SALESMANSHIP ABROAD BOOSTS FOOD EXPORTS NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-—American foodstuffs, pushed by American sales- manship, have entered every country of the world. A recent survey shows that “buy- ers’ resistance” and the gastronomic prejudice of home-fed natives have capitulated to a tickled palate. Japan and China smack their lips over steaming corned beef hash and canned sausage. India is growing sturdy on Columbia river salmon and California fruit. And Brazil keeps the American market swamped with de- mands for canned asparagus. Tariff Walls Scaled Not even tarift walls, which the] | Husband Finds Wife { Str_angled to Death!
