HE definite completion of Ital- ian unity as a result of the recent war affords Italy the first opportunity to ‘use the country’s economic resources freely in the creation of a modern industrial sys- tem. This achievement, of course, has been made at great cost to the Italian people. While the national debt has heen considerably increased, at the same time the country's economic pow- cr has been enhanced. The estimated value of the national wealth before the war was $16,200,000,- 000, According to the estimate of the Finance Commission for Reconstrue- tion in Italy, the wealth at present is $21,230,000,000. The debt of Italy on March 81, 1919, including paper money, was $13,079,- 918,807, of which about three-fourths was internal. The external debt. amounting to $3,330,141,784, consisted entirely of credits extended during the war by the United States Government and Allies. The pre-war debt was ap- proximately $2,631,748,000. Ttaly is situated within easy access of the Atlantic and Indian oceans and has therefore special advantages for comme Moreover, the Italian pe- ninsula forms part of the shortest route from BEuropean industrial cen- ters to the Suez Canal, and transporta- tion across the Alps Is facilitated hy four or five lines of railway and Ly well constructed roads, Italy has had a long, hard struggle to recover lost ground in her industrial activity, in comparison with the coun- tries of northern Europe. Up to 1860 the best of her energy and the lives of many of her sons were sacrificed to obtain national unity. Since 1860, however, Ttaly has striven to regain the lost ground, and up to the outbreak JITALY 1S PUSHING HER SHIPBUILDING TO lew GF ROME, B\ \ CENTER OF REUNITED, GET HER SHARE OF AFTER WAR TRADE of the war she had succeeded in no small measure, Between 1880 and 1913 the value of Italian manufactures rose from $120,- 000,000 to $600,000,000. Accotding to the census of 1911, there were 3,000.- 000 Italians employed in manufactur- ing industries and 11,000,000 in agri- culture, The Italian fron industry is new. The output of pig iron from the Elba mines was 112,000 tons in 1909, 1913 the output was 426,000 tons. Be- fore the war approximately 200,000 | freight .lml passenge’ tons of pig iron were imported every i Despite the energetic year, principally from the United % Kingdom.

In the years preceding the war the Ital- jan woolen industry had reached IIIHIHIIIHHI considerable development, gradually emancipating itself from foreign con- trol and seeking new outlets for ex- portation.

Wheat is easily the most important agricultural product of Italy, both as regards area sown and the amount produced. It {s estimated that about 34,000,000 acres are devoted to agri- culture, and of this amount 11,700,000 are sown with wheat. The total value became constantly more scarce, the of the crops and products of Italian ag- remarkable progress achieved from |riculture, as a whole, is placed at $1,- | manifest, 360,000,000, while the value of wheat at a normal price Is estimated to be $235,000,000. As regards other cereals, about 4,000,000 acres are planted with maize and 2,000,000 with rye, barley, rice and oats. Sugar beets, hemp, flax and tohacco take up about one- sixth of the total agricultural area. Undoubtedly silk growing holds a“ place next to that of wheat growing in Italian agriculture. The amount of raw silk produced in Italy during the years just prior to the war was be- tween 10,000,000 and 12,000,000 ponnds, the greater part of which was export- ed. Another important branch of Italian. agriculture is the production of grapes and wine. The statistics for the last five years before the war, when Ital- ian agriculture was flourishing under normal conditions, show that there were 11,000,000 acres of vineyards, producing 979,000,000 gallons of wine, There are also more than 8,000,000 acres planted with olives, from which are obtained nearly 50,000,000 gallons ot oil. Italy also raises am appreciable crop of oranges and lemons, which are grown extensively in southern Italy .m:] Sicily and amount to about 780, 000 tons a year. Nearly 100,000 tons of oranges and about 300,000 tons of emons are exported. Approximately tons are manufaetured into citric acid and similar products, for which Austria-Hungary bas been It- aly's most important customer and Great Britain the second best. During the war period industrial growth in many directions has been' In June, 1914, the total normal capital of all the limited com- "nanles registered in Italy was approx- +imately $1,254,500,000. This capital had risen before the end of 1918 to $3,088,000,000, or by about 146 per cent. During the last year alone 540 new companies were reglstered, have ing a capltal of about $164,000,900, the. greater part of which has been invest- ed in the iron, steel and engineering industries. Besldes, the capitalization of old companies has also grown. Technical improvements have been various. In 1918 the electric furnace was virtually unknown in the produc- tion of Itallan pig iron; today electrie furnaces are used extensively and have a capacity of 200,000 tons. Prior to 1914 Italy imported most of the ma- chinery used In the textile, beet sugar and paper industries, as well as agri- cultural machinery. Italian concerns are now able to supply a large part of this equipment. In common with other countries Ita- 1y experienced a marked growth in the™ chemical Industry during the last five years, and the development of elec- trical power *-ill afford opportunity for a still further expansion in these lines, Italy has derived another gain from her supreme economic effort put forth during the war. This 1s an enhanced valuation In the eyes of the remainder, of the world of the talent and skill which has been demonstrated by the engineering ability displayed by the Italians in dealing with all sorts of complex and difficult problems present- ed to them In their vast war program. Since the signing of the armistice, Italians have been especially aggres- sive in restoring trade, particularly with the Balkans and the Near East. .
