Mr. Justice Marshall,
concurring.
I join in the judgment and opinion of the Court, with one qualification. Part III-B of the opinion correctly notes that we have no occasion today to pass upon the *204applicability of the Clayton Act to activities having a substantial effect on commerce although not “in commerce,” since no such effects are present in this case. For the same reason, we ought not to characterize the construction offered by the United States as a “radical expansion of the Clayton Act’s scope.” As the Court itself says, “the situation is not so clear.” Until the issue is properly presented by a case requiring its resolution, I would express no opinion on it.
