IL DUCE MAY
OPEN WAY FOR
NEW PARLEYS
Plan Rejection Seen,
But Mussolini Will
Not Burn Bridges,
Is Believed
•.——
GENEVA, Sept. 30. WV-Certmin
French sources here s&ld Friday they
believed Premier Mussolini would
not give a flat no to the League of j
Nations compromise plan for settle-;
ment of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute,
but would suggest a substitute.
Although this view was not shared
unanimously hy the French, ona of
them said: “Premier Mussolini may
reply, *your plan is idiotic but 1 am
wnung to discuss some other one'.”
1 here were unofficial reports that;
Premier Laval of France may ar
) range to see II Duce at tttresa, itaiy, I
next week and that Salvador ae
Maaanaga of cpain, chairman of tne
Italo-Euuopian committee which
drew up the compromise proposal, i
might also try to see the Italian
leader.
A report was circulated in League
quarters that Great Britain seeks a
pledge from U Duce that he will
bring back the major part of his
armies from northeast Africa and
that it was stated that the Italians,
on their part, want a pledge that!
there shall be no talk of lea
gue military penalties against Italy
in the event of war with Ethiopia, j
From a high source came the de- (
claration that de Madariaga's com-i
mlttee does not believe there can be
a modification of the -framework
plan" presented to Italy and Ethio
pia.
It was stated that since this is
f^anerely a skeleton scheme, both dis
puting parties must accept it at least
as a basis for negotiations or they
would get nowhere and that any
modification must be made after aj
preliminary acceptance.

MATURE FRUIT
PLEA RELEASED
W. H. Friend Cells Attention
To Stricter Laws For
Green Shipments
The shipment of green citrus
fruit is attacked In an article writ
ten by Superintendent W. H. Friend
of the Valley Experiment Station,
and endorsed by the South Texas
Citrus Growers league.
The Valley's 1935 crop of citrus
fruit, it says, will soon be starting
toward the markets With this open
ing of the fruit marketing season, we
are confronted with the old problem
of regulating the movement of green
or immature fruit that is unfit for
human consumption. If we allow na
ture to take its course, and leave the
fruit on the trees until it is fully
colored, there would be no "green"
fruit problem. However, scientists
have devised ways of defeating na
ture’s plan, and thus have the pro
blem of regulating the sale of arti
ficially bleached or "colored” fruit.
In reality, the bleaching out of the
green color in Immature fruit so that
it will appear to be ripe fruit is just
as fraudulent as misbranding or
mislabeling a package of merchan
dise.
Tne majority or valley citrus
growers are opposed to the selling of
Immature fruit; but in the rush to
realize some money out of their crop
they may become party to a crime
against our citrus industry. The
growers have collectively asked for
regulation of the movement of Val
ley citrus fruits, and the State Dep
artment of Agriculture has done its
best to devise ways and means of
achieving this object in a manner
that will be both effective and prac
ticable. It is true that no emperical
test has yet been devised that is 100
per cent effective in detecting the
qualities of fruit that make it un
palatable. The best means yet de
vised to stop the movement of green
fruit is to wait until there is a de
cided “break” in the color and taste
of the fruit before starting the har
vesting operations. The natural ten
dency. however, is to start the sea
son just as soon as possible. The re
sult is that we must all be taxed to
protect ourselves from one another.
Somewhat stricter laws will be in
force this year, and it is to be hoped
that they will serve the purpose of
keeping some of the inferior fruit
off the market.
“There is no method of treating
the trees or soil that will accelerate
the ripening process to any grfit
extent. Allowing a crop of grass and
weeds to grow during the late fall
season is probably the most practic
able means of hastening the matur
ity of the fruit. Soil moisture condi
tions must be kept favorable for
tree growth, especially during the
early part of the fall season, or the
natural growth and development of
the fruit may be retarded.”
