BOWLES: Thank you for your letter of September 6 which I have read with interest. I am sorry that I cannot agree with you on some of the matters covered by your letter. and particularly the following: 1. It is not correct to state that cheese of Italian types is "generally consumed by people who have. or whose ancestors have immigrated from that area." Parmesan cheese. for instance. is used in volumes -of millions of pounds by American processors of food and for general American consumption. Blue cheese and Gorgonzola are found on almost every train In the country. and the Provolone cheese is used in a great many American eating places for sandwiches. 2. If you look at the enormous volume of cheese bf Italian varieties imported from South America since 1940 you will come to realize that in a large measure the supply that used to come from Italy has been substitutdd by Argentina. 3.
