Vice President Encourages
Child Welfare Movement
Marshall Declares Conservation of Child Life
Will Prove Important Factor in
Winning the War.

Il am somewhat surprised that 1
have to appear in WashingtC" before
a handful of people and tell them what
/ believe will win the war"
With these words. Thomas r. Mar
shall, Vice President of the United
States, at a meeting in the District
Building called by the womens COM
mittee Of the District Council of De-
fense, started the ball rolling for the
campaign of life saving among pre-
school, children in the District for
the coming year. The Children's Bu-
reau Of the Department of Labor will
foster a national campaign to save
1906 lives of children under he age
of FIVE years during the year beginning
April 6. The District will have PSI lives
to save for its quota.
Winning the War.
Il have been told time and time
again what would win the war" VI
President Marshall stated. Il have
listened to various statements. One
statement was that we would have
to raise an army and send it to France.
While the raising and sending an army
to France is an essential thing to the
winning of this war, it is not the only
necessary thing.
Il have been told that by curtail-
ing my sugar allowances, investing
in War Savings Stamps, contribut-
ing to the Y. NJ. c. A. and so forth,
1 would be helping in the winning
of the war.
But I think that the work on
which you are starting, that of
saving the lives of little children
will really win this war.
The German doctrine is that of
the survivol of the fittest They
are trying to apply this to state
craft. The world eats the lamb,
That is the theory Of the German
government.
Survival of the FIttest.
IF you are here to start saving
the lives of children in America Won
are the ones who have correct
conception of the idea of the sur
vival of the fittest.
1T is not might, nor power, nor
force that constitutes the survival
Of the fittest, but it is love and
peace and kindness which really
constitutes the survival of the fit
tests in this world.
There is also a physiological
idea which must be driven home to
the American people. You may help
to do this. If you can get people
to believe that the thing to be pre-
served in this life is not that which
rides through slaughter to the
throne and shuts the gates OF mercy
on the world. but something which
is attained through peaceful pur-
suits and which is really the only
thing that is worth anything in this
