the bill and that its principal opposi-
ton came from the Royal Dutch Oil
Company. a foreign monopoly
Senator Borah Of Idaho, on the other
hand. declared that the bill would
drive Independents out of business and
force them to compete with the Stand

Senator Thomas urged elimination
OF the sections providing that 10 one

more than 1850 acres or more than
one-tenth interest in any organization
