Britons Doubt Word of Americans on Meat Trade
London May 13 The departmental committee report on alleged combinations in the UK meat trade devotes much to the American beef trust in London. It finds a US four-firm link exists but not strong enough to endanger the trade, though a rise in Argentine holdings could threaten UK supply and prices. The panel notes superficial ignorance among London reps, doubts their statements, and says the firms may coordinate price and supply, though no proof of deliberate suppression of rivals is found.
