Kuropean Allied countries as a mem- ber of the American committee of twelve which went abread to attend the oragnization congress of the in- ternationsl Chamber of Commerce. The International Congress, The allied governments o: Beigium, England, France, and Ituly were also represcnted at the international con- uress. The prime purpcse of the con- gress was to prepare the way for a betier commercial understanding be- tween the allied nations and all the countries of the world and to estab- lish trade relations which had not ex- isted before and to stréngthen those olready existing. The congress was a success an1 the committees into which entire conference was divided were treated with the utmost attention and respect by the varfous governments and the reports und suggestions of the congres; will be carried out as far as practical Congress Subdivided. Ther: were four main sub-divi- sions of the whole congress; finance and banking, shipping and transpor- ‘tation, fuel supplics &nd raw mate- rials and general reconstruction. Mr Johnston specialized on the latter two In ardition to the organiz tion eommitte h country the were over 600 delegates in attend- representirg the different finan- clal tal and commercial inter- osts and o 150 of these were from the United States Industrial Conditions, “Industrial conditions and living in this country are so far superior to of any couniry in KEurope that if our own could only be brought te this, there would mighty little bolshevism and so- cinlism in this countr said Mr. Johnston While wages are every- where double or more, laxes are op- ssive, governmental waste still ex- ssive and mcneral living expenses are very hign. Sugar in England is still rationed at one half pound or a cupful person in cach family and was held at 32 to 34 cents a pound. Coal in France is $35 to $38 per ton even at the price as only in case of necessity.

Although tired and worn out the hatred among the French people for the enemy seems to he more intense than ever before and if you could have spent the days with us in the devastated re- gions of I'rance and Belgium and Italy you would soon develop a de- cided Lindred spirit to these nations and a horror to the war tacties of the Huns.

Conditions in Faly. Regarding the conditions in Italy Johnston satd that the industrial conditions were very much upset owing to tha exceedingly high price which Italy was compelled to pay the United States and England for iron and coal neither of which Italy pro- doced In any large quantity.

Italy has a surplus of 300,000 labor- ers who are practically skilled men whom she cannot give work to and who keep the country in a state of unrest and consequently fit subjects to the influence of the radical labor leaders. We were |o‘l{l that Italy would be glad to pay fhe transporta- tion expenses of this surplus labor to the United States in order to con- serve the food and enable the rest of the people to get work. No Trolleys. Practically all of the trolley sys- tems in Ttaly had been out of com- mission for 24 days when we were there. because of a general strike and in many of the cities the hackmen and jJitneys struck in sympathy. Everywhere in Italy we found people looking to the United States as their only hope in their reconstruction and their attitude toward the American people is decidedly more cordial than cral other of the countries we visited. forts Conditions Studicd. “As in France the government gave us a invitation to study the industrial conditions in Italy and under the escort of their officials our organization committes visited Pa- dova.

Crops Good. “Crops in Haly as well as I'rance are well above the average and will be the great factor in bringing about rexdjustment during the coming year but Europe is facing as great a crisis as at any timeé during the war said Mr. Johnston, owing to a seeming lack of great leadefship and the usual jealousy of the Kuropean na- tions. Although the League of Na- tions is officially in action the Rus- sian-Polish situation, fhe Turkish, the Armenian, the Irish: problems are all pushing each over for ffont page attention and the political leaders are lying awake nights wongering what will happen next day. Germany, ac- cording to the best informed of our hosts hasn't played the game square so far simce the armistice and by hélding back the coal and iren agreed on for France and Italy, has been able to get back to a 70 per cent normal industrial production as agaisst 30 per cent in Frarce.” Forms Opinion. “After ten weeks of conference apd study, said Mr._Johnston, I am of the very definite opinion that the United Rtates had better give vefy caréful at tention to developing a deflnite na- tional spirit throughout our entire country and as far as possible keep out of the chaotic international mix- up for the present. If the unsettled- political condition in Europe continues much longer we will need leadership and a true nm- tional unity to wara off the tide of unrept that is being fed and financed by the most dangerous radicals the worid has ever seen. In reply to a question regarding the League of Nations Mr. Johnston re- plied that as far as he could learn by constant questioning the people of the different countries were not as much interested in a League of Na- tions as they were as to how they were zoing to get out of their own national difficulties but that such a league if practical would be helpful. Europe evidently realizes they mnst have the backing of the United States before anything definite edn bes ac- complished but they are in every di- rection making the same mentud reservations that are demanding pub- lieity.
