/ TO WORLDS TRADE.
Giuseppe Gentle, Italian DEL
egate to ParIey, Would
Abolish Tariffs.

Removal Of tariffs and embargoes
blocking the paths of world trade is
one of the paramount needs of today,
according to Giuseppe GENTLE, MEM
Der of the Italian delegation to the
arms conference, speaking yesterday
before the City Club luncheon forum.
The Versailles treaty, through the
erection of customs barriers and
trade walls. has put Europe back
three centuries economically, said the
speaker.
Economic Problems Cited.
Asserting that there could be littl.,
Improvement in world conditions un-
til full attention was given to eco
nomic problems, Mr.: Gentle con-
dent Harding's hint of future confer
ences to take up these problems
would be carried out.
I'VE must stop thinking of war" he
said, "for that Is the first step neces-
sary before we can give our real at
teAtion to the greater problems. The
reduction of taxes and the removal
of war fears are only the first STEP"
Citing the interaction Of depression
on various countries, the speaker con-
unued to point out now unemploy-
ment in America has lowered Italian
eXChange rates, because or lnaDlllty
Of Italian immigrants in America to
send home their former savings.
Discusses Hughes Program.
Regarding the Hughes naval pro-
gram. the speaker said, In reply to
questions, that although Italy was in
full agreement with the idea animat-
ing the present conference and hoped
that 1t would permit her to keep down
her naval expenses, yet his nation
would have to insist on navy equal
to that of the French.
I'VE do not want to have to in
crease our navy" he said. for already
the Italian people have been taxed
very heavily for that purpose. and we
hope in the future that we can devote
some of that money to the immense
needs Of reconstruction. But when we
know that Italy can be starved in ten
days If her food imports are cut off
when we know that Italy lies in an ex-
posed position on an inland sea shared
with France: we realize that we must
have a navy equal to that of France
to protect our national security"
Mr.. Gentle said he assumed that
Italy and France would be included
IN the naval reduction agreement as
finally developed.
