S. Depart ment of Agriculture, and squeezed in time for some sightseeing in and around the Nation’s Capital. Bill Walker, the national coordinator for the event, described the goals of the new group. He told the women that the farmer consumer alliance “Is working to establish a comprehensive farm and food policy; to put America back to work; and to allocate scarce resources and credit to productive uses.” To begin with, Walker said, the Alliance is asking as many farmer and con sumer groups as possible to pass a resolution calling for a national food policy to: “ . . . protect our food supply by stabilizing farm prices through food reserves and reasonable maximum and minimum parity guarantees, keeping our nation’s farmers in production and resulting in protection for the consuming public by avoiding un necessary and severe supply and price fluctuations.” Helen Kramer of the United Auto Workers union, which is a co-founder of the new Alliance with Farmers Union, told the women that Lasso Phis atrazlne.

She noted that unemployed wage-earners cut back on food purchases which reduces the demand for farm products. A call to the Farmers Union women to participate more actively in In ternational Women’s Year was made by economist Mary Dublin Keyserling. She emphasized that the views of farm women were not being represented in the various commissions on the status of women. Farm women, she said, must become more involved in efforts to im prove health, education, housing, and other social needs in rural areas.
