The General has evinced much interest in the new organiza- tion and his acceptance seems as- sured. The purpose of the organiza- tion is to build a. memorial fitttingly commemorating the services. sacri- fices. and patriotism of American \Var Mothers. The plan is headed by the Veterans of Foreign \"ars, American Legion and fifty other pa.- triotic organizations. The memorial will take the form of building hospitals for the treat- ment of tuberculosis among the ex. service men and their dependents. The building project contemplates a plant of forty-eight units, one for each state. and will be situa'ted somewhere in the west. on a. site se- lected by a. committee of medical experts. Estimated cost is $10,000.- 000. with $25,000,000. to be raised as an endowment fund. Any veter- an, regardless of fraternal affiliations will be eligible ,to receive treatment. as well as members of his family.

The Department of State divides the world into six great division‘s or departments: \\'estcrn Europe. eastern Europe. Near East, Far East. Latin America and Mexico. A chief in the Department of State presides over each bureau, and over all presidcs three Assistant Secre- taries of State on diplomatic and treaty matters. and a director of the consular service on commercial and trade matters and economics. The work of the diplomatic and consular service covers a multitude of subjects. The rights of Ameri- can citizens are looked after in any part of the world: commercial claims are adjusted: trade. and eco~ nomic information is prepared and given to interested parties. and the commerce of the country promoted. A bill is now before Congress to consolidate the diplomatic and con- suhu- bureaus. making the officials interchangeable.

WOMEN VOTERS DEFEND CHILD LABOR BILL Mrs. Herbert K n o 1: Smith Answers Statements Made By Lieut.-Gov. Bingham The Connecticut League of Wom- en Voters has taken note of Lieu~ tonant~Govcrnor Binghnm's opposi— tion to the proposed child labor amendment. and of the resolution unanimously adopted by the State Board of Education Opposing the amendment. Mrs. Herbert Knox Smith. state president of the League, makes the following statement in answer to such opposition: "Tho. purpose of the Amendment is to give. Congress the power to do what was twice shown to be the wish of the people—namely to pro.- vent the industrial exploitation or children. _ “The country as a. whole had pro- gressed to the stage where it had proved uneconomic as well as in- human to employ children under 16 in mines and quarries “and under H in mills. canneries, factories. work- shops and manufacturing establish- ments. Therefore the Congress passed suclf a. low. "The Supreme Court ruled that the Congress did not. have the right to pass such a law. That ruling did not say nor reply that the purpose of the law was unwise nor did it change the need for such a. law. ' “How the same people who wanted the Congress to pass a law prohbit- ing child labor are asking the Con- gress htat by Constitutional Amend— ment it be. given the right to pass pending the election of a national such a. law. “It is futile to crtisize such leg< - below that. ._You’ll appreciate how of thisweek. f face " .

It is strictly interstate. The economic intercdpendencc of the states is so self~evident that. I do not need to stress that point as a reason for federal legislation to deal with child labor. ' “Constitutional Amendments must provide for the years ahead. That is the reason 18 rather than 16 is put, in as an ultimate standard. This limit is permissive only, not. mandatory upon Congress. "Won‘t this be the course of events? 1. The Congress will pass the Child Labor Amendment which will ' pprmlt Congress to pass a federal law establishing an age standard anywhere up to 18 years which I child must reach before He can be employed in certain occupations. Ratification by the states. 3. Then the Congress will estab- lish such standards as will have proven to be economic and humane at that time. "As the two laws which were pan- ed made 16 the age limit for work in mines and quarries and 14 for certain other occupations. we feel assured the standard will not. fall Whether the standard will be raised will depend on cur- rent conditions. “It is not s. Question of voting for' a. bill which will absolutely fix 18 as a. standard now. Voting for the Constitutional Amendment means simply voting for a. principle—— namely federal regulation of child labor. . "The age of 18 is not. being de- cided by this Congress. Congress later. fixes the age limit.
