STATEMENT GIVES
VIEWS ON CASE
Aim Is to Bring Perfectly Sanitary
Diaries, But Takes Next Best
for Present.

Giving unqualified Endorsement to the
practice Of pasteurization of all milk
from cows which have not passed the
tuberculin test. and recommending ma
tional legislation requiring pasteuriza-
ton Of milk and cream used to make
ice cream and butter, the Washington
Association for the Prevention OF Tu-
ksrculosis is on record as holding at
least for the present. views different
from those of the National Association.
The National Association, at Its meet
ing here last fall. declined to pass a
resolution favoriug the pasteurization OF
all milk from cows not proven free from
tuberculosis. 1t took the ground that it
would not indorse the use of milk from
tuberculous cows under any condition,
whether il had been pasteurized or not.
The action or the local association
means that, while it realizes the i'm
mense Importance of avoiding the use
OF milk from any COW which has not
passed the test. it knows also that be-
fore such an ideal state may be reach
ed many years must pass and much
work Of education be performed

William H. Forwood, Miss Mabel Board
man. the Rev. John Van Schaick. jr.,
DIR. William c. Gwynn. John Sherman,
DR.. J. D. Morgan, and the Rev. d. Z.
Wiseman
Concerning the reason for its action,
the association gave out the following
statement:
Although it is agreed that the use
OF milk from cows affected with tuber-
cul, sis or other diseases is objection
able, and in many respects disgusting,
the local association recognizes that
many ySlrs must pass before the use
of EsiEl from INFESTED cows can be
stoNPed. and that tuberculosis is so
uSeyalent among dairy cows that no
dairy COW can safely be regarded as free
from tiIs disease unless she is proven
SO by the application Of the tuberculin
test
1T also recognizes that the tuber-
culous dairy COW IS a source CT tuber-
culOsisa among persons, not the principal
source, but nevertheless Il source Of too
much Importance 10 be ignored. Hence
y is convinced that there is danger
in using raw milk and raw milk prod
ucts from tuberculous COWS
Temporary Expedient
THE local association urges that pas
teurization as applied to milk and dairy
products should be regarded as a tenn
porary exDedient. and that its avail
ability should not be used by the con-
samer OF milk as a reason for weaken
ing bis demands. or by the producer Of
milk as a reason for relaxing his efforts
20 have al milk and dairy products Of
such purity that they can be safely
used in a raw, untreated condition.
The term pasteuriZatiOn as ised by
the association is intended to mean the
exposure Of milk 10 q degre of tenn
perature not less than 40 degrees F.
and not higher than l58 degrees f..
and a maintenance OF the lower temper
allure not less than twenty minutes and
the higher not less than ten minutes"
