FOODLESS CHILDREN
GOVERNMENT POWERLESS TO ACT. /
(Received 23rd January, noon.)
LONDON, 23rd January,
■ A recent medical examination of Berlin school children showed that two out of five attended foodless: six thousand boys were shirtless, and thirty thousand bare-footed, despite the' wintry weather. This has resulted in an alarming increase of children's diseases. A majority of those fully employed in industries are miserably paid. Meanwhile the agrarians, wholesale dealers, and middlemen prosper exceedingly, passing otT'taxation in the shape of inflated prices, while the Government, controlled by such interests, is powerless to remedy the present scandalous state of affairs.
