London, Jan. lO.-Apprehension of a world-wide meat control by American packing firms were disclosed in a recent report to the Board of Trade by a sub -commit tee of the Standing Committee on Trusts. "At present, the American meat companies 'nave nearly 60 per cent of the beef output from Ar gentina and Uruguay and about 75 per cent of the capacity of the meat plants built or building in Brazil." the reuort stated. "More over, they control nearly one-half of the whole trade bi smiuineia (the great London meat market) and they have also a solid footing in Canada and Australia. "Fears as to the extension of their activities are not confined to the United Kingdom, but are equally strong in the dominions," It continues. "The more they may be able to extend their operations in South America, the more they may be able to divert supplies from reach ing the United Kingdom: and the more they are able to control dis tributive business nere, tne more securely they will have the British consumer in their grip." . Suggestions were made by the committee to restrain, by taxation and by , subsidizing refrigerated shipping companies, the expansion! of foreign interests here, and an international investigation , was recommended to go anto the whole situation with a view to taking common action. A rejoiner to the committee's findings is made by R. H. Cabell, the London manager of Armour and Company, who in an interview with a Press Association repre sentative, complains that none of the American firms were heard by the committee and , charges that the latter's report was compiled "under stroncr oreiudice." --. L , 'Several-paMage in the report animus against the Aonertcan firms " Cabell states. "Particu larly in its reference to Argentina. No one would guess irom tne re nort that the Chicago packers en tered the Argentine trade at the request, almost at .the entreaties, of the British firms which tiad op ened up the .territory and had paid heavily for their experience and were anxious to be bought out," Mr. Cabell suggests that part of the supposed animus disclosed in the reuort is due to the relunctance of certain British firms to compete with the ."less wasteful and more efficient methods of their Ameri can rivals," and he says the only effect of the report must toe to raise meat prices all over the Un ited Kingdom.
