ment. He announced he would ask
for action on it by the full committee

were for the sake of clarity and pre-
cision with no material change In
substance.
The bill embodies every worthy
idea for consumers protection that
has been presented TO the committee"
he added. 1T is a vast improvement
over the present law and Is sorely
needed to conserve the welfare Of our
people.
1T should receive their unqualified
support. No legitimate commercial
interest should fear its provisions. but
on the contrary. those who manufac-
ture honest goods should welcome its
enactment as a means of reducing
unfair competition from dishonest
merchandise"
One OF the principal revisions. the
Senator said, was to give representa-
tion to the food industries on the
Advisory Committee which will ad-
wise the Secretary Of Agriculture in
establishing definitions and standards
for foods.
The committee as now provided Is
to consist Of seven members. three
from the general public, two from the
