It has been pain ful to The Journal to attack the milk supply, because the policy of the paper, is first and always to up build and noto tear down. It has ' been painful also to be sneered at and slurred by those who have op ' posed, the paper's efforts and the ef forts of the authorities for "ijetter conditions. The Journal has been condemned, has been ridiculed, has . been called sensational because of its efforts to secure better condi tlons for the excellent, and deserving people of Portland. Other newspa- pers and a certain public official e have not only refused to aid, but have openly opposed the movement for a better milk supply and a meas ure of protection for Portland ' homes. As answer to the sneers and slurs it has endured The Journal points to the statements of Dr. McClure as Justification for all and a hundred ; times? more than the effort It has made, and tot the efforts a number of devoted officials, organizations and representative Portland women have made. The city hall oonfer- ence, called at the suggestion of & .. United States official whose lnves - tlgations have astonished even him, recognized the gravity of the situa tion, and at the suggestion of Mayor Simon, appointed a committee of fire with plenary powers for formu , latlng plans of action, including rec . ommendatlons for legislation if nec eseary. Dr. McClure's announce- ment that if no action be taken; 70 - or 75 per cent of the dairy cows sup plying milk to . Portland consumers will become tuberculous within five years, was one of the factors that caused the appointment of this committee of five, which In point of fact Is little else than a committee of public safety. It Is to such rea sons as the foregoing that The Jour nal points as warrant for the space, expense, time and trouble It has de voted to the -milk cause for many weeks past coarsely woven homespuns.
