THREAT Of SCANDAL

French Deputies.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

By Wireless to The Star and Chicago DAILY
News. Copyright, 1921.
PARIS, July 8 (Delayed).-TheC China
Industrial Bank failure now threatens to
degenerate into another typical French
politico-fnancial scandal The affair
was the subject Of a lively discussion IN
the chamber Of deputies yesterday. The
extreme left and the extreme right COM
bined to attack the government.
Deputy Bartha, speaking for the lett,
declared that he considered that there
has been collaboration between poatics
tellane, speaking for the right. demanded
that suit be brought unf1inchingly
against the responsible directors OF the
defunct bank and that no one be spared.
Basis of Discussion.
Tho debate centered on the fact that
Philippe Berthelot. general secretary OF
the ministry Of foreign affairs. who is
brother Of Andre Berthelot. one OF tne
heads Of the China Industrial Bank, sent
telegrams to the French diplomatic rep
reeentatives in China to reassure the
Chinese regarding the condition Of the
bank, thus, in the AOinion Of the depu-
ties. engaging the responsibility OF the
French nation. Jl. !.
Premier BRAND came courageously to
Philippe Berthelot's aid. recovering his
Initiative completely and warmly. He
himself would have signed them, he
said, II he had become premier . rev
days earlier. It was necessary at the
time, and 1t was to the interest Of the
entire country to react against the anti
French propaganda which Reuters. an
Official British agency, was spreading IN
the Far East.
Making Effort to save Bank.
NJ BRAND further asserted that even
now the government was trying to de-
wise means Of saving the China Indus
trial Bank because its collapse was in
furious to French prestige in the Far
East, but the government recognized
that such salutary action was difficult
under the law. because this bank was q
private institution.
The government succeeded In prevent
ing the fixing Of dehnite blame for the
failure by q narrow margin OF votes.

be saved II 900. .000. 900 francs NORMALLY

grip Of the most severe drought in
many years. In France the situa-
ton is unprecedented. Brooks and
springs have dwindled to mere
trickles and the rivers are getting

The increased business in sales
of this seasons fruit and berries is
due to buyers just waking up to
the fact that there is going to be a
shortage of canned fruit this year,
says Mr.. Holt. He explains that
this is largely due to the fact that
q great many canneries went bank
rupt last year and are not putting
up pack this year. Many of the

are being disappointed because
they were too late and the pack

Cooperative
Cannery Will
Pack so Cars

Manager Fred A. Kurtz, OF the
Growers Cooperative Cannery, re-
ports that approximately 60 cars
Of canned goods will be turned OUT
this season by the cannery. Thls
includes 80 cars of loganberries
and six of strawberries and six OF
cherries, for the bulk of which OF
ders have already been received.
Prospects are that the growers will
net more than the market price for
their fruit.
Five hundred tons of loganber-
ries have already been received at
the cannery and it is expected that
total of $50 tons will be packed
before the season closes. Futures
for prunes are also being taken.
When the season opened there was
no demand for the fruit, but the
low price stimulated the market
with the result that there is a
good demand and the widest dis
tribution yet attained. AS a result
the loganberry industry is stabil-
ized for another year.
How much more fortunate the
Salem district is than other berry
districts is shown by a compari-
son with the Puyallup district
where a large acreage of berries
has been picked, where some hun
dreds of acres of raspberries have
been cut down and the Paulhamus
plants are operating upon small
scale due to financial difficulties.
The Albany plant has only a par
tial operation.
Financial troubles have closed
many of the canneries in other
sections. Two of the Rupert plants,
those at Lebanon and Neberg, are
being operated by the creditors,
the others remaining closed. 1t is
probable that all will Ie reorgan
lied on a cooperative basis before
year, but meanwhile the
Industry is receiving setback.
