 Resolution adopted. 



Resolution No. 6. 



Whereas, Several States have recently passed prohibitory laws that 

 make no distinction between light wines and the stronger liquors; and 



Whereas, This legislation is based on a lack of knowledge by the voters 

 and the legislators as to the true merits of wine as a food, a tonic and a 

 beverage; therefore, be it 



Resolved, By the International Congress of Viticulture in meeting assem- 

 bled in Recital Hall, in Festival Hall, at the Panama-Pacific International 

 Exposition, that we strongly recommend a campaign of education that shall 

 teach the people of the United States the use of wine at the table with meals, 

 the same as has been done for centuries by millions of people in Europe. 



Moved by Mr. William B. Alwood, of Charlottesville, Va., that the resolu- 

 tion be adopted as read. Seconded by Mr. Sheridan Peterson, of Santa Rosa, 

 Cal. Motion carried. 



Resolution No. 7. 



Whereas, A campaign of destruction against the growers of grapes and

Whereas, The effect of such agitation has resulted in the depreciation

 thrown out of employment thousands of men engaged in an agricultural 

 pursuit; therefore, be it 



Resolved, By the International Congress of Viticulture in meeting assem- 

 bled in Recital Hall, at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, that 

 we denounce this so-called crusade, because it is practically a confiscation 

 of property without just compensation. 



Moved by Mr. George E. Lawrence, of Lodi, Cal., that the resolution be 

 adopted. Seconded by Mr. R. W. Bettoli, of San Francisco. 



Resolution adopted.
