STEPS TAKEN TO CHECK Iti
CONTINUAL DEPRECIATION 9.(
OF ITALIAN MONEY be
fo
Rome, May 20.?(Correspondence of of
the Associated Press).?The continued va
depreciation of Italian money in for- pr
eign markets, despite the establish- ha
ment by the government of the Na- tic
tional Institute of Exchange early this clc
year for the purpose of reducing spec- is
ulation in lire, has led to the proposal mi
that Italy's allies help her by arbi- of
trarily fixing the rate of exchange as in<
it is claimed was done with France. 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

The whole question of the exchange

r and French paper money, as related to

It is further argued that Italy's

ports does not explain her difficulties.

same disproportion exists.

PLUCK
The man who had made a huge fortune
was speaking a few words to a
number of students at a business
class. Of course the main theme of
his address was himself. "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?"?
