MILK TRUST PROBE
REPORT TOBEMADE
Senate Subcommittee Will
Urge Selling Change
This Week.

Finding that the retail milk market
here is one of the highest priced in
the country. and recommending that
dairy companies readjust selling
methods to place milk and cream in
consumers hands at a fair price, p"
the Senate District Milk Investigating
Subcommittee will submit its report
on the eight-month dairy trust in
quiry to the full District Committee
this week
The report, which Chairman King
said indicated the Justice Department
or Federal Trade Commission should
take cognizance Of the local situation,
finds also that the National Dairy
Products Corporation exercises a
| 'monopolistic influence" over the
Washington milk market.
1t concludes that the large milk
distributor Is the sole beneficiary of
the present marketing system and
that by reason of excessive prices
has been able to amass large and
inordinate profits" Salaries of hold
ing company executives are called
enormous, entirely too high and
NnOlly ullNdIIdIlIeO.
Needs for Readjustment.
The successful readjustment Of
marketing conditions in the city Of
Washington must necessarily be de-
pendent upon the desire of the pro-
ducer of milk to furnish high quail
ty of milk at fair price, upon the
desire of the distributor to market
this milk without the accumulation of
enormous and inordinate profits and
upon the desire of the consumer to
receive high grade and quality of
milk and pay that price for it which
can be said to represent no more than
fair return to the producer and a
fair return to the distributor" the
report declared
Your committee feels that If the
recommendations herein contained
are Immediately put into effect, that
there will be soon effected a readjust-
ment of all marketing difficulties, and
that ultimately conditions will react
to the benefit of the three groups con-
cerned, namely. the producer, the dis
tributor and the consumer"
There is sufficient evidence in the
report that might we'll call for action
on the part of the Justice Depart
ment or the Federal Trade Commits
sion," Senator King observed.
A Nationwide inquiry into the
dairy industry is recommended in the
report on the ground that the monop-
olistic tendencies shown to exist here
are strongly indicated" to exist in
other principal milk markets through
out the country.

TREASURY PLANS
NEW BILLION LOAN
Arrangements Are Made for

Slightly Lower.
BY the Associated Press.

The Treasury quietly is preparing
to borrow another billion dollars
some time this week, the second step
in its task of floating $4,000. 900 900
in securities by the end of June.
Its representatives have been max
ing arrangements in New York for
the coming issue. discussing the pres
ent situation of the money market
and investment field with bankers
there.
President Roosevelt's budget mes
sage disclosed that In the first six
months of this year $4,000. .o00, 900 in
new capital must be found in addi-
ton to refunding $4,000, ,o0o, 900 Of
maturing issues.
Money Rates Lower.
A start was made last month when
the first billion was borrowed, half
of it at ~ per cent for 13la months,
and half at ~ per cent for 7l2
months. Oficials declined today to
forecast what interest would be Of
fered on next weeks issue, but did
point out that money rates are
slightly lower than a month ago.
Just at present the Treasury. Is
sporting a surplus of s793,016,620 due
to the fact that it Jumped in with
its general receipts the profit on its
gold stocks resulting from devalua-
ton of the dollar, which made an
ounce of gold worth $35 instead of
s20.67. The gold profit totalled $2,-
806. .666,361.
When the sterilization fund Is Gre
ated, $2,000,000,000 will be written
of, and the daily statement again will
show a deficit. Secretary Morgenthau
also plans to make q bookkeeping ad-
justment by which none Of the gold
profit will be reflected in a reduction
Of the deficit.
Omcials still expect that the ST.
600, ,000, 900 deficit estimated for the
current fiscal year by President Roose-
welt will be the approximate figure
shown by the books on June 80, and

No Predetermined Conclusions.

No Predetermined Conclusions.
What will result from the expert
ments nobody knows. The great value
of this laboratory study. in the eyes
Of its directors, lies in the very fact
that there are no predetermined con-
clusions. Here is the outstanding diff
ference between this and all previous
social experiments on anything ap-
preaching a similar scale. 1t is not
planned to demonstrate the validity
of any ism" in human affairs.
Here are approximately 1000, 900
men. women and children established
in a given environment. The problem
confronting the idealistic engineer
educator, Arthur E. Morgan. and his
fellow directors, is to determine how
with given human material in given
setting-the average life may achieve
its ultimate of fullness and happiness.
This problem involves, as funda-
mental step, learning all that can be
learned about the people themselves,
the various elements Of the environ
ment. the reactions between the two,
and the laws governing these reac-
tions. There is no idea of creating a
Utopia in the Tennessee Valley on the
formula of some romanticist's prede-
termined concept of Utopia. 1t ap-
pears neither socialistic nor capital
istic in its implications-but natural
istic. What tends to the ultimate
good of one sort of people in one sort
of environment might be ruinous to
another sort Of people in another sort
of environment. The Tennessee VAL
ley provides several kinds of people
and several kinds of environments
1t provides widely differing historical
and social settings. Distinct prob
lens must be worked out for all Of
these. There is a vast gulf between
the small, independent farmers hid
den away from the world in the
mountain coves Of Northwestern
North Carolina, the jobless coal
miners of the Cumberland Plateau.
and the renters" on the great cotton
fields of the Northern Mississippi.
Population Native American.
In some ways the fundamental
problem in this area is greatly SIM
plified over what it would be in any
other comparable region in the United
States. From Grandfather Mountain
in the Blue Ridge of North Carolina
to the pine forests of Alabama the
population Is of a closely similar
ethnic makeup With the exception of
the colored element it is native Ameri-
can and, essentially, Anglo-Saxon.
There is common language combined
with common racial traditions. Not
that these people are any better. or
worse, than the melting pot popula-
tons to the north and east of the
valley, but their basic homogeneity
removes some factors. from the expert
ment which otherwise would be diff
cult to resolve The matter of racial
mixture must be settled elsewhere.
The roots Of q society lie deep in
its history. Here there are some far
reaching differences in the Tennessee
