No Hope of Better Food Situa-
ton Seen by Food Con-
tr0ller at Rome.
STILL EaTING WAR BREAD
Strikes and Riots Are Bred by Stead
ny increasing Cost OF Everything
Causing Deep Anxiety to
Government.

Rome.-Italy's food situation Is
worse now than 1t has been since the
arIniStice and almost as bad as II
was during the dark days of the war.
The feeling that all Is not well has
weighed upon housekeepers for weeks.
when life's prime necessities grew
rarer and dearer But now the coun-
try has been told the bitter truth by
Food Controller Murialdi In speech
before the chamber of deputies.
This years harvest of grain has
yielded 2OO.OOO.0O0 hundredweight
less than last year; the government
must import $4,000. 600 hundred
weight for bread. which is sold at 20
cents for two-pound loaf. and means
S4OU.OO0.0OO on hard grain alone; on
soft grain the loss equals another
S4OO.OO0.OOO; on olive oil the state
loses several hundred million dollars.
Italy is the only allied country
whose inhabitants must still eat war
bread. Its price, the government says
must shortly be raised or 10 cents
for two-pound loaf, because the
budget cannot stand the loss of $780,
100000 year On grain alone. The
PuDhS AiuSi DcAl part VI the DuTuGQ
in dearer bread.
Rice is scarce. too; this years har-
vest shows a shortage Of half a mil
lion hundredweight the oil harvest
is so poor the public has less than
one-third the quantity doled OUT last
year. There is less than half the
quantity of cheese. lard. butter and
milk of last year; there Is a serious
sugar shortage too.
And the food controller has no
remedy to suggest. The public blames
him and his food ministry. He
blames the food ministry too. say
ing that such chaos reigned when he
took it over last summer that he has
been unable to straighten things out
and will resign as soon as possible
He told an astonished chamber that
he found his ministry buying cheese
at 80 cents a pound, TO resell TO
wholesale dealers. who doled Ii out
to the public at S1.5O a pound. He
added that one great trouble is the
lack of food experts TO advise the
government In buying foods, es-
pecially perishable kinds. And he
said he saw no hope for better food
situation In the near future unless
people eat less and pull their belts
tighter over empty stomachs.
