Cabell. the London manager' of Armour and company, who In an interview with a Press Association represen tative, complains that none of the American firms were heard by the committee and charges that the latter'a report was compiled "un der strong prejudice. "Several passages In the report show a clear but very Ill-informed animus against the ' American firms," Cabell states. "Particular ly in its reference to Argentina. No one would guess from the re port that the Chicago packers en tered the Argentine trade at the request, almost at the entreaties, or the British " firms which bad opened np 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 report is due to the reluctance 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 be to raise-meat prices all over the United Kingdom. ly active there today.
