A rash Of oratory recently
broke out in the senate led by
Senators Young, Aiken, East
land. and Hatch of New NJ Xlco,
in defense Of the farmer and az
rIcuItural prices and denial that
government or the farmer was
responsible for tn. high consum-
er price Of agricultural products.
! Said Senator Aiken: 1t is my
beIi2f that the present time 4
well organized campaign to pr
judica American consumers d
gainst American farmers IS being
INDUCED in simply for the pun
pose Of diVertjng attention from
the real protiteeIs in the food
and clothing marks IS, the specu-
latCrs and commodity gamblers,
and also to prevent farmers and
working people from knowing
the truth about each other.
Senator Eastland said: IT
seems to be that conspiracy is
being engaged in by the great
industriaIists in this country to
try to lead the American people
to believe that farm prices and
the government support pro-
gram are responsible for the pre-
sent HIGH DriCpc in the United

Sorobtinpists Complete Drive
For Child Guidance Clinic
Bp Frances Kuhn

DR.. Wexberg pointed out that the
opening of the new clinic will relieve
the burden of the clinic at the Force
School, which, until now. has pro-
vided the only service of its kind in
the District. This clinic, established
in June, 1916, has had waiting list
Of from so to so children which
means that many patients in need
.of immediate treatment are forced
to wait as long as three months.
Mental hygiene must be sold to
the people" DR.. Wexberg said, par
ticularly in areas where they have
little time to educate themselves on
it's Importance" He expects the
clinic to widen its activities as
more and more people realize the
values to be gained by its use.
DR.. De Saussure, in thanking the
club for the gift, said the need for
the clinic was so urgent that 1t was
opened on November 26, as soon as
the necessary funds were assured.
He stressed the fact that IN many
cases. it will be necessary to re-
adjust the entire family In order to
help the individual child. The clinic
cannot successfully treat child II
the basic cause of its maladjust-
ment remains unchanged, he ex-
planned.
The drive was under the leader
ship of Miss Rae Epstein, chairman
of the civics committee OF the
Soroptimist Club.
