But the agents here of Amgrican meat ex. porters say this is no a at all, be- cause boracic meat preservation Is am un. known art of Germany and is never likely to be much used as it is unnecessary to preserve meat that is consumed where it is produced. Besides, they declare, the regu- lations are levelled at America alone and can serve mo other object than to prevent American exporters from competing with domestio meat producers.
