FRUJT INTERESTS CHANGETAX IDEA Quick, Dramatic Action Saves Day for Apple, and Pear Exporters of Pacific Coast Shipments Listed While Rogue River valley orch&rd Ists, with other of the northwest, (ire rejoicing over the reduction In French Import license tuxes on Amer ican apples and pears, whJch has al ready tended to facilitate the pur chase of northwest fruits, a dramatic story of negotiations preceding the reduction, seems particularly appro priate. It was received yesterday from Owln, White is Prince, Inc., Se attle, Wash. It shows Just what concentrated effort on the part of fruit Interests !ay behind the Dare announcement from Washington that the French government had yielded to the Amer ican demands for a reduction. The tax reduction Is expected to result In larger Importation of Amer ican apples and pears to the limit of '2.000 quintals (approximately l, 000,000 bush.) alotted to these Amer ican fruits by tne French government for the first quarter of the year, substantial Reduction. The taxes will be reduced to 40 francs per quintal, 220 pounds of ap ples, and 60 franca per qultal of pears. The tax heretofore has been 125 francs per quintal of apples ar.d 175 francs per quintal of pears. The actual story as told by Owin. White and Prince. Inc., follows: After a, series of negotiations be tween the French ambassador, the French commercial attache, and the American department of state, the United States on December 22 agreed to double the previous specified quota on French wines and liquors in ex change for an Increase of the French apple end pear quota to 1.000,000 bushels, an Increase of about 400 per cent. French wines of sufficient quantity to exhaust the Increased V. S. quota were at the time either In the docks In U. S. porta or were en route to the United States on Decem ber. 22. arriving here within a few days. Thus. France cashed tn im mediately on its increased wine quota, but on .December 28 snatched from America all of the substantial bene fits of the Increased frult quota by announcing the Imposition of new and drastically Increased Import taxes of 125 francs per hundred kilo on apples and 175 francs on pears, Meant Embargo. ' As such duties are so high as to amount to an embargo, French, pur chases of American apples and pears necessarily were completely stifled and the representations of the French government that the increase In thel: quota would mean the purchase by France of a million bushels of Amer ican apples and pears became mean. Ins; less. Pacific coast Interests, thoroughly alarmed at the threatened loss of a valuable and vitally Important mar ket, organized a campaign to save the situation. J. A. Smith of Seattle, foreign trade manager of Owln, White & Prince, Inc., large exporters of Pa cific coast fruits to France, was chosen to represent the Pacific coast Interests and proceeded to Washing ton to lead the fight. Roger Capgras of Paris. French rep- resentative of Gwln, White & Prince, Inc., simultaneously sailed from Paris, representing the Syndicate of French Fruit Importers. R. o. Phillips and his assistant. Fraser, representing In ternational Apple association. Joined forces with Smith and Capgras at Washington. Numerous cables and long distance telephone messages were exchanged between the French am bassador and the French government at Paris. The United States State department came vigorously into Ac tion and the whole matter was re opened, with the U. S. government Insisting that France reduce the taxes by at least two-thirds, under penalty of retaliation in the matter of shut ting out French wine. Wine Importer Interested. The wine importing Interests of the east were drawn into the situation, and, thoroughly alarmed at the threatened loss of their bualnsss. should the U. S. government take re taliatory measures, brought pressure to bear upon the French ambassador, stimulating him to extreme effort with his own government. Additional support was brought to bear through officials of various United States steamship lines, the Baltimore Mall Line, and other American interests having a vital stake In this French traffic. After a week of strenuous nlht and day work the French government yielded to the American demands, and announced reduction of the oner ous duties from 125 francs per kilo on apples to 40 francs, and from 175 francs on pears to 60 francs, a reduc tion amounting to about two thirds of the duties, thereby meeting in full the demands of the American fruit interests and the American govern-1 ment.

(Associated Press Photo) 'PERFECT ALIBI' WILL BE STAGED Followers of Southern Oregon Nor may schol dramatics are awaiting with enthusiasm the production of "The Perfect Alibi." February 20. Angus L. Bowmer of the S. O. N. S. faculty, who is directing "The Perfect Alibi." has made an enviable repu tation for himself as well as for the Normal school by previous produc tions. Chief among these was "An drew Jackson," an original play by Mr. Bowmer. "Grumpy" and "As You Like It" were also produced during the last year and a half. "The Perfect Alibi" Is of an i tlrely different order from these other plays. Written by A. A. Milne, the well-known English playwright, it was presented in England under the title "The Fourth Wall." The play has been secured by special permission from Samuel French and company, Mr. MUne's -publishers in this coun try. It is of a very recent date, be ing copyrighted In the United States In 1929. "The Fourth Wall" or "The Perfect Alibi," as it Is called In the United States, is a tremendously clever de tective story, concerned with the mur der of Arthur Ludgrove. The audi ence has the unique experience of wit nessing the murder and also the suo sequent solving of the crime by Su san Cunlngham, Ludgrove 's ward, and her flance-to-be, -Jimmy Ludgrove. the murdered man's nephew. The story Is laid in England. In English surroundings and with Eng lish characters. Every character In the play Is outstanding, and Mr. Bow mer feels that all those who were selected for the cast will have splen did opportunities for real acting and characterization. The cast Includes: Beverly Young, Ashland Susan Cunlngham; Bob Stedman, Phoenix Jimmy Ludgrove; George Smith, Ashland EdwaVd Car ter; Derry de Lancey, Corvallls Ed ward Lavcrlck; Gold a Lewman.

BEDFORD MAIL REAL COMPLIANCE IS RECOVERY KEY Johnson Tells New State Directors Success De pends On Ability to Ob tain Full Co-operation WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. (AP) Hugh 8. Johnson told the newly choson state directors for NRA and the emergency .council today that sue cesa of the recovery administration and the entire recovery program de pended wholly on their ability to ob tain real compliance with the codes. In an extended explanation of what NRA has done and still has to do, Johnson told the men that the en forcement question was "the proof of the pudding." Unions Big Problem Outlining the problems which they face, he said one of the greatest was that involving company unions. "There Is no answer to the argu ment," he said, "that many compa nies created unions after passage of the industrial act to Influence their men in the choice of instrumentality for collective bargaining. "It is & counter NRA device In some small part at least and depend ing on Its execution." He explained that under the law employes were to be absolutely free of employer Influence In their or ganizations but that the company union was not, as such, outlawed unless membership In It was made mandatory. Nathan Straus, Jr.. New York state director. Inquired whether the state men would be consulted before the selection of their labor advisors. Johnson replied: "I think the selections already have been made by the secretary of labor." Straus Surprised Straus expressed surprise, saying he had not heard of the action and George Creel, the Callforna director, inquired : "Do you think the department of labor Is better equipped to select ad visors than the men In the field?"
