Better Conditions in Italy.

After having obtained majority of I64 on the
question of its general policy and of I3I on its hnan
cial program, the cabinet of Premier Bonomi found
itself in strong position when Parliament adjourned
The troublesome Adriatc question is settle
ment than before. The governments financial
position is improved, and internal strife has become
somewhat less violent Although the figures furnished
ty the minister of the treasury showed that the bud
get for the current year would not be balanced,
very considerable reduction in the deficit of the past
year will be made. For the fiscal year ending in
June, the deficit Ioooooooooo lire, but,
cordng the estimates the deficit for the
rent year will be between four and FIVE billion The
Improvement in the financial condition Of the gov
is attributed to the increased taxes and the
Increase in the price of bread established by Signor
Giolitti's ministry. But like other European
tries Italy is suffering from the exchange situation.
According to one authority the rise in the exchange
in countries like America where Italy must purchase
h,r foodstuffs, has resulted in an increase in the
penscs OF every Italian family of about two lire
day. The fact that the Italian people realize that
foreigner visiting Italy makes considerable profit
when he exchanges his own currency for that of
Italy is suggested as one reason for the unpopularty
of foreigners .--. ...-
During the past year the national debt of Italy
has increased from o8ooooooooo lire to considerably
over Io6ooo,ooo,ooo.. Since there seems to be but
little hope that the debts will be cancelled, is
generally realized that the only way by which this
ueDt Is 10 De feduceu is Dy OF greater
economy in administration and by heavier taxes
Doubtless the most important thing which Italy has
accomplish is establishment of internal peace. So
long the Fascist and the Communists continue
their warfare the recovery of the industrial and
mercial life of the country will be retarded. The
political controversy Ialys foreign relations
especially in the Adriatic, which brought about the
fall of the Ciolitti ministry, has quicted down now

contempt the lower classes reply with Hatred such
- as is altogether unknown in our more homogeneous
countty-and England is the symbol around which
all this love and hatred center as pivot ':
r great deal of the hatred of England, this writer
finds, the result of Sim Fein and German pfopa-
ganda: Discussing the former, he says: "Of recent
years the Sim Fein agitation has certainly done
something to add to the nwl of the lower classes.
This has, howeser been greatly exaggerated, for nine
times out of the agtator is only preaching to the
already converted. White America is thoroughly
sick of Ireland her rights and wrongs, and is only
anxious get back to rghtng of the very
manifest wrongs from which America herself is suf-
9fering. But is must be remembered that the Amer
iean Sim Feiner is very different being from his
Irish brother who hating England, docs actually risk
his life in attempting to break away from the empire
But the American agitator very little indeed for
Ireland and has not the slightest intention of rskng

he has little il any Irish blood in his veins the

chance of striking blow at the hated white
upperclass American Sim Feinism in America is in
fact primarily class movement, having fundamen-
tally as little to do with the of Ireland of

. Inc future relations between EngIano ana tine
United States this writer believes will be shaped not
by international events but by the class struggle in
America. He writes in conclusion: Anyone who has
lived in America since the knows that very
nasty spirit is abroad among certain strata of the
population. The Anglo-Saxons have just won an in-
portant though little regarded engagement IN the
restrictions of immigration. Prohibition was, of
course, another foray of the same kind, though
whether it may not prove Pyrrhc victory is still
doubtful. But the still very far from decision
and until that decision is reached he who would
prophecy as to the future of AngfoAmercan relations
is either an optimist, pessimist a fool"
The Washington herald., 1921-10-02

TO America there is no such country as Eng
land, perhaps because there is no such peo-
pie as the American. America, that is to say,
is entirely peopled by samples Of real ma
tionalities; each sample regards England from
its own individual angle, and accordingly,
from the American standpoint, there is not
one England, but dozens of Englands. all as
different from the real thing as they are from
each other" Developing this idea, he writes:
Were you attempting paradox you might
say that America is perfectly Indifferent to
England, while at the same time almost fa-
natieaiiy interested in her. For, on bal
ance of opinions, the, hatred and affection
practically cancel each other, with perhaps
slight balance in favor OF affection Which
is to say that the Americans of North Euro
pean descent (including the Germans, Swedes
and French) practically balance those of their
fellow citizens who are sprung from the more
southern or eastern races. To put it in yet
another way, feeling towards England is
largely a matter of class. In no country in
the world is ss-consciousness, class -preju-
dice and class-hatred so open and bitter as
in democratic" America, the more so because
class is so largely matter of race. Listen
to white; .which'is to say an Anglo Saxon
American, speak of hrs Russian Hebrew,
,Czecho-Sloyak or other Southeast European
fellow citizen, and you will learn what class
contempt really means. (By Angio-Saxon
you are to understand almost anyone with
an Snglo- Saxon name, for it is foible in

There is no element oil surprise IN the
Americans appointments to the Washington
conference, bat the inclusion of Senator Un-
derwood lDemoerat) has a special signih-
cance. In view of the dominant authority
of the Senate as body in treaty-making, II
might have been thought that the delegation
would be made up without any Senatorial
members, since the Senate must pronounce
upon any decision of the conference or the
administration But il has been clear from
the outset that Senator Lodge would be a
member. As leader of the Republican ma
jority, chairman of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee and chief organizer OF the
forces in Congress which destroyed the Viii
son program, he commanded the situation.
To leave him out was impossible; and he Is
SO emphatic party man, that his appoint
ment virtually necessitated the selection Of
a Senator from the Democratic side to keep
the balance. n. ft9
Senator Underwood of Alabama. was
undoubtedly the wise choice. 4 He has had a
long experience in the House and Senate:
His name first became known on this side
during the first year of President Wilson's
term in connection with the notable tariff
act which brought the old regime to an end
As leader of the Democratic majority in the
last Senate. he gave steady support to Mr..
Wilson's policy, and he stood BY the league
covenant throughout the hong. wrangle in

FOREIGN TRADE

The European political situation
has exerted only a nominal influence
upon the stock market and business
since the occupation OF three Ger
man cities was completed. Exchange
holds its groCnd and such breaks az
have occurred recently were eX-
planned on other grounds. This
ccuntry's attitude OF indifference
IS proof that a majority OF
Americans no longer consider them
selves implicated in European de-
velopments and do not feel the
sense of responsibility so much in
evidence during the war. Whether
this position is justified remains a
question. The new administration
unwiTlngncss Immediately TO declare
it's foreign policy increases the un-
certainty surrounding foreign trade
and credit relationships and gives
American business additional reason
for caution.
Car loadngs are increasing, ac-
cording to reports Of the American
Railway association, and reflect
slow acceleration I'm the pace Of bust
ness. The automobile industry re-
ports gains at different points. and
tho advent Of spring still stimulate
outdoor employment, especially i'm
agriculture, partially Offsetting cur
tailment on the railroads and in tho
factories. January and February
railroad earnings latter yet to
be announced must necessarily az
gregate much less than earnings I'm
the corresponding period last year.
For January 146 class I railroads
showed a net operating deficit OF
$4,000 600. as contrasted with net in
come of more than S42. coo last
year. The downward trend in whole
sale prices continues with some ir-
regularity.
The resistance Of organized labor
TO wage reductions. notably in the
packing industry and on the rail-
roads is the most serious obstacle
I'm the path Of readjustment and
gives reason for genuine concern.

BUILDING AND
REAL ESTATE

The two months Of January and
February and the early part of
March reveal a marked acceleration
IN building activity. February per-
Tnfts I'M 196 cities. according 10 the
American Contractor. exceed the
January total by so per cent. The
estimated valuation is SOC. 493. 600. as
compared with G113.G49.0O0 last
year. The r w Dodge Co. reports
that contracts awarded during Jan
Uary and February are iE the as
gregate $4,000. 600 higher than con-
tracts for the same months in 1919.
The fact remains. nevertheless. that
building activity is still subnormal.
Inquiries for materials increase.
Prices show no startling changes.
Such revision as occurs is almost
invariably downward. Brick men
claim their prices are stabilized for
1921. A rising trend in lumber is
not improbable Price cuts are
made with the avowed purpose of
Initiating a construction wave that
manufacturers of materials believe
will strengthen prices. and certainly
Will preclude further reductions dur
ing the active season of the present
year. The Dow Service Daily re-
ports are confident that a turn in
building activity and prices has def
nitely come.
The public is by no means salts
fed with reductions thus far i'm the
cost Of building. Manufacturers plead
that profit at many points has disap-
peared and that cost o. production
forbids continued price reduction.
Labor cites the cost of living as JUS
tifcation of its resistance 10 defa-
ton. Both labor and the manufac-
turers may have some Justification
for their attitude. but they will dis
cover that it is not justification, but
q lower schedule of prices which the
public wants. The Chicago confer
ence on construction agreed that all

The girls Of the NJ. G. I. basket
ball team are feeling good over
the fact that they won the cham
pioDship Of the county. They
have not lost game. and our boys
have lost one this season.
Mrs. w. l.. Mckinney and
Marvin Hodson were motoring to
Irrelevant last Thursday afternoon
when they lost controli of the car
and ran off the bridge near DR..
Bryants. The car turned turtle
and had it not been for an old foot
bridge across the ditch, they would
have been sevenIy injured, if not
killed. The foot bridge cought
the car and partly held it up, SO
there was no damage except a
slight sprain and some bruises on
the Hodson boy. The top Of the
car was torn up also the wind
shield.
