And to aid them. Hollywood's

We stroll along the river bank, our

For magic moments we rest our eyes
on this queer living thing. 1t is Of
about the same size as real duck, but
instead Of feathers 1t has fur.
A twig cracks, and the duckbill
plunges into the water. It is a good
swimmer, for nature has equipped 1t
with webbed feet.
After the animal passes from sight,
we return to our camp. Duckbi1ls lay
eggs, and II 1t were not for their fur

children UNDER CAPITALISM"

CHILDREN UNDER CAPITALISM.
Is5ued by International Pamphlet
series, No. 80. Written by Grace
Hutchins. Reviewed by Helen Kay,
editor New Pioneer.
What is happening to our children
in this crisis of crumbling capital
ism? The answer is given us by
Grace Hutchins in a pamphlet issued
by the Labor Research Association,
in their International Pamphlet
series. called Children Under Capt.
taIism.
Within It's "a pages Comrade
Hutchins tells us simply and factually
what is occurring among the masses
of workers children. She tells us how
starvation and malnutrition is taking
the children Of the working class by
the scores. She tells us how the
schools are being shut down, and the
simple elements of education, read
ing, writing and 'rithmetic.' are
being taken out of the grasp of
workers children.
Children under Capitalism are
shaving in the mills and mines, and
farms, for mere pittances; 100000
of them are taking their worker and
farmer fathers places in industry.
They work, too, while their big
brothers and sisters are "riding the
rods, vainly searching for employ
ment.
Negro children under capitalism, in
the black belt Of the South or in the
segregated sections Of the huge cities
In the North, are even worse off than
their white brothers. For their
fathers are the first to be laid off,
and the last to be given relief or re-
hired.
The pamphlet relates wildly the
death by malnutrition of longshore-
mans baby. Not enough sunshine,
not enough milk, and after a tough
little struggle to grow, the baby died,
and was buried in a box two feet
long"
In contrast to the stark misery and
death of the workers baby due to
lack Of milk, Comrade Hutchins tells
us of Lucy Cotton Thomas, aged 7
years, who Elves at 995 Fifth Avenue
in New York City. Lucy has
yearly income of more than 100000
from a trust fund set up by her
grandfather and her mother claimed
in a petition to the Surrogate Court
that the child needs over $4,000 a
month for living expenses" She was
granted that sum. And in the mean
time there are many more longshore-
mems babies and carpenters babies
and bricklayers babies and machin-
lists babies, right in New York City,
who are dying because their fathers
have no jobs They have no jobs
