PARIS. March ~lS-(P-Warning
that the world OF today faces the
same risk Of war as preceding epochs
was issued today by Senator Henry
Berenger, former ambassador TO
Washington, in a report 70 the
French parliament.
The report was submitted IN be-
half Of the finnace committee on
the budget Of the Ministry OF
Foreign Affairs and reviewed the
external politics Of France, which
NJ. Berenger insisted had ceased 10
be a European continental nation
and had become intercontinental.
After affirming that all countries
were forming international political
systems, M. Berenger made a critic
al analysis Of the League Of Nations,
the Young plan and the world court,
the project for a United States OF
Europe and the London Naval con-
ference.
He concluded that If %interconti-
mental politics sought the consollda-
ton Of peace. II was not necessarily
a synonym Of peace and that the
crisis was found in the fact that
democracies, while wishing peace,
feared war. and that. though wish
ing 10 disarm, they remained armed.

: Mr.. Parker went through most
Of the other vegetable producing
states, and made a careful study
OF conditions in Florida, in order
10 check the possible effect on the
Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Il went to Orlando. Jacksonville,
Tampa, Miami, and most other
points in Florida. and drove out
into the agricultural areas from
each city Mr.. Parker said.
We found the crops practically
wiped out oy the last freeze. The
tomatoes had been replanted a
second time, and were I'D about a
foot when the last freeze hit. II
cut them TO the ground, and prac-
tically wiped out beans also. The
potato crop was cut down con-
siderably.
Fruit not Damaged
The citrus fruit in Florida was
not damaged by the cold"
Mr.. Parker said the citrus In
dustry has reached its peak in
Florida. and that for the past two
years no new orchards have been
planted. The fruit fly has done
considerable damage to the market
ing Of the fruit and 10 financial
conditions IN general. although II
IS not hurting so much nov. he
said.
Mr.. Parker went through the
agricultural sections of other
Southern states. and said that the
Valley will have the market prac-
tically TO itself for spring vege-
tables, particularly beans, tomatoes.
and potatoes.
Unless shipments out Of Mexico
interfere, these crops should bring
more money than they have ever
brought the Valley in the past. he
declared.
Il notice NJ. Wade Of San Ben
ito predicted a return OF SIS. 900 900
to the Lower Rio Grande Valley
from this years crop" Mr.. Parker
said.
Il think he Is correct, and con
s~ervative. ! look for the entire sea-
son. including cotton. to bring the
Valley more than SOS 900, 900.
Tourist Crop Different
That amount OF money would
put the Valley in the best financial
condition II has ever known, and
will make possible a rapid develop
ment throughout the section"
In discussing the tourist traffic,
Mr. Parker said Florida gets a
different group OF tourists than
the Valley, and will continue 10 do
so.
The Valley Is drawing tourists
from the Middle West, Florida from
the Eastern seaboard.
We could not have taken care
Of more tourists If We had had them
this winter" Mr.. Parker said. "As
soon as we have some resort ard
tourist hotels for tourists. then
ne will get more OF them. They will
come. in my opinion, about as fast
as we al take care OF them"
