ITALY GETS ANXIOUS
FOR TOURIST TRADE
In No Peace Time Within 40 Years
Have There Been So Few Amer
leans in Rome.

Rome, Feb. 26.--Demand for imme-
date resumption of foreign tourist
traffic is general in Italy despite a
shortage Of hotels and limited housing
facilities Premier Nitti and other gov
rrnment officials have declared it i'm
portant to bring foreigners to Italy so
as to lessen the balance of trade
against this country and improve the
exchange rates.
In no peace time within the last 40
years have there been so few Amer
leans in Rome as at present. Their
number ia said to be about 300. The
hotels are virtually all crowded with
Italians Tourists who come without
making reservations in advance find it
difficult to obtain accommodations The
government requisitioned 80 of the
largest hotels in Rome for war work,
SO that hotel space is far below nor
NAL.
Hotel keepers are making vigorous
Efforts to recover the use of their hos
telries and each week few hotels are
turned back to their proprietors. But
Rome has grown from $4,000 to $780,
300 since the beginning Of the war and

forced Italian families into hotels as
rapidly as room has become available,
Space will be found, nevertheless, for
American tourists if they come to
Rome, said an officer of the Hotel
keepers association to the Associated
Press The hotel managers have grant
ID no leases to Italians and, it is stated,
will give preference to tourists. 1t is
pointed out that exchange rates are so
favorable to Americans that the
charges of Italian hotels would become
reasonable.
Italian railways are making prep
,raticns for heavy tourist traffic next
spring The hope is general in com
mercial circles that Americans will
,ome to Italy in large numbers within
few months. If so, they will not find
conditions normal. Motor transporta-
ion is said to be almost out of the
question. The cost of petrol is pro-
hibitive and it is so scarce that it can
not be had in unlimited quantities at
my price. Motor cars also are scarce
md transportation by that method
high.
