Vt As Italy must import large quanti- m< ties of war materials in order to keep fo: in the fight and as she must pay not lir only high current prices but $1.80 of her money for every dollar of material va she buys, it is pointed out that she is cu: carrying more than her share of the in< war burden. tei Since the eestablishment of the con- de trol by the government of the ex- pu change, the price a dollar brings in ar "SaveM< j k We offer ec Am.

The whole question of the exchange lue of Italian money has been disssed by a series of articles from bus ;ss men in the Popolo Romano, atnpting to locate the causes of the preciation of Italian money with the rpose of finding a remedy.

It is argued that English r and French paper money, as related to . the gold reserve of these nations, has ? been issued in greater proportions than r that of Italy, which has between 25 . and 30 per cent gold reserve. 1 Germany, it is stated, has but 14 ? per cent of gold as compared to her ; paper issues, her gold reserve feeing ! this high because of her inability to > buy abroad.

"All my success in life, all my tremendous financial prestige," he said proudly, "I owe to one thing alone?pluck, pluck, pluck!" He made an impressive pause here, but the effect was ruined by one student, who asked impressively: "Yes, sir; but how are we to find the right people to pluck?"? Exchange. w. s. s.
