ITALY WANTS TO BARTER.

Washington a reduction of her war
debts to the United States were studied
here today. This activity Is being pur-
sued in the belief President Roose-
welt desires trade concessions for the
United States as q premise to debt re-
vision. -
The foreign office issued b statement
that nothing had been decided re-
garding lump sum offer Of settle
ment to the United States and fiatly
denied reports that a settlement Of
500, 100000 was contemplated.
Premier Mussolinis Milan newspaper,
Popolo DItalia, asserted Italy would
prepare for the conference, lending
credence to the belief II Duce has ap-
proved Italy's participation in the
Washington conference.
Trade experts pointed out the like
hhood that the United States and Italy
would reach trade agreement supple
menting the debt settlement. They said,
however, although Italy might make
certain concessions, the United States
must reciprocate in kind, particularly
by lowering tariffs.
Italy has been swinging from most
favored" naticn treaties to special
agreements, particularly Will kSuSoAo'
Austria and Hungary. Commercial re-
lations with Russia now have fallen
down and Italy did not desire to make
a new trade agreement. The United
