RICE MONOPOLY

The Editor, H.K. Ually Press. Bir,It seems to me that the charges and denials regarding the 1,000,000 bags of rice are merely a red herring across the trail. The facts are:

1. There is a monopoly.

2. No one except the Monopoly can import or sell rice to the

retailers

3. No one but the monopoly can

fix the price.

4. Any merchant who has a stock of rice of his own cannot sell it without going through the monopoly.
