THE MEAT TRUST
The extension of the operations of the American -Moat Trust wns the subject of a statement made h.v Sir William Veatey before tlio British Commission on Income Tax. Sir William Vestey said: "Until ten years ago, the American Beef Trust hod not one single freezing works outside the United Stales. .Sinco then they have built very many in different parts of the world, solely to supply the English market, and are now .building freezing works at S4O Paulo, Santa Ana do Livramento, another quite near that place, and two at ltio Grande do Sul, all in Brazil, three in Paraguay, and one in Santa Cruz, Patagonia, and have bought land and are 'about to coinuienco Iho erection of another at Itosario do Santo Fe, in the Argentine Kepublic. They ar# also commencing building in Colombia, 1 believo at Baranquilla, olso sending out material to build in South Africa, and have their men out acquiring sites in other countries. They have, to my knowledge,, offered to buy important ivorks in the colonies. All their works in the past have, been built 'almost solely to supply the English market. While nil this work is being, dona i>,v the trust, not one English freezing works has been built abroad by any other firm than our own. It does seem to 1110 that the preferences which aro given in every possible way to the American Beef Trust by tho English Government should be stopped and English linns given equality of treatment. Wo do not ask for any preference in any way, but merely equality of taxation."
