WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—Confi
dential advices from Italy to the Am
erican government today painted a
picture of a cold and hungry populace
which officials consider menacing.
It is a matter of common knowledge
among Washington newspaper men
that conditions in the Empire of the
ancient Romans are far worse than
the public has been permitted to
know.
There is practically no coal for pri-,
vate consumption. It is said that not '
a single fire will be lighted this win
ter in any hotel or private home in
Italy, l’ine cones and old newspapers
burned iq iron buckets give all the
heat the public at large get.
The army is hard hit too. Owing
to lack of coal, Italy has been com
pelled to quit the making of cannons. |
She gets her artillery supply from
Great Britain. Other manufactures
have no coal at all. :
Italy s pre-war coal imports were
850,000 tons. Her present war mini
mum is 1,100,000 tons. She has had
to reduce that, to 690,000 tons, and
even of this she has been able to get
only about 66 per cent. Her reserve
supplies have been entirely exhaust
de.
i
urastic tood control has failed to
solve Italy’s foot shortage troubles.
Prices are fixed, every person is ra
tioned, food products are directly con
trolled by the government.
Sugar is so short that there is no
. 8Uch thing as cake in the entire na
tion. In Rome, Genoa, Naples, and
[ Florence they have what they call
; cake. It is really bread with a large
„ proportion of rice flour. Using sugar
in cooking is a crime punishable by
heavy fine. They have tried to use
saccarinc, but it is a coal-tar product
and very unhealthy.
Except at rare intervals, eggs are
| given to no one but invalids and nurs
ing mothers. There are two meatless
days a week. Even on the five meat
days, meat fit to eat is hard to get.
i There is no such thing as veal. It is
a crime to kill calves or .sheep.
Chickens are n rare treat. ' *
Restaurants and cafes may keep
open only a few stipulated hours a
i day. Some days a very short time.
Salted fish has come into general use.
There is an acute shortage of all
cereals. Corn cannot be fed to hogs
j under the law. As this order practic
. ally wiped out the hog-raising industry
in the provinces of Modena, Parma,
Reggio, Emilia, Ferrara and Ravenna,
[ the hogs were ordered slaughtered by
. thousands. This has made the short
. age of hog meat and fats acute.
, The shortage of beef, milk, butter ■
I and cheese is keenly felt. Short im- ^
ports led to the slaughter of one- |
fourth of Italy’s herds, which has ac- f
. centuated the crisis in beef, milk, but- I
ter and che"ese.
*_>nve uu ib useu ior cooKing almost
exclusively. All bread is a very dark,
‘ I tapavy war bread. Some of it tastes
fairly good, some doesn’t. Black
| bread, soaked in olive oil, is a much >
used though despised dish.
This shortage has brought an em- i
bargo on food exports and practically
wiped out the big exporters’ business *
in rice, macaroni, cheese and other
milk products, fresh and dried fruits,
oil, chestnuts, vegetables, forage and
fish preserved in oil.
Meals in public places are rigidly
regulated. The serving of butter or
5 cream, or dishes garnished with eggs,
is unlawful. No lunch of whatever
price can .contain more than two
dishes, no meal a la carte can con
tain more than three. Railway res
taurants may open only one hour be
fore the departure of the first train
and remain open only one hour after
the departure of the last train.
