FREEDOM OF TRADE.
ITALY’S CHIEF NEED. NEW YORK, Sept. 22. The New York Times Rome correspondent says Italy’s prime consideration is to keep the Mediterranean open, otherwise her mercantile structure will collapse. There are possibilities that the Italian war trade boom will equal that of the United States. Angio-ltalian and Franco-ltalian commercial relations are developing considerably. Italy needs raw materials which are unobtainable from Russia and Germany, and also needs cash, which Britain and France—not Berlin—are able to pay.
Geneva.—The American Mr Carter Goodrich has been elected chairman of the International Labour Office Council.
