The follou,ing resolution \vas unanimously adopted:

BE IT RESOLVED that we as members of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, fnc. at our 60th Annual Meeting assembled in Chicago, May 7, unanimously make the following recommendation to the n.rembers of the Congress of the United States:

THAT THE SECTIONS OF THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT relating to the control of Wages and Prices not be renerved at the expiration of the Act on June 30, 1952.

We realize that a state of emergency was proclaimed by the President sometime ago. However, events have not justified the necessity for these controls and we consider them to be unwarranted under present circumstances.

Furthermore, r'u'e consider these controls an encroachment upon our individual liberties and a threat to the free enterprise system. They are un-American in concept and are socialistic in nature. There is also evidence of their being used in a punitive manner against the profit basis of our free economy. The administration of these unnecessary controls contributes further to the dangerous fiscal position in rvhich our government norv finds itself and adds unnecessarily to the cost of government and to the tax burden.

The registration l'as the largest in recent years.
