cut thirty per cent., the operation; was calculated to help export trade by making prices of French pro- i ducts lower to foreign buyers.P.is-1 ing costs of production and mount-! ing domestic prices, however, tend- ! ed to counter-act this effect.Premier Blum personally answered his critics: \u201cImprovement in the economic situation is already an accomplished fact, and we shall see in an early, second phase, its repercussions on the whole of the financial situation.\u201d Montreal, Feb.22.\u2014Racket-ridden Montreal had it from J.J.Penverne today that this city\u2019s criminals work within the bulwark of a $1,250,000-a-year protection fund and that Mayor J.Adhemar Raynault is out to clean them up.Grimly determined to \u201clet the chips fall where they may,\u201d the mayor will sendd his forthcoming racket and vice inquiry into every form of organized crime, Penverne said last night as he came back from a Raynault-ordered survey of the noted Dewey probe in New' York.Montreal\u2019s war on the racketeers and vice overlords is to be waged on the model laid down by prosecutor Thomas E.Dewey, Penverne indicated.A staff of special investigators, probably under Penverne himself, will first go after gambling, disorderly houses, alcohol-runners and what the lawyer calls \u201cwholesale stealing of elections.\u201d ! The election \u201csteals,\u201d according to : Penverne, are delivered by criminals as one of their services for protec-! tion.Other fonns of crime to be investigated include a variety from social welfare frauds to loan sharks and other business crooks.Penverne has estimated that, apart from the $1,250,000 protection money figure, these and other-rackets are milking Montreal's 1,-000,000 people at the rate of around $200,000.000 a year.\u201cAnd it will get worse if we don\u2019t get it at the start,\u201d he declared.It was proposed, he said, to send specialists after specialized crime with a force that would be somewhat distinct from the police and \u2022\u2018wholly senarated from politics.\u201d The lawyer will report this week to Mayor Raynault on his New York visit, and it is expected the investigation will be launched in a month or so.Hackensack Official Calls Special Conference of Law Enforcement Officials io Obtain Extra Funds to Press Investigation into Slaying of Union Agent.Hackensack, N.J., Feb.22.\u2014Encouraged by unexpected secret progress in the R.Norman Redwood murder mystery, Prosecutor John J.Breslin went before an extraordinary law enforcement conference to-j day with his plans for pressing ac- tion in the case.-Everything depends on the.jion-; ference,\u201d he said, declining to discuss the unlooked-for developments : of the last twenty-four hours.His confidence, however, contrasted with his attitude two days ago when ! he said chances of a complete solu-! tion in the case were one in a one hundred.Regarded as an important \u201cbreak\u201d was a girl\u2019s description of the automobile in which \u201cfour or five\u201d men, believed to be the killers, rode to ; the scene of the crime.The prosecutor said this tallied with \u201cconfidential information received from other sources.\u2019I- Breslin continued uncommunicative on his reasons for summoning a meeting of judges and county offici-1 als, but informed sources expressed belief he was seeking a large appro-i priation for an exhaustive investigation and the murder trials possibly resulting.Labor and union disputes, in) ; Breslin\u2019s opinion, hold the secret of) why Redwood, English-born business agent for a New \\ ork subway workers\u2019 union, was shot to death j by a squad of gunmen near his Tea-neck home on Friday night.If funds were forthcoming, it was believed, the investigation would im-i mediately focus on these disputes.Momentarily in the background j as the conference convened was the ! bulky figure of Samuel R.Rosoff.millionaire subway builder and man : of many enterprises, sought by Breslin for questioning.Secluded in New York, Rosoff stood firm on his refusal to come to New Jersey for examination.f ÜilÉÉ Skis made to fit on the wheels of airplanes so they may land on snow became a part of the equipment of this ,plane as the U.S.army joined the nation s current ski vogue in all seriousness.The landing device was included among the new cold weather equipment tested by high army officers at Selfridge Field, Mt.Clemens, Mich, FACING TRIP IN IRON \u201cLUNG\u201d QUALITY OF FRENCH USED IN QUEBEC IS DEFENDED Dominion French ArchivisL Replies to Criticism of Dominion Drama Festival Official Against Language of Quebec Province.Ottawa, Feb.22.\u2014The French i language spoken in the Province of !
