II IS a distinguishing paradox
of the milk business that
although no human hands
come in contact with its
product, "1abOr" is the larg-
est single item of expense ex-
cepting only milk itself.
1t is a noteworthy fact that
this business, ultra modern
in its use of mechanisms and
scientific apparatus for the
handling and processing Of
the raw material, provides
work for thousands Of men
and women.
The men who unload at the
country and city plants, the
drivers of the trucks, the
chemists who test the prod
uct, the men who operate the
pasteurizing machines, bot
ting machines, washing and
sterilizing machines, the de-
livery statesmen, the Office
and supervisory stats :
all are necessary to make the
milk business sanitary, serv-
iceable, and economical.
This lively accent on the human
equation invites revision Of
any belief that the corporate
milkman can be soulless.
AS a matter of fact, the men
and women represented in
the composite individualism
Of this company are good
Americans, good citizens,
good neighbOrs-the sort of
folks who count-and who
are always cOunted-in any
inventory of community re-
sources.

HOOVER PERSISTS
IN SILENCE ON So
Speculation Flares High in
Response to Attack
on New Deal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-
Speculation which began to buzz
month ago, when former President
Hoover broke a long silence to urge
immediate stabilization of the dollar
and return to the gold standard, flared
high today at his outspoken attack on
administration policies made in mes
sage to the California Republican AS
sembly at Sacramento.
1t was pointed out that Mr. Hoover's
direct mention of "the administra-
ton" as target of criticism was the
first he has made since he left the
White House.
Although the talk here quickly
jumped to the 1886 presidential cam
paign, the former Chief Executives
silence on the point was as firm today
as it has been for two years about his
personal plans or ambitions.
More Concerned for Policies.
The impression was obtained from
sources close to Mr. Hoover, however,
that for the present. at least, he is
far more concerned over policies than
presidencies.
His intimates describe him as feel
ing not only qualified, but even obli-
gated, through his unique position and
experience to speak his protest against
Government practices he considers un-
American, even dangerous, regardless
of whether his views are derided or
acclaimed by the majority.
They point to his painstaking prep
aration of the masses of material for
his book, The Challenge to Liberty"
and quote William Allen Whites char
acterization of it as mot a political
bid for power or restored prestige but
an honest mans patriotic protest
against short cuts TO economic Sc
curity."

party.
