Willkie Tells COP To End Cliches.
Be More Alert

That the leaders of the Republican Party will have to be
more alive alert and aggressive is the opinion OF Philip H.
Wile Indiana State legislator and of the late Wendell
Wilkie the Republican presidential candidate in 1910
In a lively letter to the Republican New York Herald
Tribune Wkie makes the following commonsense observa
ons regarding the political fortunes and policies OF the
COP:
Zone of the principal problems of the Republicans is
that although of prominent leaders ncludng In
my opinion all of the who important candidates

and economic facts of today nevertheless when they talk
they sound like they don't Republican politicians have
veyed the idea to the average working that they
against him. To him. they always seem to be appealing to
the preudces of the who will vote for them regardless
Most people not concerned with an overwhelming
fear of socialism, statism and the welfare state They
concerned with living. They think about the things which
affect their lives their tkehome pay their rent their

to pay for major operation and what going to happen
to them when they get old.
1T to me that if Republican politicians wish to
have political and influence they going to have to
stop talking in generalities cches and pattudes Repub

Child Labor Lingers On

Child labor in the United States-that s the employ
ment of children under 18has dropped since the bad old
days and since the high times of the Second World
War In 1915 three million youngsters at work. Ac-
codng to the current report of the National Child Labor
Committee the total is not about Million of whom 100000
are in the 14-and-15-year-old age group.
Other children want to work. or their parents want
them to- but unemployed About 100000 of those under
6 have dropped out of school Amendments this year the
Fair Labor Standards Act have done something reduce
the army of child workers but federal laws cannot touch
occupations not in interstate State laws in all
but 10 states fail to forbid the employment of children under
16 during school hours and in of the 10 there
exemptions and exceptions.
Finally there doubtless much child labor that is
reported Child labor may sometimes parents cruel
necessity. Or it may be survival of the old rural attitude
that ought to do chores he walk while

and the lingering tradition have been much exploited
This nation rich enough to do without the regular paid
employment of children who should be in school.

Tdft's Campaign

Sen Robert A. Taft has pretty well indicated what type
of campaign he intends to wage for reelection For instance
he criticized labor forces for sending outsiders into the
State of Ohio to influence voters.
1t happens that the most influential labor leader who
has spoken against Taft in the Buckeye State native and
resident of Ohio AS matter of fact he formerly served
in the Ohio Senate We President William Green OF
the American Federation of Labor.
And furthermore inaSmuch u. S. Senator votes on
national legislation, do not why it wrong for per-
outside of his state to be interested in his campaign
Taft often has shouted the floor of the Senate that
he is concerned only with the national welfare Then why
does he jump others for being similarly concerned when
Senate?
The Senator also defended the Taftiartey Act by
ing must be good law because trade unions have con-
tinued to increase their membership.
He negecs to state that they have grown is
because there is greater working force than during the
prewar days.
Taft takes credit for helping to put through housing
legislation But what housing legislation, Mr. Taft? You
don't houses for people who they are
poor?
Why doesn't the distinguished gentleman tell the voters
of Ohio that he adequate housing at fair prices Tor
workers in mddencome brackets? Why doesn't he tell
them that he opposes Federal loans housing cooperaves
that would mean houses renting for $50 to 500 month
would rent for $50 to $50?
Ostensby, the eminent Senator doesn't want the Gov
ernmen to spend for the purpose However, the pro-
gram-on only per cent basis-would pay for itself
Mr. Taft ashes out at labor officials who he opposes
the interest of the working wages Well he voted to
exempt 250000 working men and women from coverage of
the 75-cent minimum law lie apparently gureS that

they are.
