Consumer’s interests placed
in secondary position at
milk hearing, Blumes states

“At the recent B.C. Milk Board hearing held in Peter Pan Ballroom, the basic interest of the
consumer was relegated to a secondary position,” charged Dr.. Joseph Blumes in a statement issued
week. Dr. Blumes, whose two-year campaign for free milk for school
children made him widely known, polled more than 28,000 votes as.a school board candidate in last

to all Vancouver newspapers this

year’s civic elections. .

“It seems to me—as a consumer
who sat through three days of
hearings — that these hearings
merely continued the battle be-
tween the distributors, on the one
hand, and Safeway Stores on the
other,” said Dr. Blumes. He con-
tinued: .

“Safeway Stores, through their
skilled lawyer and witnesses, put
up some strong arguments for de-
control.. But they produced no
clear evidence that a store differ-
ential would solve the overall prob-
lem of decreased milk consump-
tion, particularly among school
children. In fact, Mr. Wells of the
B.C. Federation of Agriculture
pointed out that in Winnipeg,
where they have had a two-cent
store differential for 18 months,
milk consumption has decreased
some four to five percent in the

~ last five months.

_ “In my own brief before the
Milk Board, | pointed out that
the milk industry in B:C. has not

been fulfilling its responsibili-
ties as a public utility. | pointed
out to the board that it should
bring forward recommendations
that will make possible an ade-
quate supply of milk to all sec-
tions of the population and es-

pecially to those who need it
most—the children.

“My proposals were: (1) A gen-
eral decrease of three cents a
quart in the price at which milk
may be retailed; (2) A plan for
free milk in the schools for all
children who need it, with the pro-
vincial government, the local
school boards and the milk indus-
try cooperating to make this pos-
sible. .

“Several statements about the
possibilities of price reduction
were made at the hearings. These
varied from the offer of a one-
cent reduction by the distributors
to the statement by a Safeway
representative that 18-cent milk in
stores might be possible.

“Tt see to me that the ques-
tion of a general price decrease is
not being given sufficient consid-
eration by the Milk Board. The
possibilities brought up at the
hearings indicate that a greater
effort might be made by the milk
industry as a whole to bring about
an overall price decrease. ‘

“At last week’s hearings ! ask-
ed various representatives of
producers and distributors
whether they would favor the
government entering the fluid

milk market to buy quantities of ©

milk for free distribution to
children in the schools. Virtu-
ally every one of them favored
the idea of the government buy-
ing milk though they questioned
where the money would come’
from. The only possible answer
is that if it was possible to pro-
vide money for a milk subsidy
during war years, it should be
possible to do the same today. .

“A plan for free milk in the

schools would combine the idea of.

a subsidy to the milk industry
while at the same time being a
direct measure to increase con-
sumption among children. It was
brought out at the hearings by
Dr. Bartlett, special witness, that
milk consumption in England per
person is very high. This is ach-
ieved in part by free milk in the
schools. Furthermore, the milk
industry in England has:very few
problems mainly due to the fact
that it can dispose of almost all
its milk on the fluid market.

“Only direct action to reduce
the price of milk and provide free
milk in the schools will meet the
needs of both the consumer and
the producer and bring the milk
industry back to the fulfillment o

its responsibility.” f
