Cesspools Where Child Labor Is Legitimate
Infect the Entire Nation
BY nERBERT c. noovER. Q. S. Secretary of commerce.

Every well wisher Of children must feel deeply
the failure of the last effort in national prevention
of child labor. \ study of the situation as it stands
will show that a majority of states have forward
looking and effective laws in child protection, that
some Others have enacted legislation that at least goes
part way. But there is a minority that are still in
the Middle ages in their attitude to childhood.
Child labor in these backward states is compete
lively unfair to industry in the states that have re-
sponded to the moral and social ideals of our people.
