BEYOND THE ITALIAN FROM
TIER.-The slow Strangulation OF
italian economy by British seapower
comes as no surprise. But with in
dustrial production roughly so per
cent off in a year and with the
peasants and workers lacking spa
ghetti and olive oil, something more
than the British blockade is at
work. The Nazis have come into
Italy and when they run over land
they strip it as clean as plague of
locusts.
First, the blockade. The last off,
cial trade figures available for Italy
covered the year 1893, which is a
normal period. The impressive
thing about italian imports is that
they came from the British and
French Empires or from neutrals
beyond the SueZ, Gibraltar and the
Dardanelles. The statistics are elo-
quent for that year.
Of 1,571,0 quintals of raw cot
ton imported by Italy, 1887 900
quintals came from beyond the Suez,
Gibraltar, the Dardanelles or re-
gions under British control OF
326,000 quintals of raw wool, 305 900
lay under British control. Of iron
ore importationS totaling 100000
quintals, 2,829,000 quintals came
from regions now under the blockade
or crippled by German occupation,
while the similar figure on scrap
steel was 5,162,000 of total of
100000 quintals imported. Of a
total of 14,742, 900 quintals of crude
oil imported, 1858 900 Quintals came
from the British and French En-
pires and 11,324,0O0 quintals from
regions now intercepted by British
naval strength.
Stocked Few Vital Materials.
In the first year of the war and
before her own entry, Italy stocked
very little of these vital imports
The British kept keen eye for that
and Italy was short of gold Con-
sequently. it is easy to understand
why so many Italian factories are
idle today.
The Germans want textiles. bu
the splendid factories around Milar
are working at half capacity, founc
in visits there, because there is very
little cotton. Wool already is en-.
tirely exhausted, I understand. This

stand, while there were unconfrmec
reports as I left Rome that the vast
Fiat Works which keep Turin alive
were virtually shutting down.
Drafted for German Factories.
German policy, in face of the
problem of Italian collapse, has LED
to great deal more than the entry
of German managers into Italian
factories and German capitalists
into control of industrial shares
With disdain for individual
rights only equaled in Communist
Russia. Hitler has drafted skilled

s CHICAGO, April 17.-Heavy in
creases in the production of pork
and dairy products are imperative
to meet domestic and British re-
quirements, farm leaders were told
yesterday by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wickard and his assistants.
In addition to raising our output
of these products to supply the
larger domestic demand resulting
from industrial expansion, practical
ly all British food requirements must
be filled by the United States" Sec
retary Wickard said.
He addressed representatives Of

mittees from 10 corn belt States who
gathered to hear details of the Gov
ernment's plan to maintain mini
mum prices of So for hogs, 81 cents
for butter, IS cents for chickens
and % cents for eggs.
Needs of Britain in Mind.
The price-supporting program,
Secretary Wickard said, was charted
with the needs of Great Britain and
her Allies IN mlnd.
Britain and the other democra-
cies," he said, want some things
made available to them under the
lease-lend bill that we do not nor
mally export. Because of the time

secure these supplies anywhere else"

O. M. Reed, dairy chief of the

cate an increase of or 3 per cent
In milk production in the IS months
ending July, 1912, compared with
the previous IS months, but that an
additional or per cent increase is
imperative.
Porter Henry, chief of the Fruit
and Vegetable Division, said pro-
duction of tomatoes and dried beans
for Gamers also must be stepped up.
Larger Pig Crops Needed.
The farm leaders were told that
the 1912 spring pig crop must be
larger than this years and that hogs
marketed next fall should be at least
10 pounds heavier than the average
market weight
Secretary Wickard said much of

Plane Got No Warning

BY the Associated Press

BY tpe Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, April 17.-Co-pilot B.
M. Crabtree of the Eastern airliner
which crashed April west of Vero
Beach said yesterday the plane re-
ceived no warning from preceding
ship of severe storm.
Mr.. Crabtree, one of 16 occupants
injured in the crash, said in hos
pital interview that message from
the first plane instructed him to stay
out of the way because the preceding
ship was attempting to land at Vero
Beach.
Both he and Capt. Gerald O'Brien,
Mr.. Crabtree said, presumed the
other plane was returning because
of motor trouble. He said static may
have interfered with another part
of the message telling of the storm.
A congressional committee headed
by Representative Nichols, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma said Monday that
"both the ground stations and pilot
Of the Inflated ship failed to ap-
preciate the Importance OF the mes
sage which the preceding pilot at
tempted to send them"
The accident might have been
avoided, Mr. Nichols declared, had
