FRENCH WANT DATA ONU.S. EXPORTERS Treasury Agent, to Be At- tached to Embassy Here, Will Be Appointed. By Cable to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. PARIS, November 8—It has been learned that the French government intends to take advantage of the privi- lege accorded in a recent agreement with the United States and, as a count- erpart for the United States Treasury agents operating in France, appoint a French treasury agent to be attached to the embassy at Washington, whose duty it will be to investigate, at the request of the French government or industrial groups, the books of American exporting firms. It is believed here that certain Amer- fcan industries are dumping goods in France, that is, selling here at a lower price than at home. It is particularly regarding these industries that their French competitors in the French home market, would like to have further in- formation in order to try to influence the government to readjust the French traffic accordingly.
