Italy is being maligned by a con-
centration of German propaganda
which is seeking to isolate the coun-
try first from France, then England
and finally the United States, and most
of he stories which have been sent
to New York newspapers from the
north of Italy are absolutely lacking
in foundation says Sylvester W. La
brot, former vice-president of the Ma
tional Park Bank. who has returned
to Paris from an exhaustive investiga-
ton of Italian conditions.
To TIP New YORK HERALp's corre-
spondent he said the country is pros
pering, that agriculture Is being con-
Quoted on the most scientific lines and
that there is not an acre of available
ground which is not devoted to the
growth of some crop, while the spirit OF
the whole people Is turned against the

leaders.
II have made special inquiry re-
garding the tales of farms being seized
and can assert that they are untrue.
he said There may have been some
lands taken in out of the way areas but
there has been no general vement.
And lands seized were those hidden In
the mountains and were not useful for
extensive production. Generally speak
ing. Italy Is working better. with a more
definite aim than any other European
country.
80 far MS America is concerned the
Italians still are as friendly az when
President Wilson's doctrine invaded
Europe In fact. the Italian courtesy
to America reaches the limits which
are often embarrassing to villagers who
think nothing of accompanying Ameri-
can visitors for miles along the rocky
roads to be sure they do not miss the
route.
"But the principal evidence OF
Italy's saneness and soberness Is the
constant expression of desire to main
tain law and order" he added. 81 per-
sonally saw "A great celebration in Rome

Emanuel to take a pledge to observe
the country's laws. It was a marvellous
expression of the country's opposition to
Bolshevistic methods and sufficiently
assured foreign financiers that the coun-
try still is worthy Of respect and con-
fidence."
NJ. Labrot has talked with scores OF
bankers Who are optimistic that italian
industry soon will show q marked Inn
provement, as the workers. since the
downfall of their Soviet attempt, have
become convinced they must cooperate
with the managers and owners or race

Personally I am sure that Italy soon
will get back to gold basis, as the
country is responding nobly to the call
