0nly The Evening Post
" Is Skeptical

VI all American newspapers only one
looks with suspicion upon these revela-
tions Of the Committee on Public In
formation. After a careful analysis Of
the first series of documents released
by the Creel bureau, "The New York
Evening Post" points out certain dis
crepances in dates and occasional con-
f1icting assertions which lead that news
paper to comment:
"The general tone of the documents IS a
strain upon credulity. The orders and in
structions and demands and responses have
the directness of thieves kitchen; it is
not the way in which government conspira
cies are couched. Mr.. Creel owes it TO the
country to do his best to find out whether
we really face to face with the most
extraordinary cabal in history or whether
Mr.. Sisson is the victim of a gigantic hoax
"Mr. Creel is confronted by simple and
immediate duty. He should supply the
newspapers with facsimile reproductions of
the documents that Mr.. Sisson brought with
him from Europe and which, in the Eng
lish translation, have been given to the
press We do no. ask for this because we
think the material as given out by the
Committee on Public Information does not
correctly represent the originals, but be-
cause we believe that the documents them
selves are far from being above suspicion,
and should therefore in their exact form
be subjected to as wide a scrutiny as pos
sible. In the material as printed yesterday
and to-day there is plenty of ground for
doubt. 1t may be that the publication Of
the Russian or German facsimies will sup
ply other evidence. The plain fact is that
some of the most important charges and
documents brought forward by Mr. Sisson
we're published in Paris months ago and
have, on the whole, been discredited Mr..
Sisson remarks Of Document 2. printed in
the Petit Parisien,' that sthe Petrograd
Bolshcvist papers proclaimed it a false
hood He does not tell US what new rea-
sons there are for believing in the authen-
ticty of Document ? in view of the very
solid arguments that we're made against it"
''The New York World" dslikes "The
Evening Posts" incredulity and is
panied that ''there are Americans who
question the genuineness" of the docu-
ments. To this "The Evening Post" re-
plies:
Americans can freely raise questions be-
the Sisson documents are not neces-
sary to prove what we all know: that the

evident that in practically every state of

ever before. In Massachusetts the number
of working children between fourteen and
sixteen years has more than doubled since

AT the present time a grave shortage of

age is now upward of one million men.
The only way in which this shortage can
be filled is by wholesale transfers of men

Since the draft bill has passed Con-
gress boys of eighteen will henceforth be
subject to military service This fact does
not make it any more important than be-
fore that young boys should be freed from
early employment and given chance for
proper physical development and education,
but it gives point to the necessity for their
protection and education. Children who
have spent the years from fourteen to six
teen working in q cotton mill for eleven
hours daily will be neither as intelligent
nor as strong as those who have spent the
time in school and in healthful recreation
These are few of the reasons that have
Ieu TO tne lntrOQucClOn or the Heating bill
in Congress.
The War Labor Policies Board has ex
cluded child labor from all government
work, ruling that in future contracts made
by the Federal government "the contractor
shall not directly or indirectly employ in
the performance of this contract any minor
under the age of fourteen years, or permit
any minor between the age of fourteen and
sixteen to work more than eight hours in
any one day, more than six days in any one
week, or before a. M or after D. m"
The Reating bill, if passed, will supple
ment this clause. forbidding child labor un-
der the above standards not only in gov
ernment work, but in all factory work, and
in mines and quarries throughout the coun-
try. Its enforcement will also be in the
hands of the Child Labor Division. It re-
establishes the standards of the first Fed
eral law by direct prohibition by Congress.
There is no doubt of the authority of Con-
gress to do this under the war power 1t
will establish a minimum standard for all
