Wage, Profits
Ceiling Urged
IoCurb Prices
Foreign Policy Unit
Says Top Limit
Is Necessity
BY the Associated Press.


The Foreign Policy Association
said yesterday that the imposition
of ceiling on prices requires a
similar limit on wages and profits.
In study of defense economy
in the United States, the private
research organization said the Gov
ernment was striving Ito control
prices for consumers goods, but its
efforts are unlikely to succeed if con-
sumner income derived from wages
and business continues to rise"
The defense program, the report
contended. should not be consid-
cred simply in the light of oppor-
tunities for higher profits and wages.
The country is now entering a stage
in its preparations in which an
increase in the output of war ma
terlals can be achieved only at the
expense of civilian production"
Wants Policies Defined.
The report also asserted that the
solution of the labor problem in re-
lation to the defense program may
prove impossible unless the Govern
ment clearly defines its policies re-
lating to wages, hours, the closed
shop. profits and similar questions"
Both labor and management, the
report said, must be brought to a
full realization of the stakes in this
war"
OF proposals to curb strikes by
legislation, the association said:
Industrial peace is likely to be more
solid and permanent if obtained
through voluntary cooperation of
labor and management"
Although the report discounted
some criticisms directed at the Ma
tional Defense Mediation Board. the
association said the agency has in
practice confused mediation and
arbitration"
Compulsory Arbitration.
Its recommendations in many
cases constitute compulsory arbi-
tration, particularly since they may
be enforced by Government seizure
OF the strike-bound plant" the as
sociation said. 1t added that it was
difficult for parties in a labor dispute
to be completely frank with media
tors who may later pronounce an
arbitral judgment"
Coincidentally, the National La
Dor Relations Board announced a
change in procedure which it said
would expedite consideration of
cases by eliminating an average

Free Milk for Needy Children why or Why Not?

Milk provides Washington with
its foremost social paradox. All
the needy school children in the
city probably would receive free
milk during the coming school
year if it were not for one fact
Washington has provided some
needy school children with free
milk in the past.
The past free programs were
run by the city and financed
from funds appropriated for the
District, which could afford to
provide milk for only a portion
Of the school children.
Now the Federal Government
has entered the school-milk pic
ture with a type of program de-
signed to make available to every
needy school child free milk, or
milk for no more than a penny
a glass.
For three months the question
has been debated whether the
District will benefit from the
Federal program. If the city had
never had program, the answer
might be yes. But because
Washington has been a pioneer
in providing children with milk,
the answer is not yet forth
coming. 1t is still a question.
Spent 5000 Last Year.
Briefly, the reasons why there
is doubt whether the District will
share in the Federal program are
these;
The District last school year
spent $4,000 in buying 100000
halt-pints of milk for distribution
to the needy school children.
The Federal program aims at
assisting the farmer who pro-
duceS the milk. the child who
drinks the milk and the city
whose school system distributes
the milk.
The substitution of a Federal
program here for the existing
municipal school-milk program
would injure the farmer by low
ering his income.
Furthermore, the District con-
sumer has an interest in the mat
ter. because the milk surplus in
the Washington shed is so low
that any considerable diversion
of fluid milk away from the nor
NAL market conceivablv could
but probably wouldn't-eliminate
the surplus altogether.
The farmer producing :lilk for
Washington has now all the mar
ket he needs. Indeed, he is tx
horted constantly to MAKE every
effort to increase his output for
the normal-aS opposed to the
rellef-conSumer.
Farmers Side of Matter.
On a simple dollars and cents
basis, this is the farmers side
of the matter:
According to the terms of the
marketing order for the WASH
ton milkShed. the farmers must
accept low price for milk Gcs-
tined for distribution under a
Federal program to low-income
consumers.
The milk which enters the Dis
trict's school-milk programeis
sold by the farmers to the dairfes
at the standard price for what is
known as class / milk, now, now
S3.57 a hundredweight tS3.17 a
hundredweight before the milk
order was amended week ago..
The milk in a Federal low
cost program for the District is
sold by the farmers to the pro-
ducers for s2395 a hundred
