ITALY: Wealth Estimate

Last week those of Rome's lower classes who were able to read perused with awe an announcement made by one Dr. A. Degil Espinosa, whom U. S. correspondents described as a "financial expert." After several months of careful figuring Dr. Espinosa published his estimate of the private wealth in Italy—$25,000,000,000. Of this amount, he computed that $8,000,000,000 was in the form of land, $1,250,000,000 in foreign bonds.
