By Radio to The Star. ROME, June 15.—Discussion of the budget of the minister of national econ- omy in the Chamber of Deputies this week, and the marginal press com-| ments on the same subject, have re- vealed that Italy's ecomonic condition | furnishes a basis for :"" preoccupa- i T o, s T s n the Tace were' discussed both Deputies and government ministers wnh | surprising frankness.

There was a general reemén that. something radical has done in order that Italy can hold her | economic head above waver. ‘While the minister of national econ omy, Martelli, asserted that Italy’ M!veru trade balance was rtian ately n ater than before the 'lr he ch eless did not hide a certa: anxiety felt from the fact that ]fllya national trade deficit for 1928 ambunted to 7,600,000 lire, 2,500.00 more than in 1927, and that a similar adverse tend- ency is already manifest for the eny | year.

Imported foodstuffs account for about 37 per cent of the national adverse commercial balance. For the ‘past four years extraordinary efforts—through what is known as the grain battle—have been made to correct fhls evit Bt g0 far Italy has not had much luck with the grain battle. Last year there was a fairly average crop, but the stabilization of the lire at a high level had such an efféet of reduc- ing the price of wheat—in eomparison with the prices of fertilizers and other materials which the farmers had to buy nz mmufl: time-—that the harvesting done at a, considerable loss.
