PAGE TWO The Week in W asliingtoii A RESUME OF GOVERNMENTAL HAPPENINGS IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL "Wash'glon, Muy 30 Two recent ; events have pretty nearly blown the; dome oft" the capitol, figuratively1 ' epeakirg They are the disclosure by President Roosevelt that he personal !y sanctioned the purchase of Argentine canned corned beef for the , navy. and the reports which have leakcx! out of the secret sessions of j the Dies committee investigating un-j American activities. If impassioned oratory could bring down the roofs of the senate and I bouse, which are none too secure j < architecturally, they would have col- j ? lapsed when senators and xepresen- ; tatives began to voice their indigua- j lion over the corned-beef affair. Not only from the cattle-raising \ states but from many other sections j ' the membois blew off steam in do-1 i fense of the American steer and ir. j i protest against the implied slur on i the quality of American beci* F : . the Picsident h id said public!v that < canned corned beef from the Arson- j tine was not only cheaper than! J American beef, but of superior qua'-1 ' ityThe total amount involved in the j * proposed navy purchase of corned j . beef is onlj* 545.000. and from the j . point of view of the administration1 i that is a low price t<.? pay for "up- : peaseme:.w" of Argentina. i Alone amor:: the South American republics, Argentina cherishes a : deep-seated hostility to the United States, arising from the embargo ' against the imp*tat ion to this conn try of fresh or frozen beef froth the j pampas of that great cattle-raising nation. The reason for that is that j : a large part of the Argentine range is infected with foot-and-mouth dis- j ease. That has not prevented other nations from buying Argentine frozen beef, which constitutes the country's largest industry, but the regulations of the TJuitovi Slates department of agriculture keep it out of til is try.

The senate naval appropriations committee voted to insert in the now naval supply bill a proviso that none of the money .should be spent to buy foreign food for the bluejackets. One senator made the startling discovery that in the senate and house restaurants members were being red with imported corned-beef, packed in Brazil by a branch of an American packing house concern. The navy authorities who compared American corned-beef with that of Argentina say that the latter is better because in this country only the poorer cuts of beef are corned, while the Argentines pickle the quality BARGAINS!
