Paris, Aug. S.-Efforts made to obtain
the full text of the decree, published in
the French governments official jour
nal recently, abolishing all import pro-
hibitions except those on some 20 Of the
articles banned from the French ports

governments desire that the new order
should appear in the regular issue of the
journal in order that foreign countries
might have an equal chance Of learning
the fresh law.
From a semi official resume Of the
new important decree given out by
French news agency, however it is clear
that on the matter of import control
the French government has reverted to
what virtually corresponds to the nor
NAL state Of things before the war. That
such would be the case was announced
in these dispatches some weeks ago,
although it was impossible at that time
tc foreshadow what articles would be
struck off the prohibited list
Another feature of the new decree
is the increase Of supplementary tariff
duties fixed on number of articles by
the April law, the reason for the addl-
tional increase given by the govern
ment being the rise in value Of the
articles concerned. about fifty in num-
ber. Unlike the April law, which pro-
hibited the importation of certain ar
titles without leaving any means of
exceptional treatment, the decree an
nounced provides that the ban may be
lifted in special cases on articles which
remain In the prohibited list after revi-
sion of the April decree.
Genuine pearls. as distinguished from
the imitation article, remain on the pro
hibited list under the decree. Vintage
