Rome Letter

ROME, March ill-Harry A. Gar-l

field of the Williamstown Institute put in a very busy week in Rome. his days being crowded with 8111mm‘ merits. During his interview with Mussolini, which lasted half an hour. Garfield explained the objects and working of the Wllliamstown instit- ute of Historical and Political scl- ences. Mussolini showed Brest in- terest, and asked a number of GU65- tions.

The Williamstown Institute has invited three foreigners to 01561155 the unemployment problem this summer. One of them is a Ger- man. IllLUlEl‘ a communist from Russia. ivhiic the third in the. Ital- ian Academician Professor Pasquale Jannaccone. The selection of the latter was approved by the F8505!- government. Hc will set forth the Fascist point of view on thc unem- ployment question and thc Fascist remedies for 1L. Though Neapolitan by birth, Professor Janacconc lives in Turin, where he has made n. name for himself by his lectures and writ- ings on economic subjects. From 1910 to 1912 he was General Secretary of the international Institute of Agri- culture in Rome.

The new town plan for Rome just presented to the Duce by the Acad- emician and architect Marcello Piacentinl ls generally agreed to be a. noble and ambitlousscheme. Too ambitious say some critics, but at any rate on broad and generous lines. It provides for a Rome with two mil- lion or more ‘inhabitants, and it is calculated‘ that at the present rate of increase in the population,, Rome will easily reach this figure by 1945 or 1946. .

The plan provides for a city with broad elegant avenues, offering sweeping views of the famous relics of antiquity. Two new avenues will be built radiating southwards from Piazza del Popolo, while four other arteries will cut the city from East to West. There will be a street run- ning parallel with the Corso, which will relieve it of the heavy traffic it now carries.

As likely as not, irhat will hap- pen when the boring for the tun- nels begins. is that important arch- eologlcal finds will be made,» and then the old fight between engin- eers and archeologlsts will be on once again. The latter will protest as they have often done in similar occasions that it is desecration to disturb the remains of Imperial Rome for subway tunnels. and the engineers will answer that modern Rome must have its modern trans- port and cannot sacrifice its mobility to the past.

It is calculated that l5 years at least will be required for the reali- zation ot the cntirc scheme. It could be done of course in much less time, but the expense will be very great and must be spread over a. number of years.

The Red Cross issued corn chops to the Craighead farmer with which to feed his livestock. Rumors circulated back to the relief agency that the chops were being used illegally.

Red Cross omctals ordered an in- vcstigction and evidence revealed that Vandiver had been using the chops for the manufacture of liquor. A grand Jury indicted him for liquor law violations.

War Obligations Deterring Trade

TORONTO, March 17.—"I believe that one of the ‘most deterring in- fluences of the resumption of nor- mal trade ia the presence of huge war obligations, repayment of which and the interest upon them are re- ducing the buying power of debtor countries to such an extent as to make normal trade conditions im- possible." said E.

None of the liquor went from this country to the United States this year. but 275,309 gallons of it were exported to St. Pierre. This compared with only 84,638 gallons during January and February of 1930. Last month saw a large increase over January shipments, the figures being 212.225 against 08,084. British possessions in the West Indies received more liquor from Canada than formerly, with British Honduras registering the most noteworthy increase. Exports to that colony rose in the first two months of 1931 from 15,901 gallons for the corresponding period a year ago to 57,498 gallons.

The eves-day things of life are those to which we frequently pay the least attention and yet they are of the greatest importance. The loss for instance, due to plant disease, is easily realized when a potato crop is completely destroyed by late blight killing the mpg mg mm“ m, tubers; when turnips in the field wilt in the hot sun and die from club root or when the apple] are gnarled or cracked by scab.

e oss no ap- preciated untll they are raised in quantity for sale and the grower sees the amount that has to be discarded. The potato crop furnishes an ex- cellent example of the losses that may occur as a result of a number of diseases. The crop may be totally dc- stroyed by late blight. The tubers may be unsightly and ineli- market value reduced by scab, rhlmctonia, or silver scurf. The stand may be thin- ned out. by damping-off (rhizoctonis) and black leg or the yield may be re- duced as. a, result of wilts, stem can- kers. early blight, leaf roll and the mosaics. There is hardly a potato field in the Maritime Provinces that cannot furnish examples of every one of these ‘iseases. Finally, after the crop is harvested, there may be losses from rots due to poor storage conditions. All these troubles take a share of the crop and the farmer takes what is left. He slim for a 40o or 500 bushel crop and if his “luck is good" he gets it. but the average crop is below 200 bushels. His aim is thwarted by disease. Scab is the most difficult disel-le that the apple grower has to combat

in Nova‘ Scotla. An estimate was madeat the Dominion Laboratory of plant pathology, Kentville. in 1m when scab was especially severe, that the direct loss of the growers was $750,000. Yet a consideration of the damage for the past ycar, when scab was easily controlled. would indi- cate a lcsl of approximately $248.00).

It can not be too emphatically stated that the grower should con- sider every point that has a bearing on the yield of his crops. Proper rctection from disease can pay such large dividends thatt it warrants the trouble to seek prompt advice by letter or consultation from the plant pathologist stationed in the lo- callty. via: Fredericton, Charlotte. town, or Kentville, who will be pleas- edtoadviscastothe butler-lawn methods of combating the various

*=== Bank Experts Review Rising Bond Prices

MO ‘March, i7.—mdlcat- ions that there is now under way a boom in bonds almost comparable u; that in stocks during 1923.29 i; son. servatively but strikingly set forth iii the monthly letter of the Royal Bank of Canada, publish- ed last week. Tables showing the up- prcciatlcn of foreign Government bonds would seem to indicate that the movement toward higher 197th is already hers. During the last Ill weeks striking advances have taken place in those foreign Government bonds which are slightly below the

ies. Furthermore, according to the Royal Bank's letter. this appreciating bond market should continue for some time, probably for two or three years. possibly longer.

“It is a mistake to think that be- cause active movement in the bond market got undcr way in January, i931, that prices will quickly nwh and pus their high point. A M’! bond market lasts fai- into the per- lod of business recovery and the many special influences tending to produce lower interest rates are like- ly to do much to prolong the pru- ent upward trend in bond prices." says the banks letter.

If the rise in bonds continues, it will have the moat striking results- For example, if the yield on Brit- ish, Government bonds should fall copra-war lévcls it would involve an increase of 1200 or more in the price of s. thousand dollar bond. A sen"- al movement towards lower yield for bonds would have a remarkable et- fect upon industry. and will!" moi-c than any other single factor. would put an and to the present de- pression. It would enable industry to-obtcln capitol at reasonable ram of interest and many nuthoritlll think that. the depression cmnfll end without this condition comlnl about.
