on several occasions conferred with his

CAN'T LABEL COFFEE
OF SUhATRA JAVA
Trade Hit by Decision Upholiing
Food and Drugs Act.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Food inspec-
tion decision No. 50, which limits the
use OF the term "Java" under the food
and drugs act, to coffee produced on
the island Of Java, will not be changed.
according TO forthcoming issue OF the
service and regulatory announcements
of the Bureau Of Chemistry.
Certain members Of the coffee trade
requested the Bureau OF Chemistry 10
recommend the modification of the de-
cison TO the extent of allowing coffee
produced on the island OF Sumatra or
other islands of the Dutch East Indies
10 be imported and shipped into inter
state commerce as Java coffee. II was
claimed by the trade that the coffee
produced on the island OF Sumatra was
equal, or superior, in quality 20 that
produced on the island of Java.
The food and drugs act provides that
any food or drug product shall be
deemed 70 be misbranded which is
falsely branded as 70 the state, terri
tory or country in which II is manu-
featured or produced. The Bureau OF
Chemistry, therefore, is OF the opinion
that under the terms OF the food and
drugs act, even il the coffee produced
on the island of Sumatra is equal or
superior 70 that produced on the island
of Java, Il cannot be imported into this
country or shipped into interstate com
marco labelled as Java coffee.
