A rejoinder to the committee's
findings ia made by R. H. 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
