.Judge cll fliiy: "We arc j?oin( it blindly. No one
knows what it costs to rai.se children. The result is that
thousands arc HiifTcriiiK from slow starvation. The aver
age wage of the majority of men is not enough to sustain
life in children when there is a large family."
Mitt the nation i not going it blindly on hogs, but sci
entifically ami intelligently.
a a a
The committee on industrial relations on rVbruary 5
fciini'lcrl fluif '';")().()()() men. women and children were killed
every year in the United States and '1,700,000 wounded, the
'annual toll oi poverty and its oil spring, prevcnianie
disease."
These figures do not include 100,000 American babies
killed each year by poverty before their first birthday, or
2.50,000 older persons who perish from the same cause.
lu Urookline, ,lanHM where live the rich, babies die at
the rate of 7(5 per 1000. lu Kail Uiver, Mass., where the
textile toilers produce the millions for the leisure classes
of nrookline, babies tlic at the rate of 22!) per 1000. Many
mothers have to work in the factory to eke out a .susten
anceand the death rate of babies whose mothers are
thus employed is 'M) per 1000.
At Kasf Orange, X. .1., where live the well-to-do, the
baby death rate is 78 per 1000. At South Oethlehcm, Pa.,
where the steel workers create wealth to support in idle
ness such communities as IOast Orange, the infant mortal
ity is 2Ii:i per 1000.
" Any such mortality among the hogs of the country
would be the signal for sweeping congressional investiga
tions and appropriations of millions for hogs are a rec
ognized factor in the economic life of the nation and must
not be permitted to die.
Dabics arc not.
a a a e.
A few Americans are killed while exploiting a foreign
land, and it furnishes the occasion of burning patriotic
speeches in congress and appropriations of millions of tho
people's money.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are annually
slain by poverty aud congress is as silent as a clam anil
110 millions are'speiit to attack the common enemy
poverty.
We weep for a few children perishing on the l.iisilania,
but have no teal's for a thousand times as many slain by
our own cupidity every mouth.
We are spending a billion for preparation against a
mythical foreign foe, but not a cent in preparation against
the domestic foe that annually reaps a greater harvest than
the war gods of Europe.
The ceaseless slaughter of peace goes merrily on while
we prepare against the suppositious slaughter of improb
able war, protect the hog and neglect the baby.
a a
The Industrial Uelations Conuijittcc report defines as
the cause of poverty and the nation's uupreparcduess for
peace:
"TIIKSVSTKM UV WHICH TMK KKW AUK IMtO
TK(TIOI) ItV (IOVKKXMKNT IX THK OWXKKK1III'
AND AKIMTUAUY COXTWOI, OF LAND, XATl'UAL
KKSOntCKS AND MACHIXKIfV THAT KlIOl'Ll) HK
A NOrUCKOF IdKK AXI) WKLI.-HK1X(; TO ALL"
If wi I'vnmiiio clokidv o will sec llinf in suite oi' its
autocracy and militarUm these causes of poverty do not
exist in (icnnany. They have been largely abolished in
the scheme that has prepared Oeriuany for war by first
preparing it for peace.
Studying the war. we will also find that l'Vance, after
the outbreak of hostilities, at once prewired for war by
state seixtire of public utilities, natural resources aud ma
chinery and war will leave democratic l'Vance where
autocratic lieriiiauy was before the war prepared for
peace.
Itritaiu has been preparing for war since the war be
gan, by the same process, and insofar as privilege was more
strongly intrenched and the nation was therefore the least
prepared of all belligerents, the preparation has been
tardier- but gradually the exigencies of war are prepar
ing Kngland for peace as well as war.
a a a
The great Icsmui that (icrmany has taught the world is
that true preparedness consists in the abolition oT poverty,
ihe care of Immunity, the protection of the citixcu at home
ami the welfare of the baby.
Until the nation prepares for peace it is money wastetl
to prepare for war. Creating standing armies is no imiii
acea Tor siverty. Protecting hogs at the expense or babies
is KKr prcpni'flUiuis.
a a a
Will it be uccrMiury for the I'lilted Slntc to have a
bloody and i-oMly war in order to learn how to prepare for
ueace?
