PUBLIC IS DOCILE
AS LIVING COSTS
IN ITALY ROCKET
No. Grumbles of People Are
Heard Despite 69.8 Per
Cent Rise in - Price In
dex Since African War
ROME (UP) Reports painstaking
ly compiled by absolutely neutral and
disinterested foreign experta reveal
that the "cost of living'' In Italy has
Increased 89.8 per cent throughout
the peninsula elnce . Premier Benito
Mussolini ordered nla Black Shirt la
Clone Into Ethiopia on Nov. 3. 1935.
A large part of this Increase can
be attributed to the 40 per oent de
valuation of the lira. League sanc
tions against Italy and Mussolini's
policy of economic autarchy at all
coau are responsible to a leaser de
gree.
These figures axe the result of In
dependent atudies made In every prin
cipal city of Italy and compiled In
one central office by a statistical ex
pert. The baala for comparison waa
the official prices In effect on Nov.
9, 1939, (the day before the war was
Initiated against Ethiopia) and the
official prices In force on March 1,
193T. .
The Increase In the price of house
hold textiles (165.8 per cent Jump
during this period) la largely respon
alble for the aharp upward trend of
thb entire Index. Other commodities
listed in the "coat-of-Ilvtng-lndex"
showed Increases varying between 10
and 27 per oent.
Textiles Rise Greatest
Some examples of the percentual
increases during the period mention
ed are:
Pet.
Higher
Average meat prices 37.8
All other foods .... 13.9
Fuels ....... 18.0
Vegetables 10.8
Household textiles 155.8
General coat of
living Index 89.8
It la a remarkable tribute to the
government, however, that the prices
of the most Important food staples.
such as spaghetti, bread and coffee,
have increased little or not at all.
The same cannot be said for clothing
materlala. Here are aamples of official
prices in effect on Nov. 3, 1935 and
March 1, 1937.

standard of living is above the apa-

Italian laborers. The latter class Is
aware of slightly higher prices, but
not to the extent of the middle and

Italian radio stations, when the Infant Prince Victor Emmanuel of

Here Is a scene from the colorful ceremony.
of approximately 10 per cent to more
than 6,000,000 workers. The increases
went Into effect before the devalua
tion of the lire and alnce then the
government has been doing every
thing within Its power to keep prlcea
down.
It has succeeded In controlling the
price of spaghetti and bread, but In
other fields It has been defeated by
the rigid laws of supply and demand.
Many prices could not be kept down
artificially because the products had
to be Imported and Italy had to nay
with devalued Ure. In virtually all
these categories the prices are now
30 to 40 per cent higher than before
devaluation.
The Immediate reaction, after a
study of the foregoing figures. Is that
Italians must be protesting and
grumbling against the new sacrifices
they are making for Mussolini a em
pire.
People Not Grumbling
Such Is not the case. Fifteen years
of fascism have taught the Italian
people discipline. Many of them are
appalled t the price they are pay
ing for Italy's new "greatness, but
they don't grumble at least not In
public.
It cannot be denied, however, that
there la a considerable amount of
unexpressed dissatisfaction at the
new burdens placed on their shoul
ders. Since the Ethiopian war, more
and more taxes have been added to
pay for Italy's armament program and
these, combined with the increase In
the cost of living, have made life ex
tremely difficult.
Mussolini's new 1937-38 budget for
national defense totals 9376,650.000,
or an Increase of approximately $38,
360,000 over the previous year. The
new budget does not Include special
appropriations which are made from
time to time to cover emergency
needs which II Duce considers neces
sary because of the International sit
uation. Right now Italy Is engaged on a
gigantic rearmament program which
ts straining every nerve of-the nation.
Citizens are deprived of many raw
materials because they are needed for
manufacture of war materials. Muni
tion factories and armament plants
are working on 34 hour schedules,
and are not required to observe the
40 hour week which Is obligatory for
all other Industries.
Iron Supply Inadequate

materials, especially rubber and Iron,

program are behind schedule. To ab
tain the necessary raw materials Italy
must pay in gold and the treasury
does not always feel Its reserves are
large enough to permit large-scale
purchases.
The international crisis over the
Spanish civil war has forced Musso
lini to warn the Italian people they
must be ready for further sacrifices
in the interest of national defense.
Italian scientists are working day and
nfght trying to find substitutes for
oil, rubber, cellulose and cotton to
free Italy from dependence on for
eign markets.
More and more substitutes are be
ing offered to Italians. The gasoline
burned by motorists has a large per
centage of domestically produced al
cohol mixed with It. Italian textiles
are becoming more and more syn
thetic. Every bit of scrap-Iron and
paper Is used over and over again.
Every backyard In Italy has been rak
ed for bits of old Iron which might
be melted down and used for arma
ments. Preparedness Is Permanent '.
The entire nation, as a matter of
fact, Is virtually on a permanent
schedule of war preparedness. Start
ing this spring every Italian male be
tween the age of 11 and 60 must have
In his possession a booklet of "phys
ical fitness and military preparation."
This booklet registers all physical
changes and every aspect of the bear
er's military experience and training.
The grim possibilities of the next
war are brought home to every Ital
ian by a recent ruling which makes
It obligatory to provide anti-gas and
anti-bombing shelters in every new
building. Old buildings are being re
adapted as best as possible to provide
shelter for Inhabitants.
Military training of Italian boya
Is being Intensified. Virtually no ex
cuses are accepted for absences from
military training classes. Middle-aged
men who did their obligatory military
service many years ago are finding It
increasingly difficult to be excused
from periodical re-tralnlng and new
instruction.
The average Italian looks upon all
this military preparation and new
financial burdens with considerable
apprehension, but there Is belief that
Mussolini Is "lucky" and will bring
Italy through hard times to the great
est era of prosperity and glory In Its
