FAVORABLE EDITORIAL COMMENT, WEEK OF FEBRUARY 6 TO 13-Continued

UNFAVORABLE EDITORIAL COMMENT WEEK OF FEBRUARY 6 TO 13

Cincinnati (Ohio) Enquirer (letter to the editor).

Louisville (Ky.) Times (Representative Murray and Cow).

Mr. GILLIE. I ask unanimous consent to place in the record certain statements and letters that I have received from organizations and individuals for and against the bills which are pending before the committee.

Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. Chairman, I make the same request.
The CHAIRMAN. Without objection, that will be done.

(The statements and letters referred to are as follows:) INDIANA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL_Center,

Hon. GEORGE W. GILLIE,

DIETARY DEPARTMENT,

Indianapolis 7, Ind., February 23, 1948.

House of Representatives, Washington, D. C.

DEAR MR. GILLIE: The Indiana Dietetic Association would like you to know that we support bill H. R. 5681 (Representative Mitchell's bill pertaining to margarine). We feel that passage of this bill will help promote better nutrition among our people, especially the lower income groups. Also that any discriminatory tax on food is unfair and should be repealed.

We hope that bill H. R. 5681 will receive your favorable vote.

Sincerely yours,

RUTH M. YAKEL,

Legislative Chairman, Indiana Dietetic Association.

Hon. GEORGE W. GILLIE,

INDIANA FARM BUREAU, INC., Indianapolis 4, Ind., March 11, 1948.

House Office Building, Washington, D. C.

DEAR CONGRESSMAN: We are writing in reference to hearings, now being held, on the repeal of the oleomargarine color tax.

Many press releases featuring the so-called unfairness of a tax on colored oleomargarine have been featured by many newspapers. This well-organized campaign, by the oleomargarine people, has aroused many club women. We wish to point out that there is certainly no guaranty that any savings made by the oleomargarine industry, in a tax repeal, will be passed on to the consumer. Certainly, if the color tax is repealed, the white or uncolored product will practically disappear from the market. When this happens, it is only reasonable to assume that oleomargarine can and would be priced only enough under legitimate butter to give it a price appeal. This action would certainly defeat the main money-saving clause which has been the core of all the tax-repeal arguments.

Another thing we would like to call to your attention, is that soybean growers have been told that oleomargarine (tax-free) would be a great outlet for their product. We would like to point out here that soybean oil is much more expensive than coconut oil and various other imported oils. With the war's end and foreign shipping getting back toward normal, great stocks of these cheaper foreign oils will again be available for the making of oleomargarine. To think of distinguishing between foreign and domestic oils, would involve an inspecting and policing problem, that is impracticable. We feel that the soybean interests are simply being enlisted to help put over a tax repeal on a product that will really do them no financial good whatsoever. In fact, financial harm could very easily develop to the soybean grower in partial loss of soybean meal used in dairy feeding, by the curtailment of many dairy herds by loss of part of the butter market. We wish to conclude by stating that we are not opposed to oleomargarine, when sold as oleomargarine. We do oppose any sale of oleomargarine on the reputation of butter. We feel that a standard color for oleomargarine is a good step for that industry, as long as it is not the standard color, already adopted by another commodity on the market, which is butter.

The butter industry adopted the natural color of their product which during the lush grass season is yellow. To make it uniform the year around, coloring is added, at certain other seasons, to maintain this same yellow. Should the oleomargarine people use a standard color, definitely not the color of butter, then there should be no criticism from the dairy interests.

This letter expresses the unanimous opinion of the board of directors of the Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc. On this board are both dairy men and soybean

growers.

Very truly yours,

HASSIL E. SCHENCK, President, Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc.
