the Allied food representatives here.
The purpose is to build up the Allied

night between the food administration
and representatives Of the livestock
producers and feeders of the Western

to the staff of its meat division a prac-
tical production man to be selected
from q list submitted by the corn belt
men, and will undertake to relieve the
difficulties surrounding the cattle feed
ing industry by increasing the proper
ton of government purchases Of the
higher grades Of beef.
The administration records it's recog-
milton of the principle that producers
of necessary food should have Il fair
and reasonable profit in addition to

for tho guidance of the government an
Independent tribunal should determine
the cost OF producing meat.

been here for several days conferring
