NEW YORK MILK COMMITTEE 149 



MR. CAMPBELL: There are some good things in the resolution, 

 but the words in which you recommend that a certain portion of the 

 milk that is produced be not used for drinking purposes, it seems 

 to me, would deprive about nine-tenths of the population from 

 getting a drink of milk. 



THE CHAIRMAN: I don't think you understood this correctly. 



MR. CAMPBELL: Possibly I have not. 



THE CHAIRMAN: It is for babies; not for the mass of the 

 people. 



MR. CAMPBELL: I understood that it read that the supply of 

 milk outside of certified milk, be recommended as unfit for drinking 

 purposes. 



THE CHAIRMAN: No, the certified milk and the inspected milk 

 which was pasteurized those two will be safe. 



MR. CAMPBELL: It is all right, then. 



MR. WHITAKER: Mr. President, doesn't that, in a way, conflict 

 with a resolution that has been already adopted? The resolution 

 calls first, for milk of tuberculin tested herds, produced under 

 conditions which meet with the approval of the highest authority. 

 That is very strong language. Certified milk is strictly a medical 

 proposition. This resolution does not allow for what we have 

 already countenanced as inspected milk. 



THE CHAIRMAN: As I understand it, this really is following 

 out what Mr. Campbell asked for. We cannot have all the herds 

 of New York State tuberculin tested. It is impossible to hope 

 for that. During that time, we will have clean milk from physi- 

 cally tested herds, which will be safeguarded by pasteurization. 



MR. WHITAKER: Isn't that ground covered sufficiently in the 

 resolution already adopted? 



THE CHAIRMAN: It allows them to use, for infant feeding, milk 

 which does not come under the two higher standards, if it is 

 decent milk and pasteurized. 



MR. CAMPBELL: It does seem to me, Mr. Chairman, that these 

 matters are geting mixed. The United States Government, as we 

 have just heard here, has fixed upon three grades of milk: certified, 

 inspected and pasteurized. Please do not give us too many. We 

 want to get clean milk, and it seems to me there can be but two 

 kinds, clean milk and milk that is not clean. 



THE CHAIRMAN: Of course, we are up against a fact. We 

 have one per cent of certified milk. We have about one per cent 

 of inspected milk. We have ninety-eight per cent of milk which is 

 not certified or inspected, of which much is consumed by infants. 

 Now, this is to safeguard the better part of the dairy milk, until 

 we can get more of it. The idea of this is, if we believe in it,
