TURKEY BARS AMERICAN PORK.
ACTION THAT DREW FORTH AN ENERGETIC PRO
TEST

Constantinople, March 29.-The Porte has in
formed the United States Legation that in fut-
ure the Importation of American pork will be
prohibited, giving reason for the prohibition
that the meat is injurious to the public health.
Lloyd c. Griscom, United States Charge daft
fairies protested energetically, demanding the
annulment of the measure.
Washington, March 29.-Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson said day that he had official informa-
ton that Turkey has prohibited the importa ton
OF American pork If any steps were taken in the
matter by this Government, he said, the State De-
partment would conduct the negotiations. IF it
has been decided TO bar out all pork" said the
Secretary. there be no cause for complaint
but If American pork is Disseminated against
will have good cause to protest. there be
the world. 1t IS probable that the action of the
igion of the Turks prohibits them from eating
pork. Statistics file this Department show
that during the last five years the value of hog
products exported from the United States to Turkey
has avera ged sl3 year"
Mr.. Griscom has acted of his votion in
lodging this protest, for the State Department has
not yet been informed Of the prohibition of the
Turkish Government 1t may be stated however
that his action is thoroughly commended by the
officials and he will be supported to the in
his protest. While II be stated officially
doubt Is entertained here that the action of the
Turkish Government is directly attributable the
secret influence of some Continental Powers whose
position in resistance the demands of the United
States for the admission OF American meat products

considerations.
