Jr. Associated Press News Analyst ROME. Oct. 1B -(AP)-Italy 1i going to have to make important changes iri her economic set-up some of them requiring legislation before the European Recovery Program can get up a full head oi steam here. Officials say they are goingtodc it, but thy are up against some knotty problems. Italian industry struggles under some strange. burdens. Costs are assessed against it which diloouy. age both expansion and product- ion. There ls, for instance. a four. par-cent tax on transactions which increases the price of everything the manufacturer buys. Each suc- cessive handler of raw materials must. fix his price to include this 10W. ' One of the greatest, burdens is the system by which manufactur- ere are required to employ a large number of workers whom they db not need as an artificial mean: of preventing unemployment. There is a shortage of capital, with resultant high interest rates on money required for productive purposes. It's hard for the government in reduce taxes both because of the general post-war high cost situ- ation and because it is committed lo more social security expenditur- es than it can afford. But the over-hiring required of industry. increasing costs of raw materials and antiquated tax sys- tern are putting prices of finished products above the ability of the Italian people to pay and above the competitive level in foreign trade A public works program ls be- ing proposed in take care of at least a part of the over-hiring. and a new tax program is being devised, In the meantime.the work of the economic co-ordinating administration In Italy still is largely a relief program. American authorities. however. believe that by the first of the year. given the new laws promised by the Italians. emphasis can be shifted to recovery. Emphasis will he on railroads, ship-building, and on fertilizer, seeds and equip- ment for agricultural expansion E.C.A. officials here are deter- mined not to subsidize unecon- omic Industries. The Italian Gov- ernment will he required to see to it that firms to which it relays E. C.A. help will produce needed products at competitive prices. But one thing in quickly notice- able here. The ECA. staff isvery small, with a log of reins to hold. The United States Congress may have been "penny wise and pound foolish" when it put a 2,000,000 limit on the annual administrative costs’ ofthis worldwide organizat- ion. ~ Steel Imports Dut Affects B. 0., Alta.

Premier Manning laid he could not estimate "what this will mean to our Province" but the reduction announced in Ottawa today by Trade Minister Howe would have e lerlous effect on industry and manufacturing in Alberta.
