Sacrificing The Babies

In the midst of the campaign for
preparedness" the United States has
been invaded by worse enemies than
any feared by the advocates of big
armies and navies. These enemies are
the diseases resulting from overcrowd-
ing in the cities>4 Ats present there is
an epidemic of infantile paralysis. Be-
ginning in the slum districts of New
York City. it has swiftly extended to
many other important points and
threatens to overrun the nation. Com
pared with this enemy a hostile foreign
army would appear as friendly
visitor.
Infantile paralysis is but one of a
host of terrible enemies against which
armies and navies offer no protection.
Though opinions differ as to its exact
cause, it is known to appear first in
poor districts amidst unsanitary sur
rcundings. Then having gained foot
hold it spreads among the well-to-do
and rich. It is>one of natures penal
ties for economic injustice.
The laws of New York State empow-
er a privileged few to appropriate the
