BRITISH FEAR
 |. s. CONTROL
 MEAT MARKETS

LONDON, Jan. "A (by Associated Press). Apprehension of a world wide meat control by AmefFan pack ing firms were disclosed in a recent report to the board of trade by sub committee of the standing committee of trusts.
 "At present, the American meat companies have nearly SO per cent of the beef output from Argentina and Uruguay and about 75 per cent of the capacity of the meat plants built or building in Brazil" the report stated. Moreover, they control nearly one- half of the whole trade of Smithfield (the great London meat market) and they have also solid footing in Can ada and Australia.
 "Fears as to the extension of their activities are not confined to the United Kingdom, but are equally strong in the dominions," it con- tinues.
 "The more they may be able to ex' tend their operations in South Amer. ica, the more they may be able to di' vert supplies from reaching the Unit. ed Kingdom; and the more they are able to control distributive business here, the more securely they will have the British consumer in their grip" A rejoiner to the committees find. il gs is made by R. R. Cabell, the Lon don manager of Armour & Company, 1ho In an interview with a Press As sociation representative, complains that none of the American firms were heard by the committee and charges that the latter's report was compiled Under strong prejudice"
 Several passages in the report show a clear but very ill-informed animus against the American firms, Cabell states Particularly in it's reference to Argentina. No one would guess from the report that the Chi cago packers entered the Argentine trade at the request almost at the entreaties, of the British firms which had opened up the territory and had paid heavily for their experience and were anxious to be bought out" MT. Cabell suggests that part of the supposed animus disclosed in the re- port is due to the reluctance of cer- tain British firms to compete with the Hess wasteful and more efficient methods of their American rivals D and he says the only effect of the re- port must be to raise meat prices all over the United Kingdom.

kato Power in Japan
No one in Japan outside Of the Pre-
mier or the Mikado has more authority
to voice the official views of TIE jap
anese government than Baron Kato or
Prince Tokugawa. The prince is the
head OF house whose shoguns have
helped to rule Japan for almost three
centuries. He pointed out when he
sailed from Japan that potent factor
tor the success of the conference would
be frank discussion and the absence of
suspicion. He said he was prepared to
meet the delegates from other powers
in an atmosphere of mutual trust and
confidence.
Baron kato said he was convinced
that the publication of Mr.. Hughes S
proposal in Japan would be hailed with
delight by the Japanese people, as the
heaVy taxation due to armament pro-
grams was depressing the people there
as in no other part of the world.
