Report To
by Senator Robert Morgan
For the past six months. I have
served on the National Commission
for the Review of Antitrust Laws,
and now the Commission has
finished its work and made its
report to the President.
This is something I have been
very much interested in and during
my tenure as North Carolina's
Attorney General my office was
active in antitrust matters.
Antitrust laws, of course, are
aimed at monopolies which threat
en free enterprise and open compe
tition. The framers of the North
Carolina Constitution recognized
the evils of monopolies when they
declared more than 200 years ago
that "monopolies are contrary to
the genius of a Free State and
ought not to be allowed."
Yet monopolies threaten the Free
Enterprise System today. North
Carolina businessmen have told
me that they could secure certain
items from only two or three
suppliers who seemed to have
Staff Sgt. Bratcher
Staff Sgt. Dennis Bratcher. son
of Mr. and Mrs. Johnny J. Bratcher
of Rt. 4. Raeford. has deployed to
Riyadh. Saudi Arabia, for tempo
rary duty.
Bratcher is a security specialist at
Langlev AFB, Va.. with the 1st
Tactical Fighter Wing, which flies
the F-15 Eagle.
The purpose of the deployment,
at the invitation of the Government
of Saudi Arabia, is to demonstrate
the capabilities of the F-15. The
visit is a demonstration of the
continuing close relationship be
tween Saudi Arabia and the U.S.
Approximately 300 maintenance
and support personnel accomp
anied the F-15s.
While in Saudi Arabia, the

cornered the market on certain
goods. And there is no real
competition when a handful of
extremely large companies control
most of the nation's energy sources.
We have had antitrust laws in
this country since the 1890's when
the Sherman Act was passed. But
they have been cumbersome and
many cases have taken years to try.
which has made antitrust proceed
ings ineffective in many instancy.
What the Commission has rec
ommended is a streamlining of
these procedures, so that monopo
lies can be taken to court with more
di.spatch.
If Congress will act to implement
the Commission's recommenda
tions it will make antitrust enforce
ment an effective tool rather than a
cumbersome drain on time and
resources.
It will also be taking steps to
return a large part of the economy
to a competitive, anti-inflationary
footing, such as the framers of our
state Constitution advocated.

Accent On
Agriculture
It has been said that the return to
cheap food prices will come when
we return to cheap farm production
costs, cheap money, cheap cars,
cheap shoes, cheap land, and also
-? cheap wages.
Farmers -- like everyone else --
know that food prices are high.
Farm wives shop at the supermar
ket. too. and they know how food
prices continually go up. But we
should keep in mind that high
prices are the symptoms of inflation
-? not the basic cause.
Also, we need to understand that
the most significant factors involv
ed in food prices include high fixed
costs in processing, distribution,
and merchandising.
During the past 30 years many of
us had become spoiled with cheap
food prices. Because we have spent
less, percentage-wise, for our food,
we have had more to spend on some
of the better things of life such as
stereos, color television, expensive
vacations, and college educations
for our children.
Farmers find no fault with the
"good life": they also want these
things for their families.
What upsets farmers, however, is
to see headlines that imply "good
news" when farm prices go down, i
because it may indicate lower food
prices. Consumers should under
stand that lower farm prices do not
automatically mean lower food
prices.
Only farmers produce food and
fiber -- not the Administration or ,
Congress. And the only way farm
ers will, or can. continue to
produce food for very long is to
have an incentive to do so. That
incentive is a price high enough to
give them a net income as good as
what they would have if they were
working in industry.
