MILK FOR GERMAN. BABIES.

PROTESTS AGAINST CESSION OF COWS.

Two memorials have been presented by British women to the Reparation Commission in Paris asking the Commission to give their most careful and earnest consideration to the con- sequences which will ensure if those clauses in the Peace Treaty be immediately enforced which provide for the cession by Germany of 140,000 mileh cows and 10,000 goats.

the

The first memorial 8378-

The recent White Paper on the subject of Food Conditions in Germany contains reliable evidence of the terrible suffering smong children which deficiency in the milk supply is already causing in that country. The increase of tuberculosis in Germany has been immense, especially among the children of the middle class. In combating 'the white plague' milk is a prime necessity. In the interests of Europe and of the world we feel the German people should not be further bampered in their attempt to limit its ravages. Short as is the present milk supply, we are told that, quita apart from the proposed cession of cows, it will soon be even less.

"In view of the conditions which already prevail among the children of Germany, we cannot bat view with grave apprehension. and even horror, the consequences, which must follow from Baý further reduction in the milk supply-consequences which we cannot suppose that those who framed the Treaty either con- templated or desired, It must be the universal desire of the civilized world to prevent any unnecessary extension of the infant death-roll wbich has already resulted from the war, and to avoid the terrible increase of bitterness and of unrest that would inevitably accompany it. The probable loss of infant life, resultant on the immediate cession of 140,000 mileh cows, and the further curtailment of the milk supply thereby involved, has been estimated at 600,000 Eves.

We venture, therefore, to press on the attention of the Reparation Commission the concluding para- graph of the statement by Mr. McDougall (page 2% of the White Paper): The shortage of milk has already told heavily on the children, as shown by the great
