should not hesitate To decline, stating,

By International New. Service.


Chinese and japanese children in
this country suffer less, in proper
ton, from the evils Of child labor
than do native American children Of
native parentage.
This fact was revealed today by
statistics Of the 1920 census.
According to the figures. just pub
lished by the Bureau Of the Census,
fewer little Orientals between the
ages Of ten and fifteen years went
to work than did children Of
straight American" stock, Of the
same age.
Seven per cent Of these white
children were wage-earners. Per
centages for the Chinese and
Japanese children were only s.s and
e.5 respectively.
Native born children Of immigrant
parents made q still better showing,
only 6.s per cent being employed
Foreign born white children, how
ever, were o. per cent employed
while 2i.s per cent Of negro children
were at work.
