ITALY'S RETURN TO
WAR BREAD.
IDEA OF FOOD TICKETS ABANDONED
is always a strain on her purse, Rome, August 18 Italy's bill as hitherto she has not been able to grow enough corn for her popu lation which, according to statin- tics, consumea more grain per head than that of most other coun tries. To feed the country ac cording to the standard of the past years some twenty million quintals of corn would have to be bought, chiefly from the United States, and the fall of the fra makes this a sorious matter.
The chief tactics of Mussolini's "Corn battle" consist in promoting wheat cultivation, but more from the point of view of improving and intansifying than of extending cul- tivation, and also in protecting home production by raising tho duty on imported wheat. Until Italy can produce moru she must consume less, and the Government has now made out the national menu. The sale of all fancy bread, of bung, or calcas made on a basis of wheat flour is strictly for bidden, an exception only being made for plain biscuits, which are considered a necessary part of the diet of invalids and children.
