Inspection of export meats bill expands to drugs
Washington April 28 Representative Fanston from the Committee on Agriculture reports the Senate bill for inspecting meats for export and barring adulterated foods and drinks. An amendment adds drugs to the ban. The report notes foreign bans on U S pork over alleged trichina, though it cites no proof, and argues home inspection could lift these condemnations, boosting exports by about 50 million dollars. It also highlights England's demand for cattle slaughter on arrival, costing U S cattle potential gains, and claims the bill would give the United States leverage with other nations.
