(United Px!eg Bt Correspondent) Rome, Feb.' 10:~Along with Italy’s present effort to free herself from the bondage:of foreign coal domination ‘hy'the electrification of her state rail- ways; Italy - is making. - an ‘equally heroic effort to throw. off the yoke of foréign tobacco slavery. Between What Italy now pays for foreign coal .and foreign tobacco, it can be truthfully said that a goodly portion of “her fiational wealth goes annually ‘up in smoke—and foreign smoke at that. Whet makes it particularly hard for Italy to gain her tobacco inde- pendence is the fact that just as she gets her nostrils nicely filled with the sweet scent of liberty and is on the point of burning her betters with the lighted 'stump of a domestic made cigar, the Italian population as a whole suddenly takes to'smoking more than ¢ver, and Italy has.to return to spend millions, abroad i order. to supply the demand. < Before the war Itely smoked 400, 000,000-lire. warth. of cigars and cig- arettes. annually. - Now she smokes 2,700,000,000. ~ While. a _portion of this incregse is due to the advance in prices charged, yet the gréater bulk of ‘it is due to the fect that the war taught ‘hundreds . of thousands . of young men 'to:smoke, many of whom had they remained in_ their native :peasant districts would not have been -able to, and also to the fact that Ital- ian ‘women are in'no way behind thelr sisters of other modern civilized na- tions in taking to the wicked weed. All of this has a very direct bear- ing upon Italy’s finances owing to the fact that the government operates a ! state:monopoly on tohacco in Italy as H regards both the manufacture and the ¥ sale. As she also: has to buy the raw product the question of whether she{*] i can produce enough at home to sup- ply her local demand or whether she ! has to 'bu yabroad ‘thereby increasing ‘ ‘her exportations and sending up her | exchange, becomes of great import- ance. Italy’s monopoly on tobacco is the only one that as a matter of fact nas been a real success as a révenue pro- ducer, this on a basis of about 70 per cent profit. In other words of the 7,000, 000 live ‘which the -Italian* public spends every day for tobacco, 5,000, 000 lire goés into the state treasury as profit and réveniue-and only 2,000 000 lire actually goes up in smoke. Frankly, Italy ‘thinks that it would hardly, be_ possible -to: do better than (™ this; in fact she doubts if the public would starid for a: larger percentuge of ‘tax and a smaller ‘ratio of smoke. Hence her only chance of making i monopaly mare profitable to the state is by producing all of her tobacco at home and mvoiding. foreign :purchascs of the raw: material{ : The government is therefore en- couraging end deing everything pos- sible to promote tobacco growing. ‘However, Italian peasants-ave neither * fond of novelties in the matter of crops or of the difficulties involved in :;Blfi:% growing, bu;t little by little an governy <freedom. from Yo . {At the present time thé Ttalian gov: :er£1|efit :pe\\dn ?80;000,00\)““1'0 ans nually for raw ‘tobaceo ot which only 180,000,000 is -spent_at home, the @‘5&300.‘70‘0.‘]00 _goipg.to foreign 0 growersy. - ! o \date:Btaly hasymade the most the growing of light to: mflefi wfiich’ig?nses:so;ooo quin- “tals ‘annuall the sauthern prov- ince of Dgcces: yut 20,000 Heres are now under c'tivation and this about supp'ies the Tocal demand. ¢ ‘With durk tobeeco of the ‘Ken- tucky” type for her cigars Italy is not su fortinate.
