ROME, December 22.-Italy was on
gold basis today. with the Ira es-
tablished at the ratio of 10 to the
dollar. One gold Ira will be worth
SO paper lire.
The decree of the council of min
listers announcing the sterilization
marked the elimination of cam.
paien started by Premier Mussoiini
in a speech at Pesaro more than
year ago. He then started "a pat
tie for the revaluation Of the Ira.

negotiations by BENJAMIN Strong. gov

ernor of the Bank of England; Donaldo
Stringher, director general or the
Bank of Italy, and group or Anglo

opened.
Does Not Affect Loans.
The sterilization does not affect
various American loans made to the
Italian government, several munich
palities and many private concerns.
Payment of interest as well as princl-
nal of these is to be made in dollars.
These include a loan Of 100000, 600

for the reasons-irst, because, as hap
pened in other countries, 1t would be
to the advantage of the forces OF in
