CHILD ItROR PLAN LIT
 BN \. '. WORLD

After having supported the pro- posed goth amendment, relating to the federal prohibition Of child labor, tNe N,w York World today, in a triple.)eaded, two-coIumn edt- torial, comes out against it.
 After cnumering child-labor con- dluous in many Of the states, which tt admits are leplorable, the World says;
 "Thcse arc serious evils which
 urgently call for remedy, The
 question Is whether 1t Is neccs-
 sary or desirable 10 turn to Congress and 10 the federal ad- uinIstrauon for the remedy. The World. after careful consid-
 crauan, has come 10 the con-
 cluslon that it IS not necessary and may be highly undesirable" The World enumerates a constant advancement m regulation of child labor since 1912 and believes the advancement will continue without q federal amendment. The govern ment it holds, would have 10 en- force the amendment through a special enforcement act, like the Nolstead act in connection with the 18th amendment, and in this con- ncction says:
 "The government at Wash ington cannot successfully reach into the localities and enforce a legal standard of personal liv-. inE which the bulk of the peo-' pie of that locality do not sup port -
 "Therefore, since enforcement of laws depend on local sup port, since the protection Of children involves an educatlon- al policy and social legislation of most complicated sort, the World Is convinced that the short cut Of a uniform federal standard will be an apparent short cut, and not real one. ""s Our last great experience with CentralizatiOn was the 18th amendment and the Vol stead act. It has been danger ous and corrupting experience, and the World will oppose any further advance like 1t which involves the regulation from Washington of personal lives and local affairs, except on the proof of overwhelming necessi- ty. In that position the World believes itself to be standing for the preservation of liberal democracy and against the growth Of imperialism" ."
 The World declares 1t recognizes the educatiye effect upon public opinion of the federal child labor laws and of the campaign for the amendment itself. They have help cd enormously without a doubt tc induce the states to improve their own laws"
 And then it thinks Congress can help this situation immensely by passing a model children's code for the District of Columbia to serve as
