Government Will Inaugurate Rigid Inspection

By AfindntPft I'russ.

NEW YORK, July 20.— The Herald's correspondent at Berlin cables the following:

. Notwithstanding President Roosevelt's official assurance that the new inspection law will guarantee the purity of American meat exports, I am informed that Germany will enforce new and more stringent regulations after September 15 agalnjt Imports from American packl g houses.

Meat Inspectors at various German ports have been instructed that, beginning on date named, '.he • are to scrutinize glands of all Imported meat cuts for tuberculosis, and if symptoms are discovered the meat .'s not to be permitted to enter.

Thlß constitutes a direct blow at what remains of the American meat import trade in Ger:nany.
