REORGANISATION OF NATION'S RESOURCES

Rome, Jan. 22.

Application of economic sanctions against Italy has failed to pinch the great masses of the population, a United Press survey compiled from reports on all parts of the nation revealed to-day.

The most obvious reasons for this situation, surprising to many observers, are:

2-Italy is a Totalitarian state.

3-The nation is not highly industrialized as is the case in Great Britain, Germany or the United States.

4-Economic reorganization rapidly achieved has strengthened the nation's ability to resist an economic siege, especially if the boycott, does not continue over a prolonged period.
