I'm other words the prices in the
notice are the lowest ceiling prices
that can be established, not the
highest"
Mr.. Bowles said the purpose OF

growers"
The price chief said OPAs no
tice applies only to the 1916 crop,
and pointed out that it must be

Mr.. Bowles said that If OPA

problem"

that every year this figure would
be subject to review and possible
change.

French dissatisfaction with low
transatlantic fares proposed by
Pan American World Airways has
forced postponement Of daily sery-
ice which the American flag carrier
had planned TO open today between
New York and France, officials Of
the airline announced.
Pan American. which pioneered
the route to France In 1889, had
announced a fare of $295 to Mar
seilles, $50 under Transcontinental
& Western Airs rate to Paris.
The low rate, it was said, was not
satisfactory to Air France.
Pan American Is now seeking per-
mission to fly direct to Paris with
its new land planes. The line pio-
neered the route with seaplanes
and at present is restricted to the
seaport of Marseilles, although the
new competitor can fly direct to
Paris, Pan American spokesmen
said.
France followed England's action
| IN turning thumbs down on Pan
Americans proposed low rate sched-
ules. The line was forced to raiss
fares to England or accept re-
stricted schedule. 1t was announced
that passengers for France can
travel by clipper as far as London.
where frequent connecting services
by foreign airlines are available.
