"Charles W. Armoar said:

***It will be a long time before the prejudice against American meats in England will be allayed, and it will be stil, longer on the conti Dent. The packing industries of the country have enough obstacles to contend with without increasing the number unjustly or mischievously,

***Everybody knows how hard it is to con trol the meat trade in Germany and France. The world is allied commercially against the United States. It is only by dint of sheer superiority of products, better methods, and American strenuosity that Amerien holds her Dwa and is conquering the markets of the world. is not from any commercial hos pitality,

ONLY CHẲNCE FOR MIDDLE WIST. "So far as I can see there is only one way in which the Middle West can enter into the Oriental flour trade, and that would be through failure of crops on this coast. In that event we would be looked to supply the demand. But that is our only change. The Coast has act only the advantage of freight rates, bai'of the geographical position as well."

"It has been stated, Mr. Smith, that in com- parison with Middle West flour, that of the Coast is better adapted to the needs of the Orient.?

"Yes, to a large extent that is true. There this difference-the middle West flour has a greater proportion of gluten, while the Pacific conti flour is more starchy. For this reatoa, and with the Oriental manner of cooking and handling, the Pacific coast flour is preferable."

In response to a query as to what he thought of the present flour situation in the Orient, Mr. Smith said:
