Monopolist lobbyists were
taken by surprise. Before any
emergency arose a mobilisation
plan was drafted. It provided
many comfortable features for
monopolies. Among them were
such items as immediate suspen­
sion of all anti-trust laws, on the
excuse that allocation of mate­
rials would make this necessary.
The underlying motive was to in­

government defense contracts
would not result in true compe­

cannot show they are unable to
obtain reasonable loans. The
total loans outstanding at any
one time would be limited to two
billion dollars.

If enough pressure is exerted by
small business, especially by
small manufacturers, the bill
can go through as set up. This
would result in healthy local pay­

There are many reasons why
supporters of the bill want it

all time: These magnificent roses have been elected to the

on the basis of their performance in America's gardens.
Only thirty-four roses of the hundreds of new varieties
developed between 1940 snd 1950 have been able to qualify
for the A.A.R.S. award, and from this number the Top Ten
were chosen. All America awards are given only after two
rears of intensive teeting la oflfclal trial gardens located
throughout the country. The final selections indicate that
red is still America’s favorite rose color. Taffeta is carmine;
Peace, pale gold; Rubaiyat, crimson-pink; Forty-Niner is
bi-colored, chrome yellow outside and Chinese red inside;
San Fernando, currant red; K. T. Marshall, golden pink;
Nocturne, deep red; Lowell Thomas, golden yellow; Char­
lotte \rm»iros»g, cerise; and Mirandy, chrysanthemum red.
AH of the Top Ten are hybrid teas and will do well in any
section of the country.
