FORT WORTH. May 9.-There
was no uniform trend in fruit and

IN his weekly review issued here.
A feature Of the seven day period
was the recovery of Texas onion
prices, and the fact that eastern
potatoes improced in price while
northern and western stock de-
clined. Prices of lettuce, tomatoes
and cabbage revealed weakness.

PROHIBITION is
RIDICULED BY
FRENCH MISSION
Law Should Serve as Les
son to World, Argument
of Wine Makers.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press stan Correspondent

PARIS, Nov. 15-Full liberty Of
drinking is inadvisable in America,
. but before long the ardent drys will
have overstepped themselves and
then the United States will evolve
a sensible form Of liquor control"
M. Ernest Guy. head Of French
Mission Of Grape Growers and Wine
Makers which went to the United
States to study the prohibition law
and its effect, said in formal re-
port today.
Guy believes that eventually the
United States will adopt form Of
liquor control based on the Cana
dian plan.
Let us thank America for the
spectacle she has given to the world
for the last ten years" Guys report
says, in conclusion. He argues that
the prohibition law should serve as
an object lesson to the entire world
The French mission had consider
able difficulty remaining sober in
New York, and the report plainly
admits 1t.
at is impossible TO stay any
length Of time without having to
protect ones self against the flood
OF alcoholic beverages which flows
beneath the surface. Such a situa-
ton is difficult to conceive in a
country such as ours.
There is an important psyche
logical factor. The existing state
Of affairs. developed by prohibition,
pleases the sporting instincts of the
American public. The papers are
full of amazing incidents. of stirring
chases at sea, gun battles on the
docks and pitched wars between
bootleggers and hi-jackers. The dry
and the bootlegger prosper side By
side"
In conclusion, NJ. Guy prophesies
that America can not stand the
strain much longer. Events are go
ing forward at a terrific pace which
can not be maintained for long. even
In the land of the strenuous life"

ITALY LEANING

Reaction to Hoover's
Speech May Turn Tables
on Submarine Attitude.
BY STEWART BROWN,
limited Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

PARIS, Nov. 15.-France appeared
far less concerned today over the
governments apparent intention of
continuing its naval building pro-
gram than with the seeming reluc-
lance of Italy to remain firm with
France against any attempt to abol-
ish the submarine at the forthcom-
ing f1ve-power naval conference.
Proceeding under the belief that
Italy was ready to join her, in
opposing the United States and
Great Britain, to retain the under
sea crafts, France already had start
ed preliminary conversations with
Rome rega1 ding the stand the two
nations would take at the January
conference.
The reaction Of the MuSsolini
government TO President Hoover's
Armistice day speech for freedom
of the seas, however, tended to
arouse considerable question here
as to whether Italy might not be
leaning toward the two English

The conversations now are await

understood that George Leygues,
minister of marine, will attend the
five-power conference to defend

Unlike Britain, which earlier in
the week moved to delay naval
building, France believes its 1880

deputies by Minister Leygues, is
more on the order of a substitution
