NATION'S GREATEST ASSET. l'he Chairman said that the report meant a great deal of useful and solid work. It was work not much seen at the time, but it bore fruit in numerous ways. He was sure that everyone who took an interest in national welfare, and believed that after all the children were the greatest a&set of the nation, must recog- nise that their infantile mortality was a disgrace to the community. Dealing with the question of street trading, Mr. Miles said it was a serious thing that young people were deprived of the joys of child- hood. Mrs. M. B. Williams proposed the re- appointment of the General Committee, with the addition of Lady Lyons, Miss Benson and Mrs. Webber. Mise Vivian seconded, Mr. David Grey supported, and the resolution was adopted. Sir J. T. D. Llewellyn was elected Presi- dent, and Sir Alfred Mond (Bart.), Lady Swansea and Miss Vivian were elected ] vice-presidents. j Value of Child Life. Mies A??hner, representing the parent eoaety, gave a rousing addre??, in which she stated that with our birth-vate at the lowest, and our death-rate on the batH<" field, there was more need than ever to save child-life. More could be done, and j more must be done, to save the children She pointed out that the death-rate 0: legitimate children was 103; that of the. illegitima 213. They could do something' to alter that. Their text was Children are dying, and the children should live.' If they had spent on the children what they were now spending in one day on the war, many more would be living. Father Carrol Bailey, moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman, said he lived in a poor district of the town, and having many children to look after, the Society had given him unrivalled help. The Society officers were helpful because they were discreet. They showed training and knowledge in dealing with these CMf'S. He urged co-operation between the Aft^r-Caro Committee and the Society. The Rev. Beynon Phillips seconded, re- ferring particularly to the society's object. the prevention of cruelty.
