CAN DEFEAT
SANCTION HUNGER
Food Resources MarshaIed
Against Needs for Self.
Sufficiency.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME, February 1.--Fascist econo-
mists have balanced Italy's food re.
sources against her needs and def1ci.
encies and found her able to resist
indefinitely starvation by sanctions.
They show production of wheat. rye,
rice lima beans, greens, potatoes,
fresh and dried fruits, wines, oranges
and lemons. sugar and cheeses are
equal to essential consumption.
In some instances, production is not
equal to present consumption but ex-
perts are showing the way to make
necessary substitutions.
In other cases, there are surpluses
to be diverted to new uses or eliminate
ed. There are surpluses of rice,
greens, fruit, wines. the citrus fruits
and sugar. Mussolini wants the peo-
pie to eat more green's, fruit and
cheeses, thus helping to make the now
inadequate meat supply suffice. The
rice, wine and sugar surpluses are
to provide fuel alcohols.
Inadequate to the country's needs
are corn, oats, barley, white beans
and oils and meats. The Fascist an
swers to these problems have been laid
out. however. Corn is to continue
coming from -sanctionist coun-
tries. Oat production is to be in
creased. For the rest. cattle are to
be given more beans. rice and other
foods.
Importation of barley for beer is to
stop. Brewers are told to find other
materials. A system is advertised for
producing excellent" beer from wine.
Barley is also to be discouraged as q
coffee adulterant and substituted by
other grains as food for animals. Pro-
.duction of white beans Is to be in
creased.
Italy, boasted as "the home Of olive
oils" does not produce enough of that
product for her own needs. The
Fascist answer is. tWofold: Substitute
other oils and stretch the present olive
oil supply by using the melted husks,
now discarded, for cooking Italians
Of Central and Northern Italy are re-
minded their countrymen Of the south
have been doing this for years.

Mr.. Cochran nevertheless believes that
children of the stage are not to be
placed in the same category as those
unfortunates who were once won't to
slave in factories and sWeatshops. He
knows that stage children have more
advantages than the usual run. Also,
he realizes that a law which forbids
children on the stage deprives the
theater of some grand entertainment.
Already, Washington has lost the
Pulitzer prize play, THE Old Maid"
because children cannot be seen west
of Washington footlights. AS Mrs.
Norton has fought for child-labor laws

ROME, February 1.-The cost OF

about $s9, 100000 month.
At the same time, it is said IN we'll
informed financial circles that sui
ficient funds are on tap to nnance
the war for full year.
Nevertheless, one financial expert
said, anything may happen" II the
war drags on.
The printing press is working. this
source said, turning out money to
nav for some of the governments mill
tary expenditures.
However, the collection OF large
amounts of gold from the public ex-
ceeds the bank notes issued, so that
in recent months there is said to have
been an upturn in the gold coverage.
S3s0,339 900 Gold Reserve.
On October 20, the last time the
Bank of Italy made public its state
ment. Italys gold reserve was given
as somewhat more than $3.50 $4,000.
Since then Mussolini has withheld
publication of all vital banking sta
tistics in order to hide his strength or
weakness from the eyes Of the world.
Against that gold there were issued
somewhat more than sl,359,742,OO0 IN
bank notes, giving effect to gold cov-
erage of about Is per cent.
Since then, the financial expert al
firmed, the Bank of Italy has received
about s178,OO0,000 in gold from we'd
ding rings, medals and jewelry given
to the State or bought from the public.
Between the date of issuance OF the
last bank statement and the gold do
nations by the public it is understood
that italy exported approximately s89,.
100000 in gold to pay for oil, cotton
and other war materials to create a
reserve against possible embargo.
Meanwhile. the paper circulation
was said to have climbed about $685.

Deposits From Abroad.
None of the bank deposits and Sc
curities abroad requisitioned from ma
tionals by the Italian government are
said to have been touched. The Bank
of Italy has put this aggregate at
about $445, 100000.
In addition, the war lean CONVEX

.LAWES PREPARES
NEW PRISON BOOKS
Text Book and Novel Are
Based on Sing Sing War
den's Experience.

NEW YORK. February 1.-Two new
books are in immediate prospect from
Lewis E. Lawes, Sing Sing Prisons
warden.
The first, text book, will measure
the needs of academic instruction
within prison walls; the second, a
novel, will trace the course of a con-
vict after he has been restored to
society.
The warden's idea of the text book
Is the outgrowth of vigorous cam
paigning for an accredited inside"
educational program. Already Sing
Sing has three-story high school,
with adequate facilities for 2,400 men.

college class rooms, a precedent al
ready we'll established
Has Precedent for Novel.
With the archives of 81 years at his
disposal, there also will be plenty Of
precedent for the central character
III Lawes' novel. There are plenty Of
instances, he says. where men have
overcome the stigma of prison records
and returned to society in useful Ca
pacities.
Such instances, Warden Lawes be-
lieves, result from the stimulating in
fluence of intelligent reform, such as
the three point plan now in vogue at
Sing Sing.
The first point is that prisoners be

The second justifies Sing Sings all
