A New Era in Italian Industrialisation
Talk by Ninetta Jucker
Manchester Guardian correspondent in Italy
In 1950 methane was discovered in considerable quantities in the Italian subsoil; since then the new methane gas has been brought by pipeline to all the most important industrial centres of northern Italy. Native oil resources, too, now promise to make an important contribution to Italy's economy. The speaker examines some of the social and political problems that have arisen over the ownership and exploitation of the new resources.
