AO, SOUR j “Health visitor he cave huh ak arolyi, former president of Hungary, a : “Health » he says, ach a liberal republican, was refused admission A estimated 89 per cent of the children to this country to be at the bedside of his born in a year in England and Wales and 18 per cent of the expectant mothe: “With our larger population, greater distances and higher costs for both serv- ice and material, we are obviously able to do much less for mothers and babies than Great Britain.” England’s infant mortality rate was 69 per 1,000 in 19238. The United States rate was 77. Surely the United States of America the richest nation on earth—can afford | to spend a little more money to save our babies. We spend only about $900,000 per year now, compared to the British $4,500,000. THE ELEPHANT AND MOUSE | ECRETARY OF STATE KELLOGG’S refusal to allow Shapurji Saklatvala, British member of parliament, to enter this country is just plain silly—like the | antics of an elephant screaming in terror | at sight of a mouse. | True, the fellow is a communist. But what of it? If the British can stand him as a steady diet, both as citizen and M.P., | without suffering any dire consequences to their royal house, surely we might stand him one short week without a revo- lution. Saklatvala had intended coming to Washington because, as a membe# of the English house of commons, he wanted to be present at the 23ra annual conference of the interparliamentary union, begin- ning October 1. As a strong nation conscious of .our strength we should have paid no more at- tention to him than to any other delegate. Senator Borah has the right idea. “If he comes here and violates any law of the United States, put him in jail,” he says. “But let him come.” That is the dignified attitude. And how different from that adopted by our department of state! Before the world we are made to appear like a reactionary autocracy held trembling in place by only a thread which the slightest jar may break. | This paper cares not one feeble whoop | for the gentleman with the queer name. | We never heard of him before and prob- Q Can turtles be caught on/ heoks? | A.

Later Canada received him with open arms and let him speak his soul and he said absolutely nothing which George Washington himself would not have applauded. England harbors this man today and leaves him free to go and come and talk as he will. Has the America of 1925 swapped places with 18th century England? Have we become the land of bigotry and intol erance and Britain the home of freedom? It looks so, much to our shame. THE UNCLE NEBO SCHOOL HE old-fashioned Southern darkey was absolutely without a peer as a diplomat. One of them once did us a slight service. “How much do we owe you, Uncle Nebo?” we inquired. “Whatevah y'all wanta gimme,” he an- swered with a courtly bow and a smile that was irresistable. “Evvybody knows what a gen’rous gen’man y all is—spechly us cullud folks. Ah wouldn't think of axin’ y'all to pay me fo’ what Ah done— ‘deed Ah wouldn't! Jes’ make me a Chris’mas gif’.” Of course he was paid 10 times more than the service was worth.

He would soon be back with generous terms in his pocket “A gentleman’s offer to gentlemen,” is the way he smilingly but vaguely de- scribes the proposition he intends to make us. Which sounds very much like he belongs to the Uncle Nebo school. He starts off with blarney behind which we somehow scent the expectation of a gen- tlemanly open-handedness on our part is now which we will find hard to disappoint.
