In answer to recent resolutions Of the
House, Secretary Frelinghuysen has sent to
the President, to be trans nitted to the House,
a long communication relating in detail the
history Of the restrictions and prohibitions
of the importation Of American pork
by various foreign governments, or
the correspondence between the
United States and such govern
ments on the subject, and OF the investiga-
tion made by our government in order to
determine whether the alleged danger to
public health from American exported meats
really existed The resu OF this investiga-
ton was To show that the prejudicial judg-
ment abroad against the swine export OF this
country was ex palte and unfounded.
The Sc, retary advises the President to rec
otnrnend that no legislative action be taken
hv Congress until the report of the commits
SION appointed by the President TO investi-
gate ihe condition Of American pork and
swine has been presented. This report will
soon be ready
The secretary adds: "Should it appear that
the meat products of this country are, as we
hslieve them to be, not delereriou'. but pro
motive Of health. it is believed that those
friendly nations which have put forth de-
crees inhibiting the Importation of our meats
would annul those DEGREES"
