Mr.. Fielding admitted that the
statement which he prepared from
the books of the transport company
showing receipts and expenses while
The company was acting as agent Of

account any sums due the company

FRENCH PEOPLE WON'T
ACCEPT FROZEN FISE

PARIS, Oct. 88-The French
government, anxious to popularize
the eating of fish has been con-
ducting an extensive educational
campaign to this end. Much money
already has been spent, but the
whole thing bids fair to end in
failure because of the reluctance
of the people to change their ways
They are not heavy fish eaters, and
the argument is not advanced that
if the government recognizes this
and stops its efforts it viii save the
uneXpended portion of the propa-
oanda allowance, something like
so. 10000 francs.
The campaign included "Fish
Week" at Boulogne and elsewhere
exhibitions of deem sea fishing
methods and the showing Of films
illustrating various aspects Of the
Industry. Smart, new and efficient
fishing boats were provided IN
place of the old picturesque craft
and extensive refrigeration plants
were established to care for the
catch. q,
The main trouble seems TO be
in the Dopular aversion to fish that
has becn frozen. The people are
moi used to them, and apparently
tboy cannot be induced to cnah@e
