French Ambassador Jusserand complains to Secretary of State Root about American policy toward French vinegar imports from the Cessat de Bordeaux firm, which are now being held up at customs after 60 years of commerce between the firm and the United States. Jusserand believes it is not only harmful to French trade but also to American trade. The vinegar imports have been stopped due to their labels, but Jusserand believes this is unfair because the firm has followed American custom for labels. Jusserand concludes by mentioning 125 cases ordered by a man in New Orleans, Louisiana held up in customs and asks for Root’s assistance in the matter.
