pests is being vigorously urged here in
an effort to save to agricultural interests
at least part of the billion dollar loss

the United States alone lacks such a law.
While half a dozen European nations
including Germany and France practice
complete exclusion of American nursery

every plant importation from whatever
source, the United States is SO wholly
without protection that there is no
practical bar to the deliberate importa-

insects. According to Secretary OF

has become the dumping ground" for
