LIRA TO oTAY
 ON GOLD BASIS
Finance Minister Confirms Statement-Big Rise in
 Gold Reserves

Rome, (UP)-Guido Jung, minis- ter of finance, omphatically recon firmed recently that the Ira will remain on it's present gold basis, namely at tho parity fixed when 1t was devalued and stabilized in De- cembor, 1927.
 Minister lungs statement was interpreted in financial circles as n direct reply to n new. crop of rumors as to tho probable reac. ton on the gold bloc countries of tho huge gold exodus of last February from Europe to tho United States.
 The recently published sltua. ton of the Bank of Italy con- firmed this stand. While the gold reserves rose from 7,0D6.9 million lions on February 20, tho foreign bills and balances abroad fell from 30f.2 million iire to 156.4 millions, but thls decline, the bank statement added, was offset by that of the notc circulation. The figures, in fact, revealed that the note circulation fell from 12,s05.f million lire on January 20 to f2,- 46t.2 millions on February 20. The gold note cover. therefore, rose to 57 per cent, and now stands at 5i.08 per cent for all slight lia- bilities.
 Minister lungs recent an- nounccment in the senate that the government would undertake permanent rencdJustments re- quired to balance national re- ceipts and expenditures was fol- lowed swiftlF by action. Last Feb- ruary [, in fact, a decree law was published for the conversion ' oi tho ] per cent perpetual consoli. dated loans by the Issue of n new redeemablc $50 per cent to Dc oxtingulshed over n period of 41 years beginning on January 1 1887.
