ITALIAN JOBLESS
PROBLEM SOLVED
Ambassador Martina, After
Visit, Says Government Gre
ates Work for Unemployed.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

He who does not work in Italy can
not offer the excuse that there is no
work to do Mobile Giacomo de Martina
Ambassador from Italy, who has re-
Gently returned from a vacation spent
at Cortina d'AmpeZzo. in the Italian
Alps, says that unemployment in his
country, due to the industrial depres
sion felt throughout the word. has
been efficiently taken care Of by the
government.
Government Creates Work.
"The problem OF unemployment In
Italy is not as difficult as 1t is in other
countries" he said Efficient measures
have been taken by the administration
to meet the situation. Differing from
other countries, there Is no dole or
pension paid to the unemployed in
Italy. The government creates work
for the unemployed, such as road con-
struction. reclamation of lands and
erection of public buildings. The rail-
road station at Milan, which is almost
completed and will be one of the most
beautiful in Europe, was built by gov
eminent funds. Thus by creating pub
lie works, money spent upon their cen
struction inst ad of being paid in pen
sions or doles to unemployed, gives
results that may serve for present and
future generations"
The reclamation work bling done
upon farm lands of South IN Italy has
been particularly helpful To the Italian
workers, the Ambassador said.
FORMERLY he explained, Gland
owners had great tracts Of uncultivated
lands. Now they are obliged to cult
vate these lands. which gives more work
for the peasants. 1t also means that
more houses must BE- built for these
people, in order that they may live near
the lands"

There is no doubt that the de-
