Washington, April 5.-Rene vi
ciani, former premier of France, in
statement today to the Associat-
ed Press, said the purpose of his
visit to the United States was to
sound public opinion in America
and inform the American people of

The French envoy expressed
qualification at the sentiment fav-
orable to France he had observed
in conferences with leading public
officials.
The statement of the former
French premier was the first he
has made since his arrival in the
United States in which the pur-
poses of his mission was set forth
In Connection with his conferences

forces in north Asia Minor seem to
be in danger of losing Brusa upon
which city the Turkish national
lists are advancing in superior
numbers. The Greek casualties
during the past ten days on the
Eski-Shehr front are estimated at
$50 officers and 1000 men. Ismet
Pasha, Turkish commander at
Eski-Shehr, is issuing wireless dis
patches comparing the Turkish
victory there to the battle of the
Marne. He adds in his statement
that he was a student of Marshal
Joffre.
The Greek debacle at Eski-Shehr
is said to have been due to the
failure OF division in the Sugut
section to advance in conjunction
with a division from Bilejik to
the north, and another from Inegol
to the southwest.

To Form
Concern
Cooperative Concern
To Take Over Kurtz
Company Plant Is
Announcement

Articles of incorporation will
be filed this week for the Pro-
ducers Canning and Packing
company with a capital stock of
$125, 900, cooperative concern
organized on radically different
lines from that of existing corpo-
rations, which will take over and
operate the fruit cannery, evapo-
rator and packing plant of the F.
A. Kurtz Co. at Salem. OF the
capital stock over 100000 has
been subscribed by local growers
and it is expected the remaining
stock will be taken up in a few
days. Over a thousand acres of
producing berry and fruit orch
ards are represented by the sub
scribers.
Under the plan of operation,
the growers will receive all that
is in the crop after the expense
of processing and marketing is
deducted. There will be no big
salaries or heavy overhead, which
wrecks so many cooperative con-
Germs. The manager will be paid
on a commission basis for sales
made. In brief the aim of tho In
corporators is to combine the
best features of cooperative con-
Germs with the best features of in
dividual ownership and secure to-
the producer the full value of
bis produce.
Fruits and berries are to be
packed, preserved, stored, dried
and transported at actual cost.
For all products, canned, juiced
and dried, ten percent of the re-
ceipts are to be set aside for stock
dividends, taxes, upkeep and re-
pairs, insurance and management,
OF this 10 percent, 20 perouu,
will go to management. The grow
ers receive 80 percent of the re-
ceipts, less actual cost of packing
and shipping. For all dried fruits
delivered by stockholders to COM
pany's plant, the company shall
pack and dispose of at actual cost,
reserving 5 percent of selling
price for stockholders.
F. A. Kurtz will act as general
manager on commission basis. The
board of directors will be elect
ed at the first meeting after in
corporation.
The company has been promot-
ed by M. e. Lee of Portland, who
is the originator of this plan of
successful cooperation, at the re-
quest Of those interested. Ar
rangements have been completed
to finance the growing of mem
bers crops.

A closed meeting of the timber

Local labor leaders were in
hopes yesterday that Mr.. Spauld-

regarding the uestion of arbitra-
ton, but their attempts so far
have been failure, though
there has been considerable ef-

The largest deal in prunes of

by w. F. Drager, of the Dl~ser
Fruit company of Salem, for ex-

ington Italian prunes are being
shipped to Germany, having been
purchased within the past two
weeks by the Lager Fruit COM
pany.
OF this quantity 1,025, 900
pounds were purchased from the
Oregon Growers Cooperative asso-
citation, 100000 pounds from the
Washington Growers Cooperative
association and 125, 1000 pounds
from the Dundee Prune Growers
association.
The prunes have been sold to
Germany and will be shipped dur
ing the present month by steamer
from Portland, Or. The sizes rep
resented in this sale are 70-S0c,

are low, it is practically a clean

Drager Deserves Credit
Credit for making the sale is
due to w. +. Drager, manager of
the Drager Fruit company, who
reports it as perhaps the largest
single shipment ever made from
the northwest. I'VE have hopes"
says Mr.. Drager, of being able
to report additional shipments
for export, but foreign business
is very difficult on account of
the rates of exchange. We are
making every effort possible to
clean up the 1920 crop of prunes,
and unless large quantities are
sold for export there will be no
clean up before the new crop is
ready for shipment"
Obstacles Overcome
While considerable gossip has
been written up by the Portland
and local newspapers regarding
this sale to Germany, the fact is,
Mr.. Drager, realizing Inat some
concrete effort must be made to
move part of our large surplus of
prunes, started negotiations thru
his connections several weeks ago.
Little encouragement was offer
ed at first but through persist
ent arguments the contract was
finally secured.
