VOLUNTARY PARENTHOOD.
Bill Promoting Scientific anG
 Healthful Birth Regulation.

T am strongly inclined to favor it, !" IS what Senator Harding wrote when, as a member of the Senate committee on Public Health, he was consulted about the bill proposed by the Volun- tary Parenthood League. This bill IS 10 remove the legal restriction from the circulation of knowledge as to how tIe birth rate may be regulated.
 The legue reports that majority of the Senate Health Committee agree with Senator Harding i'll this matter. The Senator's attitude is interpreted as additional proof that the sensatoinal- ism of a few years ago about birth controT has now been/replaced by the sober recognition of leading conserva- tives that 1t Is plain common sense to enable each American family to regu- late its growth in relation to health and earrings. It means that fewer babies die, and those who are born have a better chance It Is recognized that 1t not only directly conserves life but that the prompt spreading of this knowledge through the various health agencies of the country will save an enormous amount of the people tax money which now has to be spent for the public care of the handicapped. As the H. C. of L. and taxes are the chief worry of the average citizen at present, it is well worth while to help each fam fly to help itself, at least to the extent of regulating its size.
 While birth control was formerly agitated by rather conspicuous radicals, it now has taken a new lead III the hands of people who object to sensa- ton, but who feel responsible. about public health which is now acknowl-
 ifU social and industrial stability.
 The measure has the support of many we'll known doctors, health authorities, welfare experts, philanthropists and business men.
 This bill which is initiated by the Voluntary Parenthood League which has headquarters at 51 East 5oth street, New York City, is to be introduced at the winter session of Congress.

Profteering

The American people are almost unanimous ln recognizing prohteering as the main cause of the high cost of living. Neither of the parties has pro- posed any remedy except the enforce ment of existing wartime and anti trust legislation with the futile convic- toin of an occasional profteer. But constructive remedies are before the public and have been tested in America and other countries.
 In the case of many important stand ard commodities, such as sugar, the profits of middlemea and speculators can be completely eliminated by 1egis1a- ton authorizing the Government to buy directly from the producer and to sell through regular channels at a price fixed by the Government. In the aggre- gate this remedy alone could take bill lions of dollars annually from the ex- ploiters and restore them to the Amer ican people.
 Profits can also be restored to the public after they have accrued. The excess profit tax proved itself practical during the war in all leading countries It should be radically readjusted to con- form to peace conditions, but not les sc,ed in total volume The vast sums taken from the profteers by this tax may be used to reduce or abolish in- direct taxation on articles of popular consumption, one of the most immedi- at causes of the high cost of living Income and luxury taxes may be used for the same purpose. Legislative ex- perience, as well as the loud complaints of prohteers, show that the tax legisla- ton can be so framed that profteers can neither evade it nor shift the taxes back onto the shoulders of the con- sumner in the form of higher prices.
 These two remedies are indispensa- ble. They should be supplemented by others: Compulsory price-ticketing can show the manufacturers prices of cer- tain articles, while monthly Govern mental bulletins can show the cost of production of food and other standard commodities just as the Federal Farm Board has made easy loans to individual farmers, so that or a similar board should extend governmental credit to all properly organized cooperative

Mexico, Another Acid Test"

Because of its nearness, Mexico as much as Russia, is the "acit test' of the foreign policy of the American Gov ernment. The forces of economic inn perialism demand that the American Government "enforce' its written pro- tests against Mexican disorders, and publicly contemplate the time when Mexico will be brought under the civilizing influence of the American flag" These forces, now to be found i'll every corner of the land, have been showing a growing impatience and lose no occasion for asserting that the time for (, tion has arrived The Republican platdform demands intervention and opens the way to annexation. But cler- ly this is not the position of a large part of the Republican voters; and many candidates may be prevailed upon 10 disavow it.

of the French Socialists took the same position, while a majority in Belgium, Sweden and other countries voted for tall with the expressed belief that the process of revision would begin at once and would be expedited by passing the Treaty-hopes that were not disap- pointed. In joining the League, under her own conditions, America will be giving her support, not to fixed treaty or unalterable covenant, but to a con tinuous process of international recon struction III which she can wie1d a greater power than any other nation. This is the only progressive possibility that lies before us. The alternative spells nothing but obstruction and de- lay.
 Fortunately the League is not as yet partiasn issue; not all Republican candidates for Congress have taken a negative and destructive stand. Those who pledge themselves to an absolute ly uncompromising support of the Treaty with the Lodge reservations or the elimination of Article X-if they are sound on other issues-can rely upon progressive support
