In a 10,000-word report prepared for the November White House Conference on Child Health, a Nation-wide system of uniform statistics on dependency and meglect of children is urged by Homer | Folks, chairman of the subject. Attacking the child-protection prob- lem, Folks deplored the absgnce of such | statistics, “After many years of trying various methods of dealing with child depend- ency, after caring for unknown thou- sands of children and spending un- known millions of dollars, we now ‘have only a few facts and many guesses as to what has been accomplished and whither we are tending,” he said. He pronounced the Federal Children’s Bureau, with and through the State Departments of Welfare, “the cbvious agency for the collecting of such mnfor- mation.” Miss Abbott Holds Parley, Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the Chil- dren’s Bureau, held a confercnce look- ing toward such collection of social sta- tistics last week and advanced as one | of the arguments in its favor the value | of child dependency statistics as a | barometer of adult unemployment. | Folks advocated that the Children's Bureau be enabled to collect the de- pendency statistics, | Among other things, the committec | found: Almshouses for the care of children, & system condemned a century ago, still operating in certain localitles; large | numbers of children still being sepa- rated from their homes because of pov- | erty; many child-caring agencies with- out responsible organization; unau- thorized groups receiving children for profit; large numbers of children handi- capped by mass migration; large be- quests tied to outworn methods of child care, while modern progressive methods lacked adequate support. ~ Other Recommendations. In addition to national statistics, the committee recommended: Mother’s aid; special provisions to in- sure the welfare of children born out| of wedlock; meeting of the unusual needs of colored, Mexican, Porto Rican and Indian children; adequate legisla- tion in every State for protection of dowments and gifts worded in flexible terms, leaving precise methods to dis- cretion of future trustees; more research on cause and cure of dependency. | ENSIGN IS DROWNED IN LAUNCHING PLANE Navy Day Maneuvers Result in One Death—Companion Prob- ably Injured Fatally.

C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1930. HOLDS FRANCE STRIVES FOR ANTI-SOVIET BLOC Communist Newspaper Charges Diplomats Use League of Na- tions to Further Schemes. By the Assoclated Press. MOSCOW, October 28.-—Pravda, Communist newspaper, in an editorial today accused France of responsibilty for an anti-dumping campaign which followed Russia’s recent heavy ship- ments of wheat to foreign ports. The newspaper said France is the center of all anti-Soviet machinations, where the program is ‘“directed to- ward creating an anti-Soviet bloc of all countries bordering on Soviet Rus- sia from the Baltic to the Black Sea. The editorial further declares that French diplomats are working with the WE CORDIALLY French staff and that the chiefs of the latter are the actual | leaders of the armed powers of Poland |and Rumania. French diplomacy, Pravda charges, has used the League of Nations as a center of anti-Soviet schemes. ‘That foes of the Soviet outside also are giving aid to counter revolutionaries in Russia, 1s another charge contained in the editorial, which concludes that “in the face of all these activities,” the lnborlnf masses will “still more deci- sively lead the advance of socialism along the entire front.” Expects Woman Premier.
