NO MORE AMENDMENTS
ARE DESIRED NOW

The National Educational Associa-
ton proposes to continue the fight
for the child labor amendment.
Doubtless, except for educational
purposes, that is now futile.
We are in period of reaction
against reform, against federal en-
croachments on the states. and
against constitutional amendments
of any sort, good or bad.
That is temporary state. 1t is
a symptom of tired nerves and flab-
by consciences, such as always fol-
lows the emotional exaltation Of
war Time and rest will cure it.
Then the child labor amendment
will or will not become a practical is
sue according as it is or is not
then practically needed. 1t is up to
the states.
If they, or any important number
Of them. try to get advantage Of
each other by lax child labor laws.
Congress will inevitably be given
the right to pass uniform laws for
all.
Let the states act, now. or the ma
tion will, later.
