Mothers Federal Aid
Reply to Opponent Who Terms 1t
Masked Paternalism"
To the Editor Of The Tribune

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune for March 9
there appeared letter from Cornelia
A. Gibbs, secretary of tho Woman's
constitutional League of Maryland, de-
nouncing the Sheppard -Towner ma
ternity and infancy act and terming it
masked paternalism.' May | beg the
courtesy of little space in which to
reply?
] must begin by asking questions.
Why this sudden fear of co-opera-
tion with the Federal government after
the acceptance for fifty years OF funds
for the state agricultural colleges, and
Tor building armores in which the
militia prepare to defend the country? ?
Why is it reasonable to take Federal
money to educate boys for the national
good after they arc grown up but
dangerous to take it for keeping them
alive through infancy?
Miss Gibbs says: "Thcre are no
supcrmen or superwomen in Washing
ton that can look out for our local
affairs better than we can look out for
them ourselves" The fact is, however.
that in general mothers and babies
have been so badly Cooked out for"
that this richest country in the world
even now stands at the foot of the
list OF seventeen civilized nations in
the matter OF the care of mothers. In
upstate New York alone the deaths
of women from preventable causes con-
nected with childbirth numbered seven
hundred in the year 1920 the last for
which figures are available. Rated by
our infant mortality, the United States
is the seventh from the top in the list
of nations.
The progress that we have made in
baby saving and in arousing the ma
tion to the dire need of national CO.
operative effort is due largely to the
extraordinarily brilliant work done by
the Federal Children's Bureau. under
its first chief, Julia c. Lathrop, and her
successor now in office. Until the
bureau forced public attention to this
matter we lived in fools paradise,
with only half dozen cities making
local attempts to abolish our national
disgrace
1t is interesting that Maryland's
neighboring state, Virginia, accepted
the Sheppard -Towner act and agreed
to match its allotted share Of Federal
money, by a vote unanimous in the
Senate, and with only seven dissenting
voices in the House

Mixed Jury Tempests

Minnesota's tempest over mixed
juries has no doubt brought satisfac-
ton to the opponents of jury duty
tos women, who may now wag their
heads with a knowing air as they
chant II told you So" AS might
have been expected, the newly estab-
lished practice of summoning women
for jury service has not brought
with it any reform in old methods,
nor have any logical exemptions
been provided to fit feminine qualih-
cations.

Call for Scoutmasters
Thlrty-four Groups in Manhattan
Need Leaders-SchooI to Open

lhlrty-iour groups IN Manhattan
Need Leaders-SchooI to Open
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Seventeen troops of Boy Scouts
IN the Borough Of Manhattan arc to-
day without scoutmasters At least
seventeen other groups of boys are
waiting to be formed into troops. They
cannot be organized because there are
no leaders available.
There never was time in the his
tory of this city when proper leader
ship Of its boys was more important
than it is to-day. Scarcely a week
passes without formidable record of
crimes attributed to boys in their
teens. The newspapers draw atten-
tion every day to the "orme wave"
and no intelligent reader can fail to
understand the dcplorable influences
which the existing conditions must
have on the youth Of this city. Yet
there are at least thirty-four groups
Of boys asking for guidance of the
right sort and thus far asking in vain.
If men between the ages Of twenty
one and thirty-fve who, by reason of
education and opportunity, are quail
fed for such duties are not willing to
sacrifice even one evening a week and
an occasional Saturday afternoon for
the benefit of their younger brothers it
it no wonder that the boys seek and
obtain other and less desirable lead
ership elsewhere.
This borough teens with college men
and exoffccrs Of the army. Such men
ebowcd one another in their anxiety
to get into the service of their country
during the war. Are they all too busy
now to perform an even higher service
for this city?
A scoutmasters' school opens March
13, 1922, in the Museum of Natural
History. Attendance is limited to one
night a week and all instruction is
free. Volunteers can obtain full in
formation by addressing Manhattan
Scoutmasters' Committee, Room 302, So
Wall Street, in person or by letter.

Wilson'S Way or No Way

Senator Robinson's attack ON the
four-power Pacific treaty was cam
didly described by the Washington
CORRESPONDENT of "The New York
Times" as the first onslaught from
the ranks of those Senators who fol-
lowed Woodrow Wilson in the fight
for the League Of Nations and have
since remained loyal to the ex-
President" Mr. Robinson's argu-
ments may therefore be assumed
TO express the Wilson point of view.
The Arkansas Senator says that
the four-power treaty constitutes an
alliance" and should be rejected
on that ground. 1t is an association
Of the four chief powers with in
sular possessions in the Pacific to
discourage aggression there. Each
signatory is obligated to respect the
territorial rights Of the other sigma
tories and to consult in case of at
tack by an outside power This is
plainly a regional agreement for
maintaining peace Of the sort which
Article XXI of the league cove
nant sanctions. League members
might enter into it without offence,
according to the friends of the
<Qgue, but by some queer twist of
2 sic they hold that the United
Safes is debarred from entering
into it.
The Anglo-Japanese Far Eastern
alliance exists under the covenant.
The four-power treaty terminates
it. Mr.. Robiason would like to
keep the former alive by defeating
the latter He would surrender the
great advantages to the United
States of the denunciation Of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, the
pacification of the Far East and the
latioing of naval capital ship
strength, simply in order to main
tain the barren proposition that
what we could do as a member Of
the league we ought not to try to
DO as non-member.
What theory are the Wilson Sen
ators pursuing except that the
United States must never do in any
other way what it declined to do in
Mr. Wilson's way? There must first
be long years Of repentance in
:ackcloth and ashes, Mr. Wilson
and Mr.. Baker wanted to have Con-
gress support regular army OF
575, 600 men, so that he could send
a couple Of hundred thousand men
to Armenia, or, perhaps, fulfill the
implied pledge he made at Paris to
Rumania to defend her boundaries
against aggression. He and Mr.
Daniels wanted to spend 0O,0O0,-
600 a year building a navy big
enough to insure us the mastery of
the seas. Why? Simply because
the Senate baked at accepting the
covenant without reservations.
Must We do these things solely
because we are not in the league,
although the Washington conference
has found way to escape doing
them? Mr.. Robinson wants to re-
vive the Anglo-Japanese treaty, to
defeat naval arn,aDoo,+ l;n,;+o+;o,o
10 restore chaos in the Far East and
to throw us back to where we were
when Mr.. Wilson and his advisers
were saying that enormous army
and navy expenditures were our
only salvation. Why? Well, ap-
parently, only because Mr.. Wilson
decided to slaughter the Versailles
treaty rather than modify it and
Mr.. Cox ran several million votes
behind for the presi6encv
