Roosevelts announcement said:

has been good enough to say that
he will make the nominating

Roosevelt, a democrat, won that
Office In a county always repubIi-

That contest and resulting COM

Child Health Day" was establish

capitalist government, to be obsery-
ed May First. AS ar attempt to
distract the workers from the sing
nificance of May First, the Interna-
tional day of struggle of the revolu-
tionary working class, Child Health
Day" must be exposed and working
class demonstrations of protest stag
ed in all cities. Mass misery is
mounting by leaps and bounds, and
to 10 million children are starving
in land of plenty.
What is of Child Health Day"
of the capitalist class? Its history
goes back 20 years ago. Theodore
Roosevelt, the Bull Moose progress
sive" Republican standard bearer,
called the First White House Con-
ference to hoodwink the working
class into believing that something
would be done for ''tfle health and
protection of the children" Of the
nation. Roosevelt sent out the in
yitations for the Conference ION
Christmas day, in 1909. Fifteen re-
concentrations came out of this
conference, the outstanding one:
that children should not be remoy-
ed from their own homes by reason
of poverty" Tens of thousands OF

exist and suffer in the charity in

who kept us out Of war;" and
whipped up the imperialist war

and a war to make the world safe

White House Conference on Child
Health during 1919 Money was sup
piled from the war emergency fund
to organize the conference in Wash
ington. Wilson at that time was at
tending the so?called Peace Confer
ence, in Paris. With characteristic
demagogy Mr.. Wilson piously ex-
pressed the hope that the confer
ence would be successful in setting
up certain irreducible standards
for the health and education and
work of the American child"

national bourgeoisie, betrayed the
revolution in April, 1927, in the face
of the rising strength of the Chinese
