Rome in Effort to Deal With the Exchange Problem. • Washington, Feb. 13.—Imports from the United States of sugar, canned meats, condensed milk, butter and cheese will be prohibited by the Italian government in its efforts to deal with the exchange situation, according to official advices to the department of commerce. Under the restrictions, American exports to Italy will be reduced 20 per cent. Exportable capital will be placed at once under more severe control, the advices said, adding that “It will be extremely difficult to sell to Italians American manufactured goods that by

any possible construction admit of classification as luxuries.”
