FOOD STAMP PLAN
APPROVED BY VIA

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. tR-
The War Food Administration to-
day endorsed a food stamp plan
to give low-income families food
at cheaper prices, but only as
supplement to President Roose-
velt's price sterilization program
embracing subsidies to keep re-
tail food costs down.
Assistant War Food Admins
traitor Grover B. Hill told reporters
today that VIA believed it would
be desirable to set up a stamp
program along the general lines
proposed in a bill by Senator All
ken R.-Vt.).
Adoption of such a plan,' Hill
remarked, should not be regard
ed in any way as a substitute for
the administration price stabill-
cation program. We believe it is
clear that the progfam author
lied by this bill would not prevent
increases in food prices. On the
other hand, it would at least part
ly compensate low-income fam
lilies for recent or prospective
price increases.
Earlier. the Senate Agriculture
Committee made public letter
from Hill estimating the cost OF
the program as outlined in the
Aiken bill at $4,000, 100000, year
if all eligible families participant
ed.
Food subsidy programs now In
operation and others contemplate
ed would cost about $1,000, 00O, 900
more.
Hill explained that in making
the $4,000, 100000 estimate the
VIA did not intend to recon-
mend the appropriation of any
specific amount.
Under the stamp plan, eligible
consumers would receive stamps
from the government emitting
purchases of designated foods at
cut rate prices. The government
would redeem the stamps from
food distributors. The plan was
used before the war to encourage
consumption of surplus foods by
low-income groups.
The administration food SUBJ
sidy program, opposed by many
farm state congressman, is de-
signed to hold food prices at lev
els of September, 1912. In cases
where increased production costs
necessitate paying farmers prices
above the September, 1912, level,
the government uses subsidies to
compensate for taose increases
and forestall boosts in consumer
ceiling prices.
The farm bloc is supporting the
Aiken bill as a substitute for the

ers assisted by volunteers trained
in child care. look after the small
fry seeing that the are both happy
and safe. The cost to parents IS
so cents for the afternoon.
Your own organization might pc
able to improve on the New YORK
man 1t would, for instance offer
the service every afternoon and ex-
tend it to enlisted men as well as
to officers.
Such a project is certainly worth
while. Take a look at Private ana
Mrs. Smith, for instance:
He has a few days leave, not
long enough to come home, but
long enough for the couple to meet
in a city which is hallway for both.
Mrs. Smith has to bring Junior,
aged two, because his father
hasn't seen him since he was
baby, and because there is no
body at home to leave him with.
Well. the family is happy in be-
ing united, but the soldier and his
wife would like to do a little sight
seeing and shopping unencumber-
ed by a two-year-old.
LEAVE TO REMEMBER
Your organization, if it decides
to have Park Junior project,
gives that young couple a change
for a few hours of carefree fun
hours they can both remember
after he goes back to camp and
she goes back home.
We try hard to see that the

governments food subsidy pro-
gram. The measure, however,
would prohibit subsidy payments
and Hill, in his letter to the Sen
ate committee, declared this pro-
vision was not in accord with the
presidents sterilization program.
Hill said an analysis of the All
ken bill indicated that families re-
ceiving less than $3.50 a year
would be eligible for food stalnrs.
The number of such families was
estimated at 100000.

Let's outline the problem as it will exist when
the time comes to lower income tax rotes.
The national debt by then will be not less than
$500 900, OOO 600. Interest on that would be at
least 81 500, 900 900 year, and amortization, at

IT, Also we shall spend very heavily to rehoblitote
victims Of this war. The cost Of all this cannot be
foretod inteieentIy now, but $4,000 100000 q
year, for time at least, seems reasonable guess.
We hove learned how easy it is to spend Sc, OOO,-
100000 year for non military government. We
shall find it mighty hard to cut back those admins
trotve costs But let's assume that we do, far as
S. 10000 600 year.
Let's ignore the probability Of substantial relief
and n1odework expenses and stop at this point with
q $40, 600 600, 600 q year budget which, unless we
want to concede that these United Stotes nsoIv-
ent must be financed out Of current income.
Thot is as much as this country ever has roised
up to the current fiscal yeor.
For this year federal receipts from oil sources
are expected to reach So 900 900, OOO That is on
national income estimated in the vicinity Of $780,

But the greatest peocetn1e national income in
