PARIS, June Ip During the hearing of the Banque Industrielle. case. Pernotte, former General Manager, replie ing to M. Doyen's reference to imprudently granted credits, declared that such credits had not been ex- tensive.

At the resumption of the Banque Industrielle case, the Doyen primarily attributed the failure of the bank to the world crisis of 1920, that the crash was duc less to faulty administration Ho declared

than the imprudence with which credits were granit- ed.]
