SOUTH AMERICAN BEEF

The cattle men of the West are
showing their impatience with the
Washington Government which is
accused of coddling to Argentine
and its canned beef. Senator Cap
per has introduced protest in the
Senate against trade treaties which
would allow increased shipments
of beef from South American coun-
tries. He opposes the general prin-
ciple of the State Department to
negotiate a treaty which would
bring the products of Argentine in
to competition with our own citi-
gems. Il believe in giving our own
people the first and best oppor-
tunity to market their products"
