CHEAPER MONEY NEED
OF FRENCH INDUSTRY
Reductions Necessary, Says
Paris Newspaper.

PARIS, Feb. Fl ASSOCIATED Press) -
The Government would economize to the
extent of 300.oo0.000 francs in interest
by the proposed reduction of "a per cent.
in the interest on national defence bonds.
the Temps calculates to-day. without Sc
riously endangering withdrawal OF for
eign money, estimated at 100000, 600
francs
1t was fear Of frightening that capital,
says the Temps, which caused delay In
the reduction of the price of money
until the rates in the United States and
Great Britain had fallen. But lessened
dangers and vital need of financing in
dustry necessitate French reductions
now, says the paper.
It is assumed in financial circles that
the Bank OF France will soon reduce its
rate II per cent. after the Government
shall have made its reduction. The
Temps, however, fears some danger of
holders OF 10000, 100000 francs Of af-
fected securities demanding reimburse
ment at their maturity and asks what
the Government could do IL only 10000

Offer Of Alabama Power
Company.

WAsnrSGroN. Feb. 21.--Congress re-
ceived to-day the offer OF the Alabama
Power Company for purchase and lease
OF the Governments nitrate and power
projects at Muscle Shoals.
In referring the proposal TO the legis-
lative body for final decision, involving
its acceptance or rejection as a coinpeti-
tor to the offer already made by Henry
Ford for the same properties, Sec. etary
Weeks made no specific recommendation
other than to say indirectly he believed
the new offer should be referred TO the
committees of the Senate and House now
engaged upon consideration of the Ford
offer.
The letter OF transmission, addressed
to The President Of the Senate and

Railroad Official Says Rates
Have No Effect.

CHICAGO. Feb. 21.--The American
live stock industry needs advertising
more than lowered freight rates. Charles
Dillon, assistant to the chairman Of the
Association OF Railway Executives. said
to-day. The cattle growing business
feels depression engendered by adver-
tising during war time In which meat
less days were set and during which the
National Dairy Association spent liter
ally hundreds of thousands of dollars
advertising the comparative nutritive
value of milk. cream and cheese and
butter and ice cream. his statement said.
"What was the resultT' the statement
asked. '"rhe per capita consumption of
meat and lard in the United States was
1914 pounds In 1900. In 1920 Il had
fallen to 154.3 pounds, decrease In two
decades of 27.2 pounds per capita an
nually.
Railroad rates had nothing to do
with this situation. AS the demand for
meat decreased very naturally the
prices fell. Throughout this entire pc
riod of decreasing prices and lessening
demand the live stock industry did not
spent dollar to overcome the depres-
sion. The people have been educated
AWAY from meat. In the absence OF the
patriotic appeal they can be trained In

RICCI SAYS AMERICA
BARS ITALY PAYING
Prohibitive Tariffs and Re-
strictive immigration Are
Obstacles. He Asserts.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21.--Prohibitive
tariffs against italian goods and restric-
tive laws against Italian immigration
are stumbling blocks in Italy's way to-
ward the payment of her debt resulting
from the world war. Senator vittorio
Rolandi Ricci. italian Ambassador to
the United States, declared tonight in
an address before the Philadelphia Ro-
tary Club. If italy cannot export her
products TO America and cannot send
her laborers here, he said, she will never
have the means to pay her debt.
Discussing the reestablishment OF
commercial relations between italy and
Russia, the Ambassador pointed out that
his country, quite apart from any
political influence or any question of
recognition Of the Soviets." had found 1t
desirable 20 resume trade relations with
Russia as q means toward resump-
tion of economic activities and OF the
supply of much needed wheat. He said
that Italy had no prejudice against the
recognition of the Soviets and that they
would be recognized when il Is in
ltaly's interest TO do so."
Speaking of the depreciation in Italian
exchange. the Ambassador declared
that the lire was actually worth much
moro than the value placed on II in
foreign markets. "Tts differentiation,
he said, "can only be explained on the
basis of mistaken calculations, igno-
rance or speculation"
Ambassador Ricci said he did not
think 1t logical or just" that America
should decline to have anything to do
with European affairs. 1T is not logi-
cal," he declared. because il you have
n credit against some private person
you do not certainly feel that you must
decline to interest yourself In his cir
cumstances. but you are rather in
clined to help him pay you his debt in
the shortest possible time. IL Is not
just. because If you find that the peace
treaties signed In Europe are ineffcc.
tual. either on account OF exaggerations
or deficiencies you must not overlook
the fact that man who spoke and
acted in your name had n preponderan'
part in making them. Therefore. II you
find that we have not attained rea'
peace you must ALSO consider that Eu-
rope Is not alone TO blame for IL. and
that justice requires that you act with
us TO correct our common mistakes"
The Ambassador referred briefly tc
the Washington arms conference. de-
claring that now that naval armaments
had been reduced. he was convinced
that all nations eventually would curtai
their land armamcnts.
