FRANCE WANTS
OPPORTUNITY TO
ship WINE JUICE

PARIS, Nov. %. U.P)-French
vine growers have petitioned the
French government, through the
ministry of agriculture, to inquire
in Washington whether France can
compete with California in selling
legal wine-making grape Juice.
France is ready today, If per-
mittcd, to dump half million tons
Of fermenting but still feeble grape
juice into the United States.
All Of the famous vintageS-Sau-
terne, Burgundy. Loire, Aniou,
Medoc, Chambertin, Graves, Mar
Faux-could be shipped to America
green the grape growers say.
At the ministry Of agriculture,
officials admit the subject has its
possibilities. The French embassy
in Washington probably will DC in
structed soon by the Quai DOrsay
10 confer with the state department
and prohibition enforcement de-
Eartmcnt to see Just where French
G"ape juice stands.
Hitherto, France has never at
tempted to market the green
product, preferring to handle the
wine in the traditional French
manner. ~
The stronger wines, such as Bur-
eundy, Claret and Algerian Reds
and Whites would be ideal fol
shipment in wood anytime within
six months of the pressing. Unit
that time, they would not pass two
degrees Of alcohol, it is said.

against an extra session for this

posed to an extra session, and in
his announcement yesterday of
his intention to submit the protocol

what the President wants to avoid.
