V; HUNTERS IMPOLITE . t ID PRVuIS 1 FAKED IN EUROPE Inferior Product' Tinted and Disguised, Says Speak- j er At Luncheon M Retail merchants in northern European '. countries are being duped by prune'packers in Jugo slavia. declared: William A, Sroenteld. ! representative of the United State bureau of agricul tural 'economics, who addressed members of the chamber of com merce at the weekly; luncheon yesterday. , ; " The packers ship the prunes in boxes similar to those used by American packers, treat the fruit with a solution which gives it : a black,: glossy 'color, and partially disguise the label. A flayer of American prunes is then placed on top in the box, and the undls cerning .merchants in the princi pal European marts sell the prunes as an American product. Packers of prunes in Oregon cannot hope to compete with the indiscriminately sacked prunes of Jugo-Slavia for at least. 15 or 20 years, Mr. Scoenfeld said. The Jugo-Slaviana pay no attention to segregation of site or quality, and are able to tell very chesply, as against the Oreeron packers who mnt pay high freight rates and tariff. The salvation of the Oregon packer is to continue the quality f7 of the prunes, pack them -e!V d 'en endeavor to de velop the Ep'oi'in market for the f:rst 1 proint. ' Lonjr ne of the ?or prune m-ndtired in the sunlese southern 'impean countries has accustom M the European prune buyer to that kind and what must be done Is to cultivate the demand for the sweeter, more highly colored prune of Oregon. Since the war, European coun tries have had a battle of nonsen sical tariffs, and while they are at odds, Mr. Scoenfeld sees an opportunity for United States packers to step in and build up the trade. Mr. Scoenfeld made his survey of European conditions when he was chairman of , a commission designated by former Secretary of Agriculture Wallace for that pur pose.

Mr. Carkin said it was apparent 'hat the present tax system was nadquate. and that come drastic revisions in the tax laws should be ecommended.
