Washington (U.R) Secre
tary of Agriculture Charles P.
Brannan said Wednesday the al
most five-year ban against im
ports of Mexican meat and live
stock will be lifted September
1 if no more outbreaks of foot
and mouth disease occur.
Brannan said Mexico then will
be declared free of the conta
gious virus for the first time in
almost five years. Law prohibits
the importation of live cattle,
sheep, goats or swine or their
meat products from a country
infected with the animal disease
until the secretary determines
It no longer exists.
In Effect Since 1948
The embargo against Mexican
meat and livestock has been in
effect since 1946. The U. S., co
operating with the Mexican gov
ernment has spent about $123,-
000,000 in a clean-up campaign.
More than 1,000,000 animals
were slaughtered and more than
60,000,000 have been vaccinated
against the disease.
More than 8,000 Mexicans and
Americans were employed at one
time by the joint eradication
commission. Brannan described
the joint program as "one of
the greatest battles ever waged
against animal disease."
Tops Canadian Exports
Before the Mexican ban was
imposed, Mexico exported about
500,000 head of cattle annually
to this country. This is about
200,000 more than Canadian ex
ports totaled last year. Canadian
shipments were cut off two
weeks ago when a foot and
mouth outbreak was discovered
in Saskatchewan province.
