TIME, Dec. 22, is wrong in treating lightly, whatever "London newsmen" may say, the matter of Spanish "champagne." The vital question of true and false indications of origin is involved, by implication the copyright and trademark laws, and the whole fabric of international agreements concerning labeling.
