Dear Old John SpargO, yociferous,
urbane erudite, has broken out against
the Child Labor Amendment. There
is no one who, on the lecture plat
form, creates an impression of great
er mastery of every subject on earth
than John Spargo. There is none
who yields the pen with greater as
surance.
Back over q trail Of many years
John has gone forth to fight for and
against all manner Of things. He has
played well the role of patron saint
of all who are weary and heavy laden.
He makes a magnificent knight.
Many years ago, when there was
perhaps more misery in the world
than there is today, and when there
was no Child Labor Amendment in
the air, John Spargo wrote a book.
This book was called "The Bitter Cry
Of the Children" II was stirring
plea for American childhood. Today
John Spargo opposes the only practi-
cal measure yet found for the imme-
date release of all American children
from factory employment. This is
one Of the highly interesting develop
ments Of today.
1t is announced that Secretary of
State Hughes, who is soon to leave
the cabinet, is to visit Mexico. That
is good. Mr.. Hughes, who has played
a large part in the development of
the pleasant harmonious relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico
viii see that good work has been done
and that the good relations promise
to pay better in the future than in the
past. Mr.. Hughes knows how to OBJ
serve and, If he goes to Mexico, he
win find much worth observing. Lei
him not forget to study carefully the
very important labor movement Of
Mexico, without which present stabil.
ity might not have been developed.
Now that Mr.. Hughes is retiring
and Mr.. Kellogg is coming in as Sec.
rotary of State, the Communist propa
gandists are doing their best to create
the impression that the Soviets ar'
going to have easier going. There il
nothing to indicate any such idiocy
There is much to indicate that the
present policy viii be continued.
Mr.. Kellogg will come to his new
job fresh from London, where thu
Communists have been cutting VI
capers as 3 result of Ramsay MacDon
AIDS nonsense in giving them reeog
milton. Whoever has observed wha
has happened in London should havl
an eyeful. if not more.
Those who prize democracy will re
member Mr.. Hughes service in pre-
venting Communism from capturing
the prize jewel in the intsrnationa

ward until the police are confident
they have no direct leads to the
person sought.
