ROME, June 11.--Italys reputed
poverty in natural mineral resources

moro than 80 years and extensive de
posits of coal.
Within q relatively short period Of
years. he said. Italy will be able to
balance the present seriously adverse
trade balance.
The existence of petroleum ia
large quantities is proven by impor-
tant deposits of bituminous schist
and asphaltic rocks at Ragusa. Nj

said. theological investigation shows
the existence of great deposits of coal
