FRANCE WILL TALK
TARIFF FOR WINE
Willing to Make Concessions
for Large Importations
Into u. s.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 30.-That France
is ready to negotiate tariffs with the
United States in exchange for a big
wine quota was indicated yesterday in
government quarters.
The wine group in the Chamber Of
Deputies already has asked the govern
ment to usa Frances unfavorable trade
balance with America to bargain for a
special quota of French wines.
An ALLEGATION scheme, which officials
regard as similar to the import quotas
for other products, with which France
negotiates trade concessions, was
talked of.
Market Seen.
One official said
I'VE are willing to talk business.
America has market for French wine
and naturally wants to sell American
goods in France.
1T Is strictly a business matter and
we do not believe an ALLEGATION plan
complicates the situation"
Wine interests have been urging the
government to avoid antagonizing the
United States on tariff matters. The
wine group in the Chamber. foreseeing
possible erect OF a Ce1ault on LHe
American war debt payment, declared
that the debts and wine importations
were entirely separate issues.
One hundred members of the Chamber
from the wine producing regions. mean
while. met to protest against what they
considered An American campaign in
favor of California wines by "sys-
tematically belittling the quality Of
French wines"
One Radical Socialist Deputy an
nounced they would ask the government
to make representations to Washington.
For years France and Algeria have
produced about 7,000.000,000 bottles of
wine annually, of which about l per
cent was exported. OF this 1 per cent
about one-eighth was sent to the United
States in re-prohibition years and the
trade amounted to a little more than
S5,000,000 year.
Wine growers have often talked about
paying the war debt in wine.
French individuals have had roseate

to obey the law and pay revenue taxes,
but who are discouraged now because
they have been restricted as to output
and importation. while their competi-
tors-who owe allegiance to no code
will continue to supply their customers
Instead of a code Of fair competition
the new pact may prove to be a device
Of unfair competition.
In theory, the new code is excellent
with the exception of some of its ambig-
uous provisions. In practice, 1t ties up
the law-abiding manufacturers and
gives their competitors free rein. This
is not so much the fault of the code as
the failure of the administration to
grasp the full implications Of the post
repeal problem.
Administration Believed Cautious.
The Roosevelt regime sponsored re-
peal, but now that 1t Is closer to the
responsibility for what happens after
repeal, it has grown cautious. The logic
of the repeal movement was to allow
the people through the States to regu-
late the hours or conditions Of sale, but
no prohibitionist In his most respondent
moment since the parade of repeal be-
gan ever dreamed that the Federal
Government even for the emergency
of few months could be persuaded to
control output and distribution.
Federal prohibition of one kind has
been supplanted by Federal prohibition
Of another kind And under both the
bootlegger grows wealthy and the Gov
ernment doesn't get the tax revenues
it is entitled to collect.
There is no constitutional warrant
for control of production, the fixing OF
prices, or the regulation of the import
supply. But the distillers have nc
disposition to make a legal fight. They
feel they should go along with the
administration. hoping that in time
the obvious continuance of the BOOTLEG
trade will prove the unwisdom of the
principles written into the code. Some
day when the bootlegger has beer
driven out, the control of production
presents way to bring about the re-
forms desired, though even this requires
more perspicacity and experience than
any Government board sitting in Wash
ington may be ey ted to possess as
to the drinking habits of the American
people or the daily rise and fall of the
curve OF human thirst or craving.

statistics that French exports Of the
commodity are comparatively small
that Italy has outsold France in guam

good wine.
Nevertheless, some wine exporters be-
neve that trade with the United States
should be good the first year after the
repeal OF prohibition because stocks will
have to be created, but they fear the

The strike of some employees of meat
packing plants was abandoned yester-
day pending a review of the dispute by

The strike was marked by various out
bursts of violence in which some truck
drivers were intimidated and their car
goes of meat destroyed by kerosene.
Those joining the strike asserted the
plants were not observing an N. r. A.

 Senator Norris, republican. Ne- braska, was suspicious of the silver strategy.
 Ut looks to me as if someone may be trying to throw q monkey wrench into tho machinery" said the veteran progressive. Maybe it would be a good thing. But I would be inclined to vote against 1t. This bill doesn't suit everybody, but 1t looks as if we were getting some thing worthwhile"
 Democratic leaders heard of tho coalition between republicans and free silver democrats with consid- crable apprehension. They began immediately an undercOver counter attack on the silver proposal.
 The republican plan cannot seri- ously interfere with administration plans unless the democratic silver bloc can bo won to 1t. In that event there probably would be suf- ficient coalition senate votes to oust gold and substitute mandatory silver coinage in the administration bill.
 In ccntering their attention on Wheeler, the republican conscrva- lives have found a weak spot In administration dcfcnses. Tho Mon. tanan was obviously annoyed by failure of President Roosevelt to consult him in drawing the infIation bill and after A. conference he per- guadcd tho president last week to consent to a permissive free silver amendment to the bill.

 President Roosevelt broadencd his conferences today for a three- cornered conversation among him self. Prime Minister Macdonald, who leaves Washington tomorrow, and former Premier Herriot.
 Silver came into the situation prominently overnight. It was learned that tho three statesmen agreed the world economic com ference should consider the prac- tIcability of utilizing some form of bi-metallIsm to draft silver for llm- ited duty to supplement gold as q money medium.
 President Roosevelt is expected to receive authority to act in this direction in the imitation bill now nearing vote in the Senate.
 Despite the joint announcement of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Macdonald that all agree ments would be reserved for the world economic conference, some of the participants indicated they believed some tentative agreements might be reached in advance.
 Canada struck q blow at gold by announcing abandonment of cur rency redemption in gold just as Prime Minister Bennett arrived to join in the series of conferences. Canada has controlled export of gold under license for moro than A year.

JUDGE McNIFF SWORN IN TO-DAY
The Aldermen
 Meet Tonight
No Bid for Bonds Vet Re- ceived But May'COme
 Later

Regardless of the fact that no bids for the citys proposed half million dollar bond issue had been received at press hour this after noon, the special meeting of the board of aldermen will be called at g o'clock as per schedule. It did not appear likely this afternoon that any bids would be received, although in recent years 1t has been the custom for proposed buy CTS to enter a bid just prior to the meetings.
 It might develop, officials stated to-day, that a representative or one of the bond houses might ap- present q bid. The current ac- ton of the bond market which shows even a decline in government bonds is responsible for the lack of bids, officials stated to-day.
 The meeting tonight was or- dered as a result of the meeting two weeks ago when authorities for the issuance of the bonds was granted at a special meeting of the board of aldermen. At that time 1t was decided to sell the bonds on c 20-yehr payment basis. No other action is expected to be brought up at to-night's meeting. :.
 Even though the bonds are not sold 1t will not cause any serious difficulty because arrangements have been made by Controller Daniel J. I.eary to negotiate O. half million dollar loan.

 still another petition aimed at chain store competition would limit the number of permits to sell beer held by any one chain store group to three.
 Another change was that in the clause where Il seller would be held responsible for accidents that might occur after liquor was sold 10 an intoxicated person. The change proposed is that the seller must Knowingly" sell to an in- toxicated person before he can be- come liable.
