Organize Dairy Group.
AS a general proposition 1 am OPP
posed to the formation of blocs in
Congress. The practice leads to log
rolling and has other undesirable fea-
lures. On Monday of last week /
issued a call for meeting of the
from dairy sections
of the country in the hope that we
could work out something that would
be of help to the dairyman who has
had very little assistance from the
several agricultural programs. We
discussed the situation pro and con
and decided that for immediate relief
it would be necessary to make avail
able sum sufficiently large to enable
the Surplus Commodities Corporation
to go into the market and buy up a
sufficient quantity of butter and other
dairy products to bring the market
back to a level where the producer
could at least break even. This plan
worked fairly satisfactorily while it
was in operation but it would have
been much more helpful had all the
surplus butter bought by the govern
ment been distributed to those on
relief instead of storing much of it
as was done.

one to confer with Secretary Wallace
and Mr.. Gaumnitz of the Surplus
Commodities Corporation, who is in
Minnesota as this is written. The
committee hopes to have meeting
with these gentlemen before this let
ter appears in print. The committee
was also instructed to confer with
members of the Senate with view to
having the Agricultural Appropriation
bill, which is now before that body,
provide for sufficient sum to enable
the Surplus Commodities Corporation
to 60 into the open market and buy
up the surplus supply.
A committee on policy was also
named and it is our hope that this
committee will be able to work out
a long range program that will keep
the dairy industry on an even keel.
There is no question but that the
tremendous increase in consumption
of oleomargarine has had very SER
ious effect on dairy prices and the
Policy committee will give very SER
ious consideration to that phase of
the situation. More about this in my
next letter.
Tax Creates Unemployment.
Ever since the Social Security act
became law, many have contended
that workers and employers were
being subjected to an unnecessarily
high payroll tax for old age insur-
ance which, while supposedly being
used to build up reserve that would
eventually aggregate At billions OF
dollars, is in fact being used for cur
rent governmental expenditures. In
the Republican platform of 1886, the
party advocated that the old-age in
surance system be put on a pay-as-
we-go basis, with moderate con-
tingent reserve, which would permit
a lowering of the excessive payroll
taxes during the next several years
and do away with the mythical re-
serve fund of AT billions. Since thai
time, Republican members of Con-

How Toy Plan Will Work.
Here's an outline of how the Dis
trict's new Christmas organization
will work in regard to just one of
many gifts-toys:
Cd The public will give them to
an organization conducting Christ
mas campaign.
ca Campaigners will deliver them
to Co-ordinator of Recreation Lewis
Barrett, who has agreed to run the
city's "toy shop"
go Toys that are slightly dam
aged will go to the w. P. A. toy
Workshop-one of the Government S
contributions to the system. The
force of workers engaged in this Is
to be quadrupled. and it is expected
a larger repair shop than the one
now used, at Sherwood playground,
will be found.
90 Dolls, toy autos, miniature
furniture and the rest will be dis
tributed to public and private agen-
cies in every section OF the city.
There mothers in search of merry
Christmas for their children may
actually shop" as in store. If
Susan wants a nanny doll she
won't have to take a Shirley Temple.
60 Children will wake up Christ
mas morn and find stockings on the
mantle filled.
The last point is the best, the So
cial workers say.
Committee Meets Thursday.
1.-The youngsters may get, suspi-
cious about Santa Claus, but they'll
retain respect for their parents" 1t
| was pointed out. "No child will be
forced to stand in charitable gift
| line"
Cash presents, perhaps more i'm
portant to families in acute need,
also will be distributed in an un-
obtrusive manner to avoid humilia-
ton for the needy, and the num-
ber of children in the family will de-
termine how much that family re-
ceives. The mother thus will be
able to purchase her own Christ
mas dinner, just as she did in bet
ter days, when father was working.
A meeting of those invited to be-
come members of the Co-ordinating
Committee on Christmas Activities
will be held at 4 pm. Thursday at
the Council of Social Agencies head
quarters. These include:
