AMERICAN PORK EXCLUDED
New Inspection Law Not Sufficiently
Rigorous to Suit French
Officials.

Paris. Nov. 20.-The elimination Of the
microscopic examination Of pork from
the new American meat inspection regu-
lations has resulted in q preliminary de-
cision on the part Of the French Gus
toms authorities barring American ham,
bacon. canned pork. etc
After long diplomatic negotiations sew
eral years ago France agreed to admit
American pork upon a government GER
tificate that il had been micrOscOpically
examined and found sound. When, there
fore, the new regulations instituted after
the packing disclosures and under which
the first shipments are now on their way
to French ports were submitted to the
authorities here. they ruled that they ii
not comply with the old agreement. and
prompt measures were instituted to Sc
cure their reversal and if possible avoid
prolonged unpleasant diplomatic negOtis-
tiOns
AMBASSADOR Mccormick. under instruc-
tiOns from Washington, made energetic
representations TO the foreign office
pointing out that while the microscopic
examination had been eliminated, the
new meat inspection was more rigorous
and more efficient.
Foreign Minister PichOn promised TO
give the matter immediate attention. A
slight delay will not cause great mate
rial loss as the pork impOTtations 10
France are comparatively small the trade
never having recovered from the blow IL
received when American pork was orig
inally excluded from France.
