The prediction that when Congress

IS SOUGHT BY ITALY
Credit Sought of AngIo-Amer-

Consolidate Lira.
BY HIRAM X. MODERWELL.

News. Copyright. 1927.
ROME. February IA new large
loan to consolidate the Ira and ease
Italy. internal credit and the foreign
trade situation is being negotiated be-
tween the Italian government and an
Anglo-American banking group, with
the result still uncertain.
The first proposals were made III
London and New York in December
and among the banks named are
]. p. Morgan & Co.. the National Bank
of New York, Barclays & Hambros OF
London and also the Banca CONNER
cial Italiana and the Credto Italiano.
Sum Put at SeOO, ,OOO, 900.
1t is understood the sum discussed
is upward of $500 100000. Such
sum is necessitated by Italy's finan-
cial policy, which severely restricts
credit and prejudices export trade.
The recent Ectoral loan partially
served this purpose: 800. 100000 in
cash was thereby secured tbesides
1000 900 more pledged), which will
be loaned largely to industry against
the bonds themselves.
This has sufficiently eased the finan.
cldt SITUATION 10 permit premier MUS
solini to continue his policy of re-
valuation of the Ira. which was for
mally confirmed at a recent cabinet
meeting. although the industrialists
desired stabilization near the present
level.
Material Pledge Required.
Revaluation of the lira involves con.
tinued restriction of the currency, and
hence continued commercial depres-
sion. Under the present policy no ul.
innate level is fixed for the lira. Re-
valuation with all it's economic conse-
quences might continue until the pre-.
war gold level was reached.
The Anglo-American Banking Syn
dicate requires material pledge and
for this purpose the Italian tobacco
monopoly is being transformed into q
syndicate, whose
profits would guarantee the loan. Itis

chequer Churchill discussed this with

BENEFIT FROM
NEW GAS TAX
UNDETERMINED
Fisher Says Receipts Of Sum.
mer Months Should Help
to Boost Totals

Although collections from the new
two-cent gasoline tax for the first
three months of 1927 make an un.
favorable showing in comparison
with collections from the old one.
cent tax for the first three months
of 1925, it is much too early to deter.
mine how the new tax will work
out, according to State Treasurer G.
A. Fisher and other state officials.
Collections for the first three
months Of 1927 were: January, $15,.
600; February, $4,000, and March
$4,000. These figures represent the
revenue derived by the state after
deductions for refunds had beer
made, Fisher said.
For the first three months of 1926
under the one-cent law, the record
was: January, $i5,367.41; February
$5S,O6l.28 and March $43,543.O7.
The comparison is not as bad as
it looks, however, Fisher said, since
the One-cent tax was collected or
shipments Of gasoline into the state
while the new tax is collected or
sales of gasoline for use by vehicles
operating on the highways.
With thousands Of tractors in
operation during spring work it is
expected that refunds will be un.
usually heavy during the next two
months, since the law provides that
gasoline used in farm impleme nts
and in vehicles used in repairinn
roads is not taxable.
When the tourist season opens and
the roads get good, however, Fisher
expects to see sharp increase in the
gasoline tax receipts. Long summer
evenings when citizens take to their
automobiles for pleasure rides should
do much to swell the states treas.
ury, he said.
