President Roosevelt explains that the only way to achieve the goal of assuring foreign nations that American meat is thoroughly inspected is to secure the passage of the Beveridge amendment, or one containing similar provisions. Any loss of trade rests on the shoulders of the people who have violated the law, and Roosevelt considers it imperative that legislation be passed to correct this both for the health of the United States’ own citizens and for the health of foreign trade.
