not appeal. 1t has been suggested
that since the government did not
avail itself of the right to appeal
within the time limit the tobacco in
terests were entitled to regard the
decree as a final determination Of
the issues and the government should
not attempt to undo it after the eX-
piration of two years. However, the
attorney general, who regards the
decree as a mere subterfuge' is Civ
