Opinion In Child Law.

Attorney General Brown sent to the
Department of Labor and Industry his
formal opinion on the ruling that en-
ployment certificates now held by
minors shall be valid until the holders
are sixteen years old.
Mr. Brown says that the law should
not be construed so as to produce a re-
suit to the injury and disadvantage OF
those whom It was intended to benefit.
"The true legislative intent" says he,
was not to bring about sudden chaos
in the lives of these children and their
parents, and 1t is unwise to apply the
law so as to produce such an undesir-
able condition" In closing, he says
the situation calls for "the application
of a broad, administrative discretion"
and that minors holding the certlti-
Gates referred to "are subject to all
other provisions of the Act OF 1915,
such as the compulsory attendance at
continuation schools and the prohibit
ton of employment Of more than fifty
one hours per week, including school
attendance"

PRESIDENT WOULD
ARM FOR PEACE
Declares for Preparedness
Against Invasion of Country.
ASKS COUNTRYs SUPPORT
President Strongly Condemns Wall
From Men Protesting To Be
Americans, But Who Love
other Countries Better.

New York.-Presiden Wilson open
ed the Administration campaign for
its national defense program in com
prehensive and carefully prepared ad
dress delivered here at the Manhattan
Club banquet.
He declared solemnly that the
United States had no aggressive pur
poses, but must be prepared to defend
itself, to assume full liberty and self
development" Significantly, he said,
with ourselves in this great matter
we associate all the peoples of our
own hemisphere" adding that 1--WE
wish not only for the United States
but for them the fullest freedom of
Independent growth and action"
within year." said the President,
I'VE have witnessed what we did not
think possible, a great European con-
flict involving many of the greatest ma
tions of the world The influences of
the great war are everywhere in the
air. All Europe is in battle. Force
everywhere speaks out with loud and
imperious voice in a titanic struggle of
government and from one end of our
own dear country to the other men are
asking one another what our own force
is, how far we are prepared to main
tain ourselves against any interference
with our national action or develop
ment."
The President called upon "men OF
all shades of political opinion" to rally
to the support of the program. He
said it represented "the best profes-
sional and expert opinion of the coun-
try" and gave warning that "if men
differ with me in this vital matter |
shall ask them to make 1t clear how
far and in what way they. are inter
ested in making the permanent inter
ests of the country safe against dis
turbance."
There is no need for the country to
feel panic-stricken, the President de-
Clared, because it stands in friendly
relations with the world. He spoke of
the United States as "a nation too big
and generous to be exacting, but yet
courageous enough to defend its
rights and the liberties of its people
wherever assailed or involved"
In addition to speaking on national
defense, the President attacked "men
who love other countries better than
America" and men who stir up relig-
ious and sectarian antagonism. He
declared that such men should be
"called to a reckoning"
Just before the dinner the President
shook hands with all the guests.
