In view Of the fact that the greater
portion Of the District milk supply
comes from the surrounding States as
is the case in all of the large cities Of
the country. the only manner in which
the proper supervision can be exercised
over the production and sale Of the
product DIT. Kcber argues. is through
the enactment OF a national law govern
