French Ambassador Jusserand complains to President Roosevelt about French vinegar being held up at customs by the Department of Agriculture due to problems with their labels, even after several revisions of them, which Jusserand feels is unreasonable. The issue of products being held up in customs is not only limited to vinegar, but also extends to several other products.
