The first propos were made in London and New York in December and among the banks named are J. P. Morgan & Co., the National Bank of New York, Barclays & Hambro's of London and alse the Banca Commer- ; cial Italiana and the Credito Ttaliano, Sum Put at $200,000,000. It is understood the sum discussed is upward of $200,000,000. Such a sum is necessitated by Italy’s finan- cial policy, which severely restri credit and .prejudices export trac The recent lictoral loan partially erved this purpose: $100,000.000 in sh was thereby secured (besides ,000,000 more pledged), whicl will be loaned Jargely to industry against the bonds themselves, This has sufficiently eased the finant cial situation to permit Premier Mus solini to continue his policy of re- valuation of the lira, which was fo | mally confirmed at a recent ¢ | meet nlthou the indus | desired stabilization near the present level. By Material Pledge Required. Revaluation of the lira involv | tinued restriction of the currenc | hence continued commercial depres- | sion. Under the present policy no ul- timate level is fixed for the lira. Re- valuation with all its economic conse- quences might continue until the pre- war gold level was reached. The Anglo-American Banking dicate requires a material pledge and for this purpose the Italian tobacco monopoly is being transformed into 4 | semi-autonomous ndicate, whose ntee the loan.
