RECLAMATION PROJECT
By HENRY WOOD
(United Press Staff ' Correspondent.)
ROME, (By Mall.) Under the In
spiration of Pope Benedict, plans are
at last definitely under way for the r
clamation of the famous Argo Roma
no, lying between Rome and the Medi
terranean. ...
American and Eaglish capital have
been found to back the project which,
when once attained, will render fertile
some fifty thousand acres of land that
for centuries have produced nothing
but malaria, shrubs and weeds.
One of the most marked economic
effects of this transformation will be
that of rendering Rome self-sustan-ing.
- Owing to the sertllty of this vast
tract, as well as other portions of the
Campogna Romano - surrounding
Rome, the latter has never been able
to produce enough food stuff in Us
immediate vicinity to meet its needs.
With these fifty thousand acres of
the Argo Romano under cultivation,
however, Rome hopes- to be able to
feed herself.
The reclamation of this tract r of
land is expected to require six or seven
years' and will entail an expense 'of
$50,000,000. 1 - " ' '
While Pope Benedict's Interest In
Inspiring the project was largely hu
manitarian, there were also reasons
why the Vatican Was directly "Inter-:
ested. First of all the great part of
this tract of land is owned by bid
families of the Papal aristocracy and
Roman nobility. In the past it ' has
been largely their refusal to interest
themselves in the reclamation of their
estates that has made all the- latter
economically a dead loss to Italy. '
Tope' Benedict has taken the posi
tion that In the present world wide
economic . depression, all countries
should do their fhost to cultivate all
unproductive lands. Also, the . war
served to reduce the value of the pri
vate fortunes of the old Roman nobil
ity to such an extent that they cannot
afford to let their estates go unpro
ductive. ' As a consequence, the economy
which has been organised under the
inspiration of Pope Benedict for the
reclamation of the Argo, Romano Is
composed largely of these old Roman
noble families whose estates go to
make up the great bulk of the tract.
It Is they who have secured the ne
cessary English and American capital
for the project. .
Not only Is it Intended to make the
entire tract, fertile and productive as
it waa centuries ago, tout tt is alee
proposed, to restore the old Roman
seaport of Ostla, which would . also
render Rome virtually a seaport, ow
ing to the connection' with the Tiber.
It was the latter, that, dumping alluvi
al deposits for centuries Into the sea'
port of Ostla, "finally destroyed the
latter and during tbe same time the
great tract of the Argo Romano grad
ually became sterile. ' . '"'
In still another respect the Vatican
will profit by the ' project. In ! the
eventual reconciliation between , tbe
Vatican and the Quirlnal, ' which is
now being gradually worked out, it Is
certala that the Vatican will be given
an 'extra-territorial strip or land, con
nectmg up the Vatican with the sea
and thus assuring the popes complete
liberty. This' little papal state, run
ning through a highly productive and
populated district rather than - the
present dreary waste, would enhance
greatly its value from every point of
view... .. ...
