Bit one problem here has no coun- Rerpart In America. It i8 the coal fam- ine. This is the worst trouble this ‘country has to face. Everything else pales before it, for the lack of coal is paralyzing industry, closing factories and casting thousands of men and wo- men out of employment, People who {lsten with or ~without approval, to 'D'Annunzio’s wild diatribes against \herican® and especially against Pres- sdent Wilson, know at the bick 6f their ygfnih that only the coal famine really siRtters. “a Coal_Scarcity Threatens Ruln. lury thinking man and woman here m!n that ‘ualess the coal famine is stopped, ruin will soon stare Italy im the face.

Lack of Coal Basis of Problems. The question is like a magic circle, you go round and round all the prob- lems: which are .causing . strikes throughout the country—dear living, lack of - raw materials, transports, dear forelgn- money, ‘and you always get back to coal. Without cqal there are no industries, without -industries there are no exports, without exports there is no money.
