Decree Rescinds Pork Tariff Prohibition in France
The Chamber of Deputies passed the tariff measure by 387 to 110, rescinding the pork prohibition. American salt pork, hams, and bacon will face a 20 franc duty per 100 kilos, with no prohibition. The move follows urging by United States officials and a push to complete the tariff bill. The session also rejected M. de Freycinet’s credit for the Ecole Polytechnique, prompting a cabinet meeting and threatened resignation.
