League 01’ Voters
Renewal of the appropriation for
the Maternity and infancy (Shep-
pard-’l'owncr) Act heads the lint of
measures on the legislative program
to be stressed by the National
League of Women Voters in the ini-
pending session of Congress. it was
announced today.
The League's stand on the .six
measures specified for the active
legislative program is set forth in
the following statement issued by
the Executive Committee:
”Renewal of the appropriation for
the Maternity , and infancy Act
heads the legislative program. The
measure has already passed the
House and is on the calendar of the
Senate. It is important that action be
taken promptly in order that state
legislatures meeting in January may
be assured of continued federal aid
in carrying on the wqu after the.
appropriations originally authorized
expire in July, 1927. Although the
Act has been in operation less than
five years. substantial progr.-ss in
reducing the infant death rate is al-
ready nppari-nt. and the Marathon:
results of the law as reported from
various parts of the country amply
Justify a renewal of tho appropria-
tion. Moreover. unless renewed. the
foundation work which has Just been
laid in many states would be large.
iy wasted. Approximately 10,000
fewer babies under one year of age
die annually now than at the time
the Act was passed in 1921. Con-id.
erntlon of human welfare and pub-
lic economy alike point to the need
of continued appropriations.
"Next on the program is the
Cramton bill which would place 60
per cent of employees of the Pro-
hibition Unit. now exempt tram clv.
ll service regulations. on the classi-
fied civil service list. This bill is in
line with the. League's icy of
support of tho. merit cysts in pub-
lic employment.
“The League is committed to the
policy of international cooperation
in the settlement of disputes be-
tween nations and therefore reaf-
firms lts support of the entry of the
United States into the World Court.
With regard to Senate Reservation
Five, we are convinced that a basis
for unity of action among the. gov-
ernments concerned can and will be
found."
