Pensions for Mothers
THE NATION has recently been shocked by disclosure of many
deaths at a certain baby farm. Two possible plans to avoid
future occurrences of this nature are advanced by Katheiine T.
Lenroot. assistant chief of the United States Children s buieau.
One is the passage of state laws requiring that infant boarding
homes be licensed by a public welfare board. The other is the
mothers' pension.
Pennsylvania has just passed a law requiring licensing ol
baby homes and approval by health authorities. 1 he law also
provides for registration of all dependent children. A number oi
states have such a law.
Miss Lenroot however favors the mothers' pension plan.
She points out that the fundamental principle in child weltare
is the assurance of a mother's care and home life. Accordingly
the Children's bureau is taking the lead in encouraging the pass-
age by states of mothers' pension laws.
Miss Emma Lundburg director of the social service division
of the Children's bureau who has made an extensive study of the
problem of the dependent child says:
“It is far better to prevent the break-up of homes through
mothers’ pensions and constructive welfare measures than to
build institutions for the care of children for whom home life
might have been saved.
“A growing number of people have come to believe in foster
home care as approximating most closely the conditions of normal
family life and as offering better opportunities for individual up-
bringing than is possible in institutions."
rorty-two oi tne states now nave motners pension laws
and while some are more liberal than others all are based on the
plan of state aid in the home in place of separating mothers and
children and putting the latter in institutions. But in spite of
what has been done there remain about 200000 children in the
United States in institutions and boarding homes. About 130000
are being supported by the state in their own homes.
The problem of the illegitimate babies is greater than that
of those born in wedlock for they are not provided for in moth-
ers’ pension laws. The Children’s bureau however finds that
the Maryland “six months law” is getting good results. This law
provides that except under unusual conditions a mother and
baby must not be separated during the first six months of the
child's life. _It is s$icf that the law makes it impossible for in-
fant farms to flourish and has resulted in a reduction of infant
mortality.
Whether or not state constitutions so provide it surely is the
duty of some political division—state county or municipal—to
look to the welfare of it^ future citizens. This means assistance
of some kind to the mother who is unable to care for her child
whether the child is born in wedlock or out of it. The health and
well-being of the young is more important than many of the ac-
tivities of political divisions upon which so much money is lav-
ished and it is gratifying to note that most of the states have
recognized this and are doing something.
Germany Opposes Poison Gas in Warfare
GERMANY was the first to use poison gas in warfare and now
she is willing to outlaw it. The desire of Germany to do
this was announced at Geneva the other day by Herr Von Eck-
hardt at a meeting of the military and naval committee of the
international conference for control of traffic in arms which is
considering the American proposal for insertion in the proposed
convention of a clause prohibiting the use of poison gas. Said
the German representative:
“Germany is solemnly desirous of eleminating use of chemi-
cals in warfare and will join an international conference for that
purpose.*’
It is a straightforward statement bearing the stamp of sin-
cerity but there are those who will regard it merely as a gesture
saying that Germany just now is desirous of appearing in a favor-
able light.
It was favorably received by the committee however and it
was decided to study the advisability of calling a special chemical
warfare conference.
Perhaps Germany is insincere; perhaps under similar circum-
stances she would again disregard all international laws and agree-
ments. Yet it must not be lost sight of that the Germany of
today is not the Germany of the kaiser regime. It is doubtful
if she drearer the dreams of Wilhelm—of a conquered world bow-
ing to her. She may be planning commercial supremacy but
there is little evidence that she hopes ever to rule by military
force. More likely she is anxious to avoid armed conflict and to
be left to w^rk out her fate by peaceful pursuits. One war is
enough for her particularly since she lost.
It is gratifying indeed to see Germany falling in line with
the suggestion ol the United States. It should encourage the
other nations to join in a mutual agreement to outlaw chemical
warfare and thus do away with at least one fiendish invention of
war. And if there can be agreement on that score why not on
others until at last we have outlawed all destructive forces?
Tom Sims Says
Scientists say the earth is an accident. So don't kick. They
are bound to happen.
White Plains (N. Y.) girl stole to send her lover to college. If
he doesn’t want her we do.
Airplane hit a motorcycle in Cudahy Wis. If it had to hit
something it used judgment.
A jail is a place where surplus citizens are kept.
They say the poor may be happy. We say the happy are not
poor.
Very few women can cuss. They won t listen to their hus-
bands long enough to learn.

WASHINGTON®^
LETTER r^S2
By CHARLES P. STKWAKT
WASHINGTON.—The presidential job
often is referred to as a mankiller. The
rice presidency generally is considered
something of a sinecure.
It seems to have occurred to nobody
that with Thomas R. Marshall’s death;
the country has as many living ex-
presidents—that is to say one of each
lespectively Chief Justice Taft and
President Coolidge.
This gives rise to the s either
that the vice presidency i „ be more
wearing than was popularly supposed or
that some deadly quality other than the
work involved lurks in both the chief
magistracy and1 its understudy’s post.
The fact is^-though wc have had what
we called young presidents and vice
presidents they were young only for
the high offices they held. After a ‘
term or two most of them were pietty
well on in this life and not far from
cue getting off place into the next.
» * *
Ex-Vice President Marshall was one
of the most popular statesman Wash-
ington ever has known. He never took
himself too seriously. Affable and easy
of approach his circle of friends was
enormous.
His humor—antiseptic hut healing—
was delightful. His oft-quoted remark
during the post-war reconstruction pe- I
riod with everybody telling what the
country needed “It needs a good 5-
cent cigar.” was typical o-f him.
Frivolous as it fell on the ear it
was packed with meaning on analysis
a meaning the man in the street coula
understand.
Marshall wasn’t the type of politician
to wait until he knew “how the wind
blew” before making up his mind. He
made it up in advance and regardless
of the win. and revealed it with a
frankness which horrified his party’s
more cautiously inclined.
He never broke himself of this habit.
He never tried.
* * *
If there must be anti-foreign out-
breaks in China the state department
hopes for them' like this last one at
sucli places as Shanghai.
Peking is inland. Surrounded! there
by Boxers the foreigners were almost
overwhelmed before relief cut its way
through.
Shanghai is only a few miles from
the sea on a big river. In it several
warships always lie their guns ready
Helped by a few landing parties the
M settlement's” volunteer# could stand
off enormous odds.
At worst everybody couljd be taken
off. Property loss is imaginable; net
a massacre.
• * •
A prolonged boycott would be worse.
Foreign Shanghai depends absolutely on
Chinese labor industrial and domestic
common and skilled manual and cleri-
cal. Equally it depends on the “hint-
erland” for supplies.
Cut off it would be paralyzed. Japan
experienced a Chinese boycott a few
years ago. There was e dispute.
“YVe can lick you” warned the Jap-
anese. “True” the Chinese agreed.
“YY’e won’t fight. Neithcft will be trade
wijh you.”
Nor would they. Japan forced some
small transactions on a few communi-
ties but they amounted to nothing.
Her trade fallen flat Japan had to
make terms.
* * *
Chinese resentment at foreign domi-
nation in the “treaty ports” like Shan-
ghai is natural. On Chinese soil the
foreigners have their own cities under
their own governments; their own courts
and their own laws under which Chin-
ese are punished—often unjustly they
consider.
In their own country the Chinese are
treated—or ill-treated—as an inferior
people. Resisting in human commercial
exploitation as in this most recent in-
stance. they are shot down in their own
streets by foreign policemen. Jft
“Bolsheviki! ” cries the Shanghai
eign press. No wonder the Chines^^^B
don’t like it.
