To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

Your amusing yet sound editorial pertaining to the cruise of the "Italia" is the cause of these few words. In saying that the new type of advertising about to be employed by Italy will rouse the American business men to new activity, you implicitly convey the idea of the far-reaching influence of the recent Italian rejuvenation. Who would have thought not long ago that the day was not far off when the Italian "black-shirts" would make shrewd American men of business fell somewhat uneasy as regards their foreign trade with certain nations?

You say that Italy was tuned to active commercial propaganda in the Latin American countries by the recent meeting of the Italian and Spanish royal families. Perhaps it was to some extent, but a far more vigorous stimulant has been the discrimination clause in the Johnson Immigration Hill. That measure, in spite of the fact that it meets with favor among many Americans some of whom know nothing of its contents--might well night be looked upon as an offense to the nations of southern Europe, particularly Italy. Is it a wonder then that Italy being snubbed here turns its activities to other shores?

If American business men want to start immediate competition against Americanized Italian advertising methods, which might affect their foreign trade, they can do so here at home by looking well to the laws that some congressmen would enact in spite of the sagacious protestations of the Secretary of State.
