yEAaNINe FOR BABY IS srIfLEp

London-T cannot afford baby"

the unctuous and sanctimonius talk

may be great and prosperous. This
funny piety and funnicr patriotism
won't feed children, won't keep chill
dren warm, won't keep them healthy,
and educate them and clothe them.
1--WE women Of the rather poor mid
ding class, women who want babies,
women who would love to feel their
little hands clutching at our skirts
and hear the chatter Of tender voices
and little footsteps pattering in and

did facts that mother-love in 1920
is powerless without money; that
money won't stretch as the profiteers
stretch butter and that to bring chill

faction, but a penance, not love, but
a crime.

us health ministry. And the govern
