ITALY FACES PROBLEM'~
IN FaOODSUFFPRICES
Enormous Sums Paid for Bread, Lux-
uries; High Wages Held Re-
sponsible
Rome, Dec. 15.-(Delayed.)-The
Italian government is facing an al-
most unsolvable problem in the ques-
tion of the cost of the nation's bread.
During and since the war the price
of bread was kept down artificially,
the government paying $1,000,000,000
and even lately $1,250,000,000 yearly
as the difference between the actual
cost of the flour and the price paid
by the consumer.
The price of a kilo (21/5 pounds),
of ordinary bread used to be equiva-
lent to nine cents, or of a finer quality
11 or 12 cents; now the price for the
same quantity of inferior bread is 21
cents a kilo, and the Italian working
classes utterly refuse to pay the bal-
ance, which would increase the cost
to them to 40 cents or even half a dol-
lar a kilo.
Italian workingmen are now paid
wages which compare favorably with
the salaries doled out to officers in the
army or heads of government depart-
ments, and do not hesitate to pay
enormous sums for wine, tobacco and
luxuries for their table. A mason,
blacksmith or cabinet-maker used to
consider himself well paid with ;less
than a dollar a day. Now they earn
$6.50, $7.00 and $8.00 a day, and look
forward to having more in the future.

Until the present year the societyI

its recognition as an important major
