Milk Regulation.

The effect of the United States Court
of Appeals decision setting aside the
injunction which outlawed Federal reg
ulation of milk distribution here will
be awaited with keen interest in every
Washington household.
Milk marketing agreements, such as
the one promulgated in 1886 for the
Washington area, have been bones of
contention in many sections. Although
conceived with the best intention of
establishing high health standards and
assuring adequate supply at fair and uni
form prices for all parties concerned
producers. distributors and consumers
they have fallen far short of bringing
those groups into accord.
1t was split in the primary group
involved, the producers, which led to
the injunction upon which the Court
OF Appeals ruled. Twelve independent
Maryland and Virginia producers con-
tended that the marketing pact would
raise the price of milk to the consum-
ers without any appreciable benefits to
themselves. When they obtained their
injunction 1t was impossible to enforce
an agreement which had been ordered
by the Secretary of Agriculture raising
the price paid by Washington dairies
to farmers for milk, so the order was
suspended. But the milk prices were
boosted any way with corollary in
crease of the retail price here to IA
cents a quart. Although the Federal
Government made no further effort to
regulate prices in the Washington milk
shed, the cost to the consumer has never
been reduced.
There has been considerable debate
as to the value Of marketing agreements
as opposed to regulation Of the milk
industry through co-operatives. Many
contend that producers often are harmed
by control Of prices through Govern
ment edict because they come to rely on
such orders and lose familiarity with
marketing conditions, finding themselves
in difficulties when courts throw out
the pacts.
At all events local sentiment prob
ably has not changed appreciably since
the controversial agreement was estab-
lished in 1886. Undoubtedly there still
is considerable division of opinion in this
area regarding the advisibility of Fed
eral price regulation.
1t is only natural that consumers now
will ask whether the increased feed
prices laid to the drought Of 1886 and
other factors which were behind the
original order for price boost to pro-
ducers still exist. The appellate courts
decision will be hailed as at least OPEN
ing the door to such questions and
through them to possible reduction in
retail prices.

ever has seen since first history was
written.
Motor travel is easier because Mr..
Firestone made his name synonymous
with comfort. The rubber tires he built
for uncounted millions Of automobiles
were products in which he could take
decent pride. A merchant as well as a
manufacturer, he had the skill to de-
velop universal market for them. They
became symbol Of an age which, despite
faults which he conceded, is not un-
worthy of its architects. His friends
were Thomas Alva Edison, Henry Ford
and others who believed that progress
can be promoted by the application of
common sense to circumstance. It never
appealed to him to wait for q political
messiah to show mankind how to solve
problems centuries old. Instead, he had
confidence In the capacity of plain people
to govern their own destiny. The VIC
tories he wanted were those which could
be won without compromise with funda-
mental ethics.
Those who knew him best loved him
for his optimism, his willingness to
sacrifice himself to his task, his charity
of judgment toward all classes of his
fellows, his patriotism and his loyalty
to his religion Of hope and confidence.
Strangers admired and respected him
for his record Of achievement and the
generosity which that achievement
rendered possible. Mr.. Firestone goes
to his rest mourned by his country but
assured of the immortality which should
be the lot Of one who earns his fame by
labor socially useful in effect.

Few lobbyists are ~ enthusiastic -
the collectors Of old acoustical phono-
graph records.
Purchasers Of the new electrical re-
cordings buy them for musical content
alone.
The collector Of the older discs, how
ever, doesn't give whoop for tone and
all.
He is after names. the more famous
the better.
Whether the record is marred and
defaced makes little difference to him.
He would prefer the old disc to be
in good shape, Of course, but really 1t
does not matter much.
An almost insane gleam comes into
his eyes as he catches sight of some
old warped record from which the gold
lettering has almost vanished.
The dealer Is glad to get rid of 1t
for 10 cents: but II he were Just bit
shrewder he would hold it and demand
$5-and probably get 1t.
The new phonograph world Of the
moment goes right ahead recording the
musical gems Of all ages and nations.
The work does not interest this hob
byist.
He is interested more in the old
records, of which many millions went
into the discard with the advent OF
radio.
At that time, and for several years
following 1928, people lost interest in
their acoustical monographs and ma
chimes.
Many predicted the end of the talk
ing machine, as it was then popularity
known.
Many remembered the old-fashioned
music boxes, with their notched metal
discs, and how the phonograph had run
the makers OF those machines completely
out OF the market.
They predicted a similar extinction
for the phonograph, but they failed to
reckon with human psychology and in
ventive genius
The new element introduced into the
mechanical-an unfortunate word-mu-
sical world by the radio was merely an
extension Of the element OF the music
hall and the stage
The audience had to take what was
given It.
The phonograph permitted the music
lover to make and play his own pro-
grams.
Years were to pass by before the re-
turn Of the phonograph industry to its
old-time prestige, but all during the
intervening years the psychological fac
tor was very much at work.
Many persons grew tired Of being COM
PEELED to listen to other peoples pro-
grams, no matter how good
When with this was coupled the ever
increasing amount Of "blurb" and "blah"
on the air, the return Of the gramo-
phone was certain.
The remaining makers Of discs shortly
saw that their best plan lay in catering
to persons with plenty of money.
So they began to record entire operas,
symphonies, and chamber music pro-
grams.
1t was soon discovered that many
other persons. with not so much money,
enjoyed the records as much as ever.

tainly Of questionable value.
Thirdly, after many weary years, a
skeleton program for coordination of
recreation has been set up under agree
ment which specifically states that each
agency shall have control Of its own IA
cilities and personnel. The schools have
always maintained ownership of these
Fairgrounds, loaning them to the Play
ground Department for operation. The
transfer, then, does not affect ownership
OF the grounds, but, to the extent that it
transfers funds formerly used by the
Playground Department to employ per-
sonnel for the maintenance. of these
grounds, 1t can be construed as a viola
tion of the coordination agreement.
While the School Board quite properly
thinks it ought to run the activities on
the school Fairgrounds, 1t is hard to
understand why 1t SO quickly indorsed
a plan which might prevent any activity
on many Of the grounds and which
might violate the very clause in the CO.

In a special message, the PreSi-
dent cited the history of the debt
incurred through purchase Of
foodstuffs after the ArmiStice-
and characterized the Hungarian
offer as noteworthy.
AGREEMENT IN 1924
The principal of the Hungarian
debt was 81 ,685, 1851. In April,
1924, an agreement was effected
whereby, with accrued interest,
the total obligation was fixed at
81 1886, 900, to be paid oyer q
period of so years at 3 per cent
interest. In December, 1881, the
Hung government pro-
claimed a transfer moratorium
and payments ceased.
In his message, President Roose-
welt said:
1T has, of course, been the
consistent policy of the United
States to consider each debt in
the light of the circumstances
of the debtor government, and
it is with this in view that the
Hungarian communication is
transmitted to the Congress.
II believe the proposals Of
the Hungarian government
should receive the most careful
consideration of the Congress.
They represent a noteworthy
wish and effort of the Hun
garian government to meet its
obligations to this government.
I'm its simplest terms, the
offer of the Hungarian govern
ment is to repay to the United
States the whole of the relief
loan but without payment Of
any interest thereon"
