Can't Halt Competition.
Mr.. Nelson said it was also "re-
grettable but unavoidable" that the
progressive lifting of restrictions
may result in the production of
civilian items by concerns which
did not produce such items before
the war, and that the appearance
of such new competition will mo
doubt be unwelcome to previously
established concerns In the same
industries.
eff the Government were to at
tempt to prevent new competition, ;"
he continued, there clearly would
be grave danger of shackling the
country with a regimented economy
for a long while to come. =" I
do not believe democracy can long
exist or that the traditional liber-
ties of America can long be MAIN

(Contlnueo from Page one1 Daylight Saving Time during the war regulated our State laws re. garding time, and that War Time iO the standard time of our State. This conclusion was based upon the view that Federal statutes and Acts of Congress passed in pursu- ance thereof take precedence over the State law on the same sldb- ject.
 From the foregoing observations we must conclude that if the State statute conflicts with the Federal ruling as to price display signs of gasoline, the Federal ruling super. sedes our State statutes upon the same subject" Opinions of the Att torney General, Vol. 2, page -.
 Taking 1t for granted that the ruling of the Regional War Labor Board stems from right given M by congressional act, our view In the instant matter must therefore be the same as in the former opin- ions. Since the observations in the former opinion are equally appIi- cable to the instant matter, the same Is adopted as the basis for a similar conclusion herein.
 It is therefore my opinion that the compulsory check-of provision awarded by the Regional War Lac Dor Board and ordered included In 8 union contract supersedes tho State statutes relating to the pay- ment of wages.
