GERMANS SEEKING;
LOST TRADE OF
THE ITALIANS
#
By Associated Press
HOME* July A heady German
influence ha* been exercising itself
in Italy in an endeavor to win back it'
pre-war trade, which annually amount
ed to nearly two million dollars— ex
port* and imports.
Interviews have recently been pub
lished in Italian papers which endeav- !
or to establish the idea in the Italian j
mind that had Germany been consulted
in the matter of Italian claims at the
P 'ace Conference- Italy would have se
cured all that, had Iwen asked. This has j
boon interpreted by manv prominent
Italians as purely a subtle bid for Ttal*
an patronage anticipating the resusci
tation of friendly commercial relation-,
between Italy and Germany.
Chief among the interview* appenr
ng in Italy were those of Prince \ on
Thtelow and Count Von Bernstorfr.
The former was married to an Italian
•»nd maintains In Italy one of the rnosc
•elebnit'ed villas. Italians contend that (
t wa* his object to solicit Italian fav
or when he said:
“Fiume is an Italian town and must
cr0 to Italy. All its inhabitants are Ital
ian except a small minority. Every
thing in Fiume i* Italian. Tn fact* most
Hungarians living in Fiume are more
avorable to Italian th:m to Jugo-Slav
’•1110.“
Count Von Bornstorff seeks Jn hi I
ntmview intended for the Ttabun poo* ;
pie to forpive Ttalv for nIlyin" horse! r
vith Germany’s enemies. Tie admits
that had the ancient German despoti;
rule won* Italy would have never been
forpiven but that the new Germany
reedy to forpot t^e past and start ov*
nr attain.
His interview piven to the Gievna1***
TV Italia recently has been treated in
‘lie same liyht as that of Prince \ o*j
P.uelow while Italians are savinp of it.
“We prefer to trust in victory (ban
elternatives.”
Count Bornstorff failed to arouse
•\uv groat enthusiasm among the ftal
Ians for the proffered forgiveness.
But the Germans have not hoe 1 [
asleep in Itnlv. Already German goods j
are finding their way into the Italian
markets. A Milan newspaper recently
announced that a large shipment of
German jewelry had been received at
the frontier destined for all parts o* j
Italy. German printing products* tour- |
ist guidebooks and stationery have
been on display in shop windows for
weeks. Some of them were pre-war
stork by far the greater part is new.

The Alaska-Gold Hill* has several
