American rights in France questioned by treaty dispute
Washington reports a state department inquiry into alleged discrimination against American property owners in France. Captain Paul Rockwell of the American army fought in World War I and seeks to take possession of his Paris home, but French tenants resist citing French rent laws. The 1853 Franco American treaty promised equal property rights for nationals, a clause now argued to apply to about 12 000 Americans in France and 155 000 French in the United States. The case has faced repeated court obstacles, including a judge reportedly telling Rockwell an American citizen has no rights in France.
