There is nothing even approach
ing monopoly here-for as every
housewife knows-the retail gro
ce:v bushes is the most competi-
tive in the country and we DO
only a small part of it. Nor was
there ever any charge that we
raised prices--for the whole basis
of this attack is the fact that we
sold good food too cheap. There
Is nothing in our operations-or in
any previous court decisions in
volving us-or in the ANTITRUST
laws themselves to Justify the dis
solution of A. & P.
Obviously-it is the theory of the
antitrust lawyers that the people
OF America have no right to pat
ronize a company if their patron
age will make that company grow
and that any big business must
be destroyed simply because 1t Is
big-and even if the public gets
hurt in the process.
This action is just opposite to
the purpose of the antitrust laws
were meant to increase
