toilers, are today the victims OF
the most unheard Of brutal child
misery want ana tabor. There are
millions Of workers and farmers
homes in America, where there are
children sick with some disease,
or are staying home for lack Of
clothing with which to go to
school, or vainly appealing TO their
mothers for bread.
The White House conference on
Nov. 80, 1880, ON "Child Health
and Projections" "tearfully" adj
mitted that even In normal
times, at least six million out Of
as million children in the United
States, are not properly nourish-
ed, and that nearly four hundred
thousand are tubercular. On the
basis of school board reports, the
capitalist press is forced to admit,
that 900 of the children are un-
dernourished and starved. $3.50 Of
the workers children in the Unit
ed States have defective teeth
while the granaries are overstock-
ed with food. Doctors and health
authorities, predict a terrible rise
Of tuberculosis and ricketts, because
of the conditions under which the
children live.
Millions of workers who havI
produced all the necessities of lif'
are unemployed, underpaid, an,
surely too poor to buy food 70
their children. The bosses dunn
thousands of tons of food an
fruit and gallons of milk int
oceans and rivers in effort t
keep up prices and increase pro
, fits, while our children haven't til

Yet the capitalist millionaire pre-
n1oter, President Hoover, has X
peatedly declared, that it is M
the business Of the government
: help the starving children. At II
