As to the imported beef being cheaper in price. there is no argument. Argentine beef is produced under much cheaper conditions. and in a country where the standard of living is lower and where the tax burden is less than in the United States. If price is the consideration. then this country could save hundreds of millions of dollars by purchasing all of its requirements in the foreign market and thereby building pay rolls for the alien coolies and peasants of foreign lands. We could save millions of dollars by purchasing German steel for our battleships and for our Government buildings. but John L. Lewis and the United States Steel Trust will not permit that.
