SPECIAL MILK DEAL
FOR CHILDREN ASKED
City Heads Consider Proposal of
Consumers Council for Direct
Purchases.

The District Commissioners had be-
fore them today q letter from the
washington Consumers Council pro-
posing to remove the children from
the milk battlefield" by q system of
direct purchases from dairy farmers.
Mrs. John Boyle, jr., chairman,
and members of the council asked
the Commissioners to meet with them
to develop plans for pooling the pur-
chasing power of the various child
welfare agencies. hospitals and SINH
lar public and semi-public institutions
to buy milk directly from the farmer"
The councils plan contemplates
avoidance of any hardship to orphan.
ages and other children's agencies in
the event retail milk prices go up.
The Commissioners were told that
under the plan "the farmer would re-
ceive more for his milk and the in
stitutions would pay less"
If, upon examination of the plan,
the Commissioners would give it pub
lie approval" Mrs. Boyle wrote, ut
would facilitate putting 1t into effect"
Evening star., 1936-08-15

advisers realize that when they were
forced to increase wages and shorten
hours, there was one possible way to
Offset the crisis-devaluation.
Communists Powerful.
But here again Blum was the pris-
oner of his political supporters-the
Communists. This powerful group of
IA members of the Chamber hold in
their hand the fate of the govern
ment. And they were as strong against
devaluation when their pet came to
power as they were in favor of deval-
uation when they were in opposition.
AS a matter Of fact, from the Com
munist point of view, the battle
against devaluation is in keeping with
their theories. All the monied peo-
pie in France took out Of the country
all they could realize during the six
months before the victory Of the
French Populaire.
If the franc were devalued today, it
is the poor, those who have saved a
few nickels or have small insurance.
who would be holding the bag. And
since the Communist party in France
is endeavoring to bring into its fold
the small bourgeoise and the small
farmer, 1t cannot advocate another
devaluation Of currency.
And Blum, whose financial advisers
had urged to devaluate soon after he
came to power, was compelled by his
Communist supporters to become a
stanch defender of the gold franc. To
be sure, during the last few weeks
there has been q return of a small
amount of the exported gold to
France. But the amount is negligible
less than 1 per cent of the gold.
The test for the Blum cabinet will
come next October when the treasury
will have to dig deep into the vaults
OF the Banque de France to provide
the necessary sums for the social re-
form Of the administration and for
the increase In the armament expen-
diture.
1t is then that Blum will face the
major battle OF his career; it is then
that his fate will be decided. And
until then, all the would-be premiers

ate wage increases besides the short
ening of working hours. They took
the law unto themselves and in June
declared strikes with occupation of
the premises Blum did not expect
this and gave in. The result has
been in all industries that while the
workers obtained a Is per cent in
crease in wages. the employers had
their production cost increased by
about 35 per cent. OF course, they
were not prepared for such an adj
dition to the production cost. They
passed this increase on to the con-
sumner through the broker and the
retailer, who. in turn, had to ads
an extra percentage to their own
bills. The result has been that al
most every kind of commodity In
France has suffered an increase of
about so per cent over the original
cost of few months ago. And that
is conservative estimate.
The net sequel of this situation is
that while salaries and wages have
increased, employment is by way of
decreasing because many rnanufac-
turers and retailers, unable to make
ends meet, will be forced to Hqui-

prisoner of his own theories and OF a
small group of idealists without much
practical experience, who believe that
theories can be put into practice
merely by good will and honesty. He
talks about his social reforms with
the joy of bridegroom who plans to
furnish for his beloved a nice little
cottage in a desirable suburb.
But when you ask Blum where he
is going to get the thousands of mil
lions for farmers relief, for public
works, for old-age pensions and many
other new deal" reforms, he merely
says that money can be found when
necessary. France has found billions
for ornaments to fill the pockets of
the 1900 families; why could this
government not find billions for con-
structive social work.
The 200 families" had become the
slogan of the French new dealers
back in 1888. The truth is that the
1000 families" have taken care of
themselves. The bulk Of their monies
