000.000 citrus industry . Capgras ex-
pects to place orders for a consid-
erable amount of aoth fresh and
earned citrus frui . Juices and by-
products.
Grapefruit is now “grapefruit" in
France and not •pompelmousse"
the correct French term. Capgras
was quid to explain to newspaper
men. "The French have already-
learned that the most succulent
grapefruit come from the Lower
Rio Grande Valley of Texas.” Cap-
gras asserted “and when you get
your port built and can ship fruit
direct .. us we will use more and
more of it. Your farmers will not
appreciate what a rich market
France affords until you are able
to ship us your fruit by water. I
see a great future for both fresh
fruit and grapefruit Juice in
France”
Capgras has made comparatively
small purchases of canned grape-
fruit Juice from Valley concerns
during the past two seasons
through Alfred Pelanden former

WASHINGTON
TALK—Operations of the second
Federal Export-In.port banks are
extended to all countries except
Soviet Russia George N. Peek pres-
ident. outlines terms upon which the
bank will assist exporters It's as-
sumed that the enlarged scope of
this bank will dovetail in with ex-
pected increase of exports result-
ing from new reciprocity deals.
That's the scheme. But hard-
headed exporters can’t see any
benefits. In the first place they get
help—theoretically—from the fed-
eral bank only U commercial banks
fail down—and when a commercial
bank refuses credit on sound busi-
ness there's a reason. Peek makes
it pretty plain between the lines
that ll commercial banks refuse
credit he will be mighty chary in
granting it.
He might be killed in the politi-
cal rush if he hadn't that alibi.
They say one reason why the sec-
ond expen bank is advertised at this
time Is to bring pressure upon Am-
bassador Troyanovsky to settle the
Russian debt- Everybody—theoreti-
cally—can get credit for expons to
every country except soviet Russia.
Moscow diplomats have had a lot
of experience in stalling on debts
Not a single debt of old Russia 01
the Kerensky regime has been as-
sumed by the Soviet—not even a;
a discount.
It now develops that Litvmoil
merely assured FDR that the sov-
iet would “talk" about the debts
No undertaking to settle them
given.
Troyanovskv has told Sec. Hul
that the Soviet must go slow w debt
negotiations because if it agrees u
pay one country it must agree tc
pay other*.
