THE NEW MATERNITY LAW

The new maternity law, signed by
the President on the day before
Thanksgiving is to be administered
by the Children's Bureau of the L.
S. Department of Labor. The Board
of Maternity and Infant Hygiene
consists of the Chief of the Children's
Bureau, the Surgeon General of the
U. S. Public Health Service, and the
U. S. Commissioner of Education. A
total appropriation of $1,4S0,000 is
authorized for the current fiscal year,
and an appropriation of s1,240,000 for
each of the five years thereafter,
What is not used for administrative
purposes will be divided among the
states accepting the provisions of the
act.
States that have already accepted
are Delaware. Minnesota. New
Hampshire, New Mexico, Penpsylva-
MIA and South Dakota. More than 80
states have child welfare or child
hygiene divisions in their state
boards of health. Any state desiring
to benefit from the new law is re-
quired to submit detailed plans for
It's proposed administration of the
funds. A state accepting, it's plans
being approved, will receive at first
$4,000 and 5000 year thereafter.
An additional $4,000 a year will be re-
ceived if the state appropriates $4,000
to match it. This would make $4,000
for the first year and $4,000 year
thereafter. In addition $4,000 is to
be distributed among the states on
the basis of population provided the
states appropriate enough to match
it. The act is supposed to protect
parents in their right to liberty of
action, and provides that the states
shall take the initiative in preparing
and carrying out plans. This is as it
should be.

A JOB NOT BE sHIRKED

The Wilson administration gave
the F:lipinos all the rope they wanted
ard encouraged them in thinking that
independence would be granted them
irrespective of whether they should
prove themselves fit. Commissioners
Wood and Forbes find after careful
investigation of affairs in that coun-
try that the Filipinos have shown
they are not yet qualified to take
over and keep the islands, and large
numbers of the natives agree with
the commissions report.
Of course those who have been
manipulating the politics and finan-
ces to their own satisfaction do not
agree with this. Nobody expected
