperialism. Feeling natur-
ally exists over Fiume, because the
future of some Italians is immedl-
ately concerned.
What after all is Italy demanding
in the Adriatic She wants strips OF
territory, the population Of which is
less than the Italian casualties in
the war;"
Premier Nitti expresses strong con-
viction in favor Of restoring normal
relations with Russia. adding: There
should be no more meddling with the
internal affairs Of one country by
another"
Economic Situation Grave.
Discussing the European situation
in general and the. danger Of the per-
manent loss to Europe Of her former
eminent position, the premier ad-
duced other reasons for his opinion.
Alludingto Europe's prewar status, he
said:
"Then she was the most productive
region in proportion to her population
in the world. Now millions of her
producers are unemployed. Germany,
which was the focus of European pro-
ductivity, is paralyzed economically;
southeastern Europe and Russia are
not only stagnant economically but
are in social and political confusion.
How can Europe live IL half her ener-
gies remain suppressed, and how can
her energy revive unless the victors
and the vanquished realize that they
have common task to accomplish? ?
Think of the danger of putting this
huge mass of suffering humanity in
movement throughout central and
eastern Europe
Here, indeed, there are possibilities
of revolution. possibilities which threat
en- us all. At all costs the tension
must be relaxed. It is great thing we
are not going to suffocate the Turk
but will help him to HIS fet like any
other ruined people"

Des M0ines Packer
Opposes Proposed
Control Measures

Washington, March 4.--Opposition
to pending legislation for control of
the packing industry was expressed
before tho house agriculture commit
tee today by Frank T. Fuller, presi-
dent Of the Iowa Packing company
of Des Moines. who described him
self as an independent packer
He said no government commission
or official should be given general
and broad powers to regulate the
packing business as the result would
be to harass the packers, large and
small.
Small packers, he said, should be
aided by law abolishing special privil-
eyes now enjoyed by the packers as
to railroad rates and other facilities
Denying charges that the packers
practices had reduced stock raising.
Mr.. Fuller said the big packers had
developed livestock and poultry grow
ing and other agricultural interestz
Including stoekyards and many other
enterprises.

Turkish Question
Is Dispatched

London, Mar. 4.--Reply to a ques-
tion in the house of commons today
regarding the nassacres of Armen-
ians Premier Lloyd George said this
had been the subject of very anxious
consideration at the allied confer
ence and the conferens had reached
a decision which had been communi-
Gated to their Representatives at Con-
stantinople.
1t would not be advisable added
the premier, to make public at the
moment the character of that decis-
ion. What would be done regarding
it would depend upon advices from
the Turkish capital.
1--WE are awaiting that advice now,'
he continued, "but / can assure the
house that we are fully alive to the
gravity of the position and to the
need of taking very strong measures
to protect minorities as far as can be
done in a country Of this kind hope
to be able to make statement In a
very short time but we are at the
present moment awaiting the views of
the representatives Of all the allies
at Constantinople upon the sugges-
tion which we put forward"
