Witness his campaign. eat no veal,
eat no lamb" declared Mr.. Lasater,
Such a policy made effective would be
as disastrous to the dairy interests as
to the producing interests.
1.-THE distrust of Mr.. Hoover's inten-

the country that normal supplies of
food and feeds cannot be expected un-

Of ignorance, duplicity and misrepre-

Producers Neglected.
The administrations policy Of licensing
the canning, packing and sugar-reaning
interests, said Mr. Lasater, has affected
the cost of living to the consumer only
to a negligible extent. The great food
producers. the farmer. cattleman and
stock feeder, have been generally neg
lected while every effort has been
made to protect the interests Of the
middleman or retailer, it was charged

Mr.. Lasater questioned the accuracy
OF the food administrators statements
regarding the probability Of a beef
shortage. Citing figures to show that
