CABINET MEETING, OCTOBER 4, 1946
(add Paul Porter
THE PRESIDENT
Called meeting to discuss food situation - both gentl emen
who are responsible for not getting P. H. steaks.
FORRESTAL
Hang em both!
THE PRESIDENT
Has been collecting figures but has not reached any conclu-
sion. Have got to find answer or confess judgment - asked Anderson
to tell positions.
ANDERSON
Has been opposed to control of meat - but thinks that we must
continue controls now.
There is no chance of regaining position within this country.
60 day suspensions is no good. Farmers will hold back for
holidays.
All cattlemen - sheepmen have contracted at prices which will
not permit cattle to move in regular markets - only way is black
market.
Chain stores not in packing business - before now in - just as
bad as packers going into chain store biz.
There is an abundance of meat on ranges - our goal is to see
how we can get this to market - only way we can do this is imports
which will force range cattle in U. S. to market. 300,000 good
steers can come out of Mexico immediately - 2 million in this
coming year can be important.
Opening border will antagonize every U. S. cattleman but may
win support in New York.
