so, too, Is the day when you could
get honest olive oil In an Italian
restaurant. The oil they serve In the

These two essentially Italian arti-

PROFITEERING EVERYwHERE.

there has been profiteering on large
scale in nearly every branch OF trade.
Roman newspapers have been full OF
the charges and In another column

This resulted in a police campaign
which ended in a dozen or so high
placed officials being sent to the
