of miles of freightage we are inclined
to say that it cannot be done. But it,
is being done, and really the answer
is very simple.
This Australian beef is sold to re-
tailers on the docks. There is no
wholesaler or middleman concerned.
Secondly, the Australian dealers
or producers are not piling up mil
lions of profit after the fashion of
the Armours, Swifts, Cudahys and
other of our big meat families and
firms.
Take the cost of the Imiddleman
and the millions of profit demanded
by our packer families out of our
meat business and it is likely that i'm
ported meat from far parts like Aus
tralia and South America cannot
compete with our meat at all.
We pay big prices for meats SIM
ply that comparatively few agents
and families can make enormous for
tunes. It is different with Australia,
where the producer seems able to
get his fair proportion of the profits.
The opening of the Panama Canal
may mean much cheaper meats to
the Pacific coast from Argentina and
other South American regions. In
deed, meat promises to become
cheaper and cheaper for us who eat
it, after paying for it. Under the ma
tionaI policy which Woodrow Wilson
is trying to reverse, this is bad, and
should be stopped by a great tariff
wall, regardless of the fact that our
land is becoming too valuable for
grazing purposes.
