Trade Treaty Not To Affect Cattle And Wool Markets
Washington officials said talks on a reciprocal trade treaty with Argentina would barely affect western cattle and wool sectors. Beefs canned or preserved in airtight packaging faced a 6 cent per pound duty, with Argentine canned corned beef cited as controversial. U S imports from Argentina in 1938 totaled 33 902 000 pounds of canned corned beef worth 3 741 000 dollars. Officials noted Argentine meat often entered without canning. The list of concessions also included beef and veal not packed airtight, under a 6 cent duty. A St Louis Cardinals owner, Sam Breadon, was hospitalized after a fall at his Missouri farm.
