The painting is to be done by Giuseppe Trotta, a distinguished artist of Italy, who expects to begin' the work in“a few days and complete it before the conference for the limitation of armaments begins its sessions in this oity. The movement Italians to present Secretary Hug portrait to the Italian government was prompted not only by their desire to pay. a personal tribute to Mr. Hughes but_also by a growing sentiment of friendliness and understanding between Italy .and the United Stateg Mr. Hughes has endeared himself particularly te that element by what he has done to promote closer relations .betw; the two countries, especially w] he served as president of the Italy- among “the 5 | | | America; Society. The plan was originated in the Italian colony in New York city. It met with such immediate approval that a general committee was appointed to further it. Justice John J. Freschi of the court of special sessions is chairman of the com- mittee. Among. its members are Florella H, L. La Guardia, president of the board of aldermen; State Senator, -Salvatore Cotilla, Prof. Angelo Patri and Dr. Pasquale Badia. The requ: for Secretary Hughes to “pose Yor - his portrait ‘was made after the committee had ascertained through the Italian ambassador at Washington that the proposed gift. would be most acceptable to the Italian govern- ment. Those interested believe that the portrait will be hung in one of the halls of state in Rome, if not in_the office of the premier. The signatures of the 100,000 Italians interested in the move- ment are being bound in a hani- some volume, which wilt be .brought._te- this city by a special committee and presented ' ‘o Secretary Hughes in his office in the State Department. . e in P y in Paragraphs| Real work of revising revenue law be- gun.

Prices and credit now are “work- ing fo a new level,” Gov. Strong said, gnd as banks get out of debt to the reserve bank their surplus funds commence competing for use, and we get a new and cheaper credit cost. ““These movements go in cycles, and we have now entered the cycle of recovery,” he added.
