MILK AGREEMENT
EXPECTED TODAY.
Seal Informed of Plans Re-
garding Code for WASH
ington Area.

Elwood H. Seal, special milk investi-
gator lor the Senate District Commit
tee. said this afternoon he had been
advised by John McGill, jr.. secretary
of the Maryland and Virginia MIX Pro-
ducers' Association, that the milk mar
keting agreement for the Washington
area would be presented at 2:30 pm
McGill denied the code was to be
presented, but Said. I'VE are going to
hold an informal conference with ofti-
cials of the Agriculture Department.
Dr. Frederic c. Howe, A. A. A. consum-
ers' counsel is said to have told Seal
however, he understood the agreement
was to be presented this afternoon.
Seal conferred with Howe this morning
A fight to obtain revision OF all milk
marketing agreements already approved
by the Agricultural Adjustment Admn-
iStration. on the ground they give un-
fair advantage to the national dalry
trust" was begun today by Representa-
tive Crosby. Democrat. of Pennsylvania.
Crosby, together with Seal, called on
DR.. Howe and obtained from him
promise to begin an immediate survey
to determine whether there is, i'll fact,
a surplus of milk throughout the. coun-
try.
Crosby said DR. Howe had agreed to
telegraph 500 of the largest milk re-
ce1Vlng plants, requesting nIOrmaIlon
as to disposition of milk after delivery
by the producer. He contended this
survey would bear out his statement
that there is no surplus milk. and that
the basic price of surplus quota
method of milk purchase is a 'subter-
fuge on the part of the national dairy
trust to obtain unfair advantage over
the producer"
The conference with DR.. Howe fol-
lowed an exchange Of correspondence
tstween Crosby and Assistant Secretary
Of Agriculture Tugwell in which the
Pennsylvania representative charged
Tugwell is mot familiar with the dairy
trusts tactics in dealing with milk
dealers and farmers throughout the
Nation"
Crosby said the base price-surplus
system already had been thoroughly
discredited and had been thrown cut
of milk agreements by bona flde farm
ers and producers. He suggested. as a
milk producer himself that TugWell and
the A A. A. institute the production
control system for the milk industry,
based on average milk production and
with guarantee of a fair and reasonable
price to the milk producer for his
product"

THE BACK TO THE
 LAND MOVEMENT May Be Tried With Good Results in Waterbury
 This Year -A PRACTICAL PLAN
PRACTICAL PLAN

An effort will be made this year to find work for all able bodied men out of employment tilling the soil in different parts of the city. There is no reason why this should not pay. Some very valuable tracts of land are available for this purpose, and If the dull times continue during the coming sea- son, there is no more practical thing that the Mutual Aid could do than set men to work raising crops that would come in handy next fall. Owners of plots of land would gladly allow it to be used for this purpose without cost.
 If this is to be carried on to any great extent it is not too soon to commence marking out suitable places. The larger the tract the

time of peace. In spite of count less mechanical devices and chem- ical mixtures, the only sound basis for adequate defense is trained and discnplined manpower," he added.
 Major General Benjamin D. Foul lois, chief of the army air service, who appeared in Waterbury during the American Legion state conven- ton last summer, stated "Slogans and phrases may lead a nation to enter a war but won't keep 1t out of war. We learned a lot in that last war, but large number of our citizens are just indifferent to these lessons and a vociferous mi- nority not 'pacifists, but 'pacifi- maniacs', to use a better term, learned their lesson the wrong way = deliberately or through ignor- ance," he added.
 Contrasting our national defense strength of 1920 with that of to- day, Congressman Goss pointed out that i've have many ominous tn- dications that the war to end war failed to accomplish it's purpose On the other hand, he said, our de- fensive strength has, for 8 number of reasons, greatly deteriorated from the standard determined up- on in 1920 as essential to national safety.
 Our position as the worlds great est naval power was traded for a naval treaty. Our regular army has been repeatedly reduced in, the name of economy so that today its strength Is much less than one- half the figure authorized in 1920. The National Guard has never reached the strength specified. In- stead of 490,00O, we have approx. im'ately 190.000 National Guards men.
 "At the present time the United States, the wealthiest nation in the world, has smaller military force than Greece or Belgium or Portu- gal. We actually stand seventeenth in point of organized strength among the nations of the world" he said.
 In conclusion, he said that "even in these times of economic strin- gency, the provisions of the Na- tional Defense Act should be de- parted from only after the possible consequences of such action have been most carefully weighed. Our national defense policy must never be measured primarily in terms of dollars and cents, but in terms of men,"

To do this in q large number of small places would entail the service of many. while but few would be needed to look after one large field. The plan was tried during the World War, and while it worked well enough, still 1t was not handled to the best ad- vantage, and besides the number of men available was far from what can be found at this time.

Expansion of the NRA on a

as a possibility in the radio ad-
dress last night of Secretary of

the Presidents recovery program.
A significant statement by the
Secretary was as follows:
1--WE have learned in these
times that we cannot plan
from a national viewpoint sole
Iy. Any well-balanced program
for our ultimate future must
comprehend a national and in
ternatiOnaI study. We cannot
expect any permanent, long
range benefits through the
limited approach of . single

group Of states and communi-
ties. Until we admit this and
base our long range planning
on this conception, our efforts
toward full recovery are likely
to prove futile. In line with
this national and international
planning fittingly comes the re-
establishment of diplomatic re-
latiOnS between our country
and Soviet Russia"
Roper, citing the achievements
of the NRA, spoke of the aboli-
ton of child labor and improve
ment in the coal fields as of out
standing Importance. He de-
clared that the nation is as much
at war today as in 1918, and that
it is time to forget politics and
fight a common enemy.
