jersonnlly to probe tho matter. H
has Interviewed scores of moat deal
ert, from tho smallest to packers do
ing an International business, and
while he refuses to exprqss an opin
ion for publication It Is reported
.that he believes tho American trut
Ik responsible for prevailing prices.
In dhcivislon with political
friends a few days ago Asqulth ad
mlteed that It would bo difficult to

principally In the United States but
that ho hoped to find some Eolutlc. i
