or 400 hundred home coming Irish Amer

than this, rarely less. One steamer had
nearly 700 passengers for Queenstown.
And Ireland is taking care OF them, too,

pared for the homecomers.

to advocate. especially now, when it was
announced that serious outbreak of foot
and mouth disease had occurred in nc
fewer than five centers in the Argentine
| Republic.
If this outbreak had never occurred the
removal Of the embargo would not satisfy
the cry for cheap meat because there
were no restrictions on the importation
of dead meat or on fat cattle, to b,
slaughtered on arriva! from the United
States or Canada
